According to eMarketer, 63% of Canadian households already own a CTV device. Since the pandemic began in March 2020, there has been a 200% increase in CTV consumption. Advertisers expect to increase spending on CTV/OTT by 22% in the second half of 2021.

Media Pulse focuses specifically on aggregating and curating the most popular, broad, and niche connected television apps, platforms, and MVPD’s in North America. The partnership provides Atedra with unique access to a one-stop-shop of premium, price-efficient connected television inventory at scale.
