What Is Connected TV Advertising and Why It Works

Streaming is now how people watch TV. Connected TV (CTV) lets advertisers reach viewers directly through apps on smart TVs, Roku, Apple TV, and other devices — without the limits of cable. As a connected TV advertising agency, Adcetera, a Houston-based digital marketing agency, helps brands deliver non-skippable video messages that land right where audiences live: their living rooms.

CTV combines the storytelling power of traditional television with the targeting and tracking of digital media. It’s how you make sure your ad dollars are going further, hitting the right households at the right time. Whether you’re launching a national product or targeting locally, CTV gives your message premium placement.
