Advanced TV
Advanced TV refers to the connection of the classic TV set to the Internet. The functions known from the Internet are thus also available on the television. This offers advertisers new interactive advertising opportunities: After the - interactively designed - TV commercial is played, the viewer can be directed to the company website or a landing page with special offers, for example.
Connected TV has long since conquered its place in the living room and is becoming increasingly effective. At 73%, awareness of CTV is at a high level, with the older target group of 50-69-year-olds in particular gaining the most, according to the latest study. CTV usage continues to be highest among households with children, with the strongest growth compared to the previous year among one-person households. Overall, 52% of all respondents watch CTV weekly, with more than a quarter using CTV daily.*
