What is connected tv advertising?

Connected TV (CTV), is a smart TV, smartphone, desktop, tablet or any device that is connected to the internet and facilitates the delivery of streaming video content.

How CTV ads work

CTV ads on Hulu, Apple TV, Roku, Chrome, Fire TV and Xbox.

A CTV connects to the internet through built-in capabilities or an external "over-the-top" (OTT) device that enables a standard TV set to become a Connected TV. Voila!
