It’s no secret that CTV is experiencing explosive growth. By 2026, nine streaming services are projected to generate over $1 billion in ad revenue, up from just two in 2020.

As consumer behaviors and cultural conversations rapidly shift, marketers need to make more dynamic decisions to remain relevant. This panel will explore how the industry can deliver on these promises by ensuring biddable CTV is transparent, TV-quality and brand-safe.
