Together, fuboTV and Kantar enable advertisers to prove the direct impact of CTV campaigns on brand outcomes including brand awareness, brand favorability, consideration and purchase preference. CTV campaigns across fuboTV’s premium inventory can be activated directly or through fuboTV’s preferred programmatic partners and seamlessly evaluated using Kantar’s Brand Lift Insights.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Kantar to help marketers better link investments on CTV to business outcomes,” said Diana Horowitz, SVP, advertising sales at fuboTV. “Marketers understand that CTV is an extremely valuable advertising medium, combining the power, reach, and the big screen experience of traditional TV with capabilities like first-party addressable audience targeting — all in a premium, brand safe environment. Now they can prove the value of CTV campaigns using Kantar’s CTV insights.”

According to Kantar’s MarketNorms database, CTV ads excel at building short-term awareness. Ads that run across connected, streaming and over-the-top platforms are easily recalled (+76% higher than Online Video) and are proven to build purchase intent.

“Our goal is to be the single source of truth for our clients and to help them drive growth through meaningful insights. Our research shows that streaming is a category that continues to grow, not just in terms of active viewers but also ad receptivity, meaning consumers are interested in advertising featured on video streaming services,” says Marco Parente, SVP of Product at Kantar. “We know marketing campaigns are seven times more impactful among a receptive audience and leveraging the medium in the right way is crucial for a campaign’s success. That’s why partnerships like the one we have with fuboTV are critical in helping marketers evaluate and understand how to get the full value from their investments on CTV.”

Kantar’s research finds that streaming keeps growing with the average number of subscriptions per household continuing to increase quarter over quarter (Entertainment on Demand) and that consumers have increased interest in advertising on video streaming channels (Media Reactions 2021).
