Exploring innovative advertising strategies? Look no further than hot dogs! 🌭 Our latest blog by our Marketing Insights Manager John Bonanno dives into one of America's most nostalgic 4th of July traditions: Nathan’s Famous hot dog eating contest in Coney Island, and how understanding viewer behaviors can be extremely beneficial for advertisers. According to our ACR data, almost 1 in 10 hot dog contest watchers hadn’t watched ESPN in the previous three months, suggesting they tuned in specifically for the hot dogs! This presents a great opportunity for advertisers who don't traditionally advertise on ESPN to reach a unique audience.📺 https://hubs.ly/Q02DTwYw0

And that's a wrap on an incredible week in Cannes! 🌴😎 The highlight this week was meeting with our clients, partners, and industry leaders in person. Our industry is full of smart, passionate, and creative people, and weeks like this really showcase that. Top Takeaways from Cannes: 👉CTV is TV Now! Our discussions emphasized that CTV is a top priority. While fragmentation remains a challenge, advertisers and content publishers are beginning to embrace the multidimensionality that CTV and Smart TVs offer, such as Home Screen, Pause ads, and the opportunities FAST channels bring. 👉Progress in Data Privacy Technology: It was evident this week that we have made significant advancements in data privacy technology. Securing how we share data in a privacy-safe way is now facilitating more conversation and creativity. 👉AI Integration: AI is no longer just a concept. Conversations were focused on how to implement and integrate AI into our processes rather than what AI will do for us in the future. Thank you again to our amazing partners, clients, and industry leaders for taking the time to meet with us and a big shout out to our amazing team, especially the events team, Xhemile Poley and Ryan Casucci for managing all the details that made this an event a success! Until next time.. Au revoir! #Cannes2024 #CTV #streaming #advertising
