CTV investment is booming. With global CTV ad revenues set to more than double within the next five years ($6.65 billion in 2024 to $13.5 billion by 2029), the channel is quickly becoming one of the most popular for advertisers aiming to reach highly engaged audiences. Compared to traditional/linear TV, CTV has opened the door to brands that haven’t traditionally had the budgets, resources or access before, allowing them to bring it into the omnichannel fold.

But CTV isn’t without its challenges. Wasted ad spend, measurement barriers and access to inventory are just some of the barriers preventing brands from fully embracing CTV. When used in isolation rather than as part of an omnichannel strategy, CTV can also become a cost centre rather than a revenue generator. Then there’s the way CTV is viewed within marketing strategies - is it a driving force to support performance-led metrics, a tactic to create long-term brand awareness, or both?

In this roundtable, industry experts will gather to discuss the evolving CTV landscape, what’s drawing advertisers to or away from CTV as a channel, and what the future of the industry looks like in 2025.
