CTV and OTT: a quick introduction
OTT describes video delivered over the internet. Connected TV, or CTV, refers to the internet-connected television or device used to watch it. A streaming program can be delivered through OTT and watched on a CTV device. This distinction helps when discussing where an advertising campaign will appear. Amazon Ads’ CTV guide provides further background.
Beyond the ad itself
The episode’s published show notes highlight adapting to changing media habits, getting experienced marketing support, learning from customer reviews, and keeping staff aligned. They also emphasize being ready to handle the calls and questions that marketing can generate.
A starting point for your business
When considering streaming TV advertising, start with a few questions:
- Who do you want to reach, and in which locations?
- What should someone remember about your business?
- What action should they take after seeing your message?
- How will your team respond to inquiries and evaluate results?
Use the answers to guide the creative and campaign plan. Reach and video views can help describe exposure; they should not be treated as proof of new sales.
