Connected TV (CTV) combines television content and the Internet. It enables smart ads and targeting to reach audiences right in their living rooms without the need to purchase television ads.
Smart TV (Connected TV abroad) had a reach of 44%, i.e. 3.8 million of the Czech population aged over 16, in 2022. It is especially popular with people under 55, who most often use it to watch streamed digital content. Besides classic television broadcasting, it is the most watched media and therefore also space for the best reach in terms of promotion. We purchase and manage everything through RTB systems like DV360 or Adform.
Smart TV usage by gender and age
Users are stopping watching television - reach them through Smart TV
This content is most often consumed as VOD (video on demand) - the most well-known include Netflix, Disney+ and the Czech Voyo. At the same time, YouTube video playback via Smart TV is very widespread in the Czech Republic. YouTube users watched 700 million hours of video per day on average on connected televisions in 2022. This is a great way to reach people effectively and cheaply on TV, without having to purchase standard TV advertising.
At a time when young users (most often Generation Z and millennials) are stopping watching TV and instead consuming content on the Internet, on YouTube or through subscription services like Netflix, it is crucial to include Smart TV targeting in the overall mix.
Manage and plan advertising across formats with DV360
Smart TV advertising can now be purchased, for example, through the Display & Video 360 platform from Google, where it can then be combined with other platforms such as RTB videos through the Internet and banner campaigns. This gives the advertiser the chance to manage frequency across formats and devices, and plan the investment effectively.
