Panel: Cost/Benefit TV: Managing the High Cost of Streaming - LIVE
As eyeballs latched onto streaming sources, CPMs have spiked, pulling up with linear and cable buys. But the CTV math gets complicated. Is it achieving similar reach? How much overlap is taking place? What is the real unique reach cost relative to other video channels? How are marketers doing the cost/benefit math on TV, generally, and increasingly expensive CTV, especially?

Bright Shiny Objects: Social Video vs. CTV
While Gen Z spends more time on social media than ever before (51% on IG weekly, 48% on TikTok, 37% on Snapchat) and less (15%) watching cable weekly or more, marketers need to rethink their video ad dollars. Meanwhile, Millennials are still more likely to say they’ve watched a TV series (69%) and movies (70%) in the last week than social media videos (58%). We ask media agency Good Apple to share their recent tests that identified the most effective ways to balance social media video and CTV spend. How do we optimize across the current menu of video options?

Hyun Lee-Miller, VP, Media, Good Apple
