It is clear that ad tech is finding revenues in CTV news and films amongst a plethora of streaming channels worldwide.
Viewers will be offered free viewing with adverts, or by subscription without, if that is what they prefer.
Some, like ITV have their own walled-garden 'Planet-V', an end-to-end VOD ad solution, where clients can self-serve ads into ITV’s VOD.
Like Google and Facebook, it’s a really simple self-service. It is a demand-side platform, a sell-side platform and an ad server all in one. It’s a programmatic platform, built specifically for TV, looking to avoid the weaknesses of the programmatic ecosystem.
The shift from broadcasting advertising to serving advertising is the ultimate aim.
Targeting can be introduced into the ecosystem, with many layers interacting.
It is early days yet though, apart from Sky and a few others.
Ad tech has a dynamic, competitive, exciting and rapidly evolving roll-out, it won't be a flash in the pan and will take many years to mature.
We are too busy looking and planning ahead to dwell on mistakes in the distant past.

Same goes with choosing a mate perhaps!

The best strategy to find a greater chance of success is to get close to the target.
No use throwing money around all over the show.

Regarding Ad-tech, America is clearly the leader when it comes to companies using audience-viewing technologies and gaining from the latest trends, namely CTV viewing and spending online.
American companies are always good at finding the money and have a huge market on their doorstep..
Having said that a listing on Nasdaq is not the guarantee of success that some seem to believe.
Out of European countries, the U.K. is the leader, Germany is probably second but many countries in Europe are fragmented in their approach to advertising on CTV and, for example, France offers much cheaper advertising on old-fashioned 'linear' TV, currently.
Mainly the agencies are the organisations making the adverts available on CTV and profiting accordingly.
SSP and DSP are different beasts, they are not equally CTV-ready, this creates an imbalance or impediment, future changes may smooth the flow.
China is not that far behind in terms of CTV uptake but every Chinese person is monitored over each and every aspect of what they do online. Countries wishing to engage with China over trade have to be very careful how they tread.
Their TV experience is a window for 'Big Brother' to control them and B.B. very much likes to control businesses too, internally as well as externally.
APAC countries currently have about half the audience reach of America.
From the above it should be clear that there is plenty more to do in terms of selling to a potential audience.
CTV is not about to be extinguished - far from it.

What point are you making numb-nuts?

Twenty years ago??

This is a very dynamic industry, plus the virus has accelerated changes that were not foreseen by anyone.
Shorters are desperate to protect their bets by claiming downward pressures.
A fight over money and it's not a pretty sight!

My Motto - Tell 'em what you think.
If they don't like it then so what!

Where's doggy doodle dandy?
I like his style, a bit brash but speaks his mind.

After it released its first quarterly earnings update, PubMatic stock was up 22% today.
Growth cannot realistically continue ahead at such a high rate, after lockdown ends.

Osteo,

I have not sold for years and will wait a little longer before making a decision either way.
My reasoning - we are in a better place and the management are prudent, competent
and enjoy making money!
Better times ahead, in my opinion.
I am not currently running at a loss but know it can be very stressful.
It is a matter of not being in control, subject to market forces, unexpected twists and turns (snakes and ladders) and an annoying little pests who tries every excuse under the sun to short the granny out of this company, they will fail.

Happy to hold!

As far as I know they always RNS the important data at 7am to allow a more orderly market.
I don't believe notice of an RNS is ever given.

Scorpy,

May do the same for this lot later.
I have a little list!

A little unruly on here:

February 25, 2021 – Leading video ad platform Unruly today announced the launch of its new data-driven digital creative studio. The bespoke studio, named Tr.ly (pronounced Truly), will give advertisers access to a full range of video creative solutions across all screens.

Watch 'em run amuck,
Catch 'em as they fall,
Never know your luck
When there's a free for all,
Here a little `dip'
There a little `touch'
Most of them are goners
So they won't miss much!

Between schoolboys in short pants filtering those they disagree with, whilst sucking up to doggy and supporting others too feeble to cope with 'Killjoy' we don't have a lot going for us.

Tremor are about to rocket.
Commencing countdown, engines on!

Driving down a country lane, a man unfortunately runs over a cat which has dashed out in front of him.
Feeling guilty he stops and looks around for any sign of a house.
Spotting a farmhouse he drives up to the door and knocks.
The door is answered by the farmer and his wife.

" I'm terribly sorry but I think I have run over your cat. "

" Well.... we have several cats, what did it look like ? "

" Hard to say really.....................sort of startled I suppose ! "

Why are people still talking about something they don't want to talk about?

Tremor are about to erupt like a roman-candle with a salvo of good news shooting upwards.
