Connected TV: Your New Always-On Powerhouse

No longer a “nice-to-have,” Connected TV (CTV) is now an essential component in media strategies. With U.S. CTV ad spending expected to reach $33 billion, 2025 marks the moment CTV becomes a reliable, always-on performance tool for agencies of all sizes. Improved targeting, enhanced data integration, and interactive ad features are making CTV a prime channel for full-funnel campaigns.

In the e-book: Get deeper insights into how independent agencies can leverage CTV to reach high-intent audiences and deliver ROI, no matter the budget.

Navigating the Fragmented World of Retail Media Networks

Retail Media Networks (RMNs) are one of the fastest-growing ad channels, especially as more brands recognize the potential of connecting with consumers at the point of purchase. But this channel comes with its complexities—RMNs are highly fragmented, with major players like Amazon, Walmart, and Target each offering unique structures, tools, and measurement models.

In the e-book: We provide a roadmap for managing RMNs effectively, from selecting the right platforms to measuring success across disparate networks.

The Growing Role of AI in Media Execution

AI is no longer just for data scientists. As AI-powered tools become more accessible, agencies can use them to drive insights, optimize campaigns, and make faster, smarter decisions. But while AI enables powerful automation, there’s still a need for strategic oversight to ensure campaigns align with client goals and brand values.
