Just like the invention of the remote control and DVR, connected TV and streaming have changed the way we watch TV. CTV accounts for over 40% of video impressions and is practically tied with mobile as a top driver of video consumption. Audiences are more engaged with Interactive CTV ads than ever before, resulting in 63 seconds average time earned, and 0.60% engagement rates.

PadSquad is working with Innovid, a leader in the CTV space, to bring this offering to life. “Advertisers are embracing Interactive CTV for its proven ability to boost engagement and performance of TV advertising,” said Tal Chalozin, CTO of Innovid. “Through this partnership, PadSquad will leverage Innovid’s OTT Composer to expand the reach of high-impact, interactive ads to CTV, creating an omnichannel complement to desktop and mobile campaigns.”
