    2 Min Read According to a study by Basis Technologies, Connected TV advertising may become the preferred platform for political spending in the 2024 presidential race. The study found that programmatic ad impressions and spend on Connected TV devices increased by over 60% from 2020 to 2022. Video overall was the most popular format for digital advertising, making up a 68% share. Connected TV was a key driver for video’s popularity, with CTV programmatic ad spend growing from 19% of total budgets in 2020 to 30% in 2022. The study also revealed that CTV had a significant impact on shifting media spend by device, especially for direct buying methods. CTV ads made up almost half of direct spending for 2022 political marketers, contributing to the decline in social advertising share over the past elections. Overall, the study highlights the increased role Connected TV will play in successful political campaigns, and the need for a combination of speed, engagement, and measurability to win future races.

    3 Min Read Political ad spending is in full swing in anticipation of the November midterms. In fact, AdImpact reports that $3.6 billion has already been spent on political and issue ads so far this year. And it looks like streaming has been contributing heavily to that dollar number—of the nearly $700 million spent on digital so far in 2022, 44% has been allocated to Connected TV. There are a number of reasons why political advertisers are looking to Connected TV this year in order to reach prospective voters. Unlike linear TV, streaming platforms do not need to comply with the 1934 Communications Act, which requires broadcasters to provide political advertisers with equal time. Many political advertisers are also excited about the superior targeting abilities of this channel over linear. According to Al Behmoiras, senior manager of strategic relationships at Comcast’s FreeWheel, CTV gives political advertisers “the ability to target swing voters, Republicans, Democrats. There is lots of targeting available on CTV that’s difficult to target against on linear, and so by shifting dollars to streaming, the agencies can get much more granular in who they’re able to target.” Ultimately, he reports that between 20-30% of linear ad budgets have been already shifted from linear to Connected TV this year.
