Long a concern of many marketers, addressable TV advertising still
needs a better return-on-investment (ROI) measurement for the business to accelerate.
A new study by Go Addressable, the pay TV provider consortium, in conjunction with Advertiser Perceptions,
says half of advertisers would increase their investment in addressable products if the business remedied some of their concerns.
Among the marketers who have are currently not committed to
addressable TV, nearly 40% of advertising executives point to budgetary limitations.
In addition, 23% of those who have not spent on addressable agree there are concerns over the
“lack of value relative to cost.”
Traditional TV addressable advertising allows marketers to swap out creative messaging depending on the specific household consumer
target.
eMarketer projects that linear TV addressable spending will grow 27.4% to $3.63 billion this year, and 16.2% to $4.22 billion in 2023.
