At Cannes, OpenX hosted a forward-looking panel on CTV, focusing on the growing importance of interrogating the definition of “premium” in advertising, which is increasingly being recognized as a poor indicator for specific advertiser outcomes. Moderated by Tameka Kee, the discussion featured perspectives from Tyler DeNicola, Head of Programmatic at DIRECTV Advertising; Tom Swierczewski, VP of Media Investment and Partnerships at Goodway Group; and Erika Loberg, VP of Global CTV and Curation at OpenX. 

The conversation centered on how bringing decisioning closer to the source can help advertisers improve transparency, reduce unnecessary intermediaries, and make better programmatic CTV buying decisions — highlighting how platforms like OpenX can help bridge buyer demand for transparency with publisher needs for control and value protection.
