As TV viewership habits in the U.S. increasingly shift to OTT, advertisers must combine local TV and OTT together in their media mix in order to maximize their reach amongst their total addressable market. Subsequently, with CTV ad spend projected to grow by 25.2% this year according to eMarketer*, advertisers need to understand the true incremental reach of their OTT campaigns in order to determine the proper allocation of spend across both TV and OTT.
