Meet Joe at:

Panel: Allocation for the Hell of It: Does Overall Media Spend Matter Anymore?
Date/Time: 9:25 AM
Millions have already been spent on Campaign 2024, but has any of it moved a needle, even one bit? Are the traditional costly channels for reaching votes really working? Up-ballot or down-ballot? On continuing to carpet bomb CTV, or on P2P GOTV? On linear TV where no one is watching? On micro-targeted social channels? Or AI-powered hyper-personalized appeals? We start our annual assessment of Marketing Politics by asking MediaPost's perennial question: where do we follow the money this year, and what has changed?

Panel: From Streaming to Gushing: Tactical CTV
Date/Time: 1:15 PM
While half of 2024 cycle TV budgets are still expected to go linear; Connected TV, OTT and digital video will be a major battle ground for precision media. But how are campaigns learning to use data-driven and connected video screens in more targeted and integrated ways? How are they reconciling the incompatible measurement across walled gardens? Connecting the video buys to other digital advertising, direct mail and GOTV efforts?
