CTV vs OTT vs Addressable TV vs Linear TV vs Non-Linear TV

Connected TV

Connected TV, or CTV, refers to any TV that can be connected to the internet. CTV is an internet-connected device a customer uses to watch TV/video content online. It could be a smart TV, gaming console, or some other sort of internet-connected device. CTV includes household and device-specific targeting capabilities.




OTT [Over-the-top]


OTT stands for “Over The Top” and refers to any streaming service that delivers content over the internet. 


OTT is a common term used for gadgets and services that are used to stream videos, ads, and other digital content to the television (or computer, smartphones, and tablets/ipads). These devices are known as OTT devices and are the medium through which the streaming process happens.


The rise of Connected TV [CTV] and OTT [Over the top] has led to the phenomenon known as “cord-cutting,” which is the growing trend of customers canceling their traditional cable and satellite subscriptions in favor of only using these streaming or VOD formats. 


Addressable TV


Addressable TV works very differently from traditional TV advertising. Instead of selecting a network or program to advertise on, you select the household that you want to see your ads. You can choose your audience based on geographic location, demographics, or viewing habits.

Linear TV

Linear TV refers to a classic system when a viewer watches a scheduled TV program when it airs on its original channel. The viewer can watch content through an antenna or by paying for a cable or satellite subscription

Non-linear TV

These ads are overlaying the video content. Non-linear media is a form of audiovisual media that can be interacted with by the viewer, such as by selecting television shows to watch through a video on demand type service, by playing a video game, by clicking through a website, or by interacting through social media.

Nonlinear ads appear alongside video content, running concurrently without disrupting content playback. While we focus here on video ads, these can also take the form of text or overlays deployed directly over the main content stream, product placements within the content video itself, and so on



Addressable TV - ATV Advertising

Addressable TV is different than normal TV. Ads are targeted based on household-level data and segmentation to serve ads during TV programming. You used to see cereal ads in the morning while watching the morning news. 

Addressable TV is the ability to serve different ad content to different audience segments watching the same TV program on IPTV set-top boxes or connected TV sets, based on specific audience targeting.

With addressable TV, you and your friend could both be watching the morning news on the same channel.  However, your TV shows you an ad for mobile, because you have been searching for new mobile in online. While your neighbor is served an ad for Movie tickets based on their online and offline data.




Why is TV addressable?

Addressable TV advertising is the ability to show different ads to different households while they are watching the same program. With the help of addressable advertising, advertisers can move beyond large-scale traditional TV ad buys, to focus on relevance and impact.

Addressable tv benefits

Addressable TV takes the tons of data that TV content providers collect and grants advertisers access to much more specific audiences. Demographic, geographic, behavioral and more complex data-matching through satellite, cable and IPTV delivery systems are just some of the ways targeting can be drastically improved.

Basic terms in advertising

1. Impressions

This used to be a term more appreciated, which means how many times a user saw your ad or banner or any online advertisement. Each time your ad has been viewed counts as an impression.

2. CPM (Cost per mille)

Commonly used measurement in advertising !!
CPM is also called as CPT i.e cost per thousand , which means we need to pay cost on every 1000 impressions.
Example : If CPM is $10 , it means cost of 1000 impression is $10 .

3. CTR (Click Through Rate)

How many users that saw your ad have clicked on it too and visited your website or landing page.
The Click Through Rate is calculated as Clicks / Impressions.
Example : Let’s say your ad reached 100 impressions, and 10 users also clicked on the ad, it means your CTR is 10%. If CTR value is high the campaign performance was good.

4. Conversion (Action)

Once a user saw your ad, clicked on it and visited your website or any landing page and does any action like buying of any product or registers or downloads depending upon the which action has been considered as conversion for that campaign , a conversion is calculated.

5. Call for Action

It’s the most important for the user to take any action.Call for Action is what drives the users to interact with your campaign. Depending on the goals that the advertiser set for the campaign, the Call for Action may be: Request a quote, download a brochure, sign up for a newsletter, and of course- buy a product or book a room online. (CPA values calculated as fixed value OR based on the product value.

6. CPL ( Cost per Lead) / CPA (Cost per Acquisition) / Cast per action

It’s the cost spending on clicks / conversion .
Example :  Let’s say your ad drew 100 clicks at 100$, and you achieved 10 Conversions, then you CPL / CPA is 10$.

The lower the CPL/CPA value , means good is the conversion rate.

7. ROI (Return on Investment)

The best example to understand ROI is :
Let’s say you are promoting your restaurant and the Call for Action is booking online reservation for dinner. You already know that your profit from every guest is 10$. In that case, if the CPA is 8$, which means you spent 8$ advertising money to get a reservation, than your ROI is positive, because you have 2$ profit on every reservation.

8. CPC (Cost per click)

Just like CPM , CPC is also a measurement used in online advertising , the only difference is this cost is based on clicks and not impressions . If any user is shown the Ad but he doesn’t clicks on it their won’t be any cost effect as the cost is based on clicks only.
Example : If CPC is $5 , it means every click costs $5 so 20 clicks than it will cost us $100.

*Also , consider a campaign where payment is based on impressions, not clicks. Impressions are sold for $10 CPM with a click-through rate (CTR) of 2%.

1000 impressions x 4% CTR = 40 click-throughs
$10 CPM / 40 click-throughs = $.25 per click.

9. CPA (Cost per acquisition)/cost per action

CPA measures the advertiser’s per conversion cost from start to finish, from the inclusion to the search engine results to creating interesting landing pages that grab the attention of the visitor. This means cost per acquisition measures how much it costs in advertising to convert one person from a visitor to a client for the company.

Action can be different for different campaigns , like for some registration is set as a conversion and for some the buying of any product i.e when a user reaches the ‘Thank you page’ or may be downloading anything from the client’s page or "Thanks for booking"

10. CPE (Cost per Engagement)

A new measure of performance in online advertising. After CPM, CPC and CPA we have this CPE which has no relation with impression but only with the engagement i.e when any user engages with the brand content.
This measure actually differentiates between quantity and quality.
Engagement can be defined as a user interacting with an ad in any number of ways, including viewing, sharing, voting, commenting, reviewing, playing a game , etc.

CPE campaigns are mainly video campaigns as it initiates used to engage with the creative.

11. CPL (Cost per Lead)

Once the user fills the detail , a lead is counted !

How to do Facebook Ads right (or, the best £100 you’ll spend this month)

Everyone should advertise on Facebook. Everyone. There are over 1 billion active (and growing) Facebook users. That’s 1/7th of the world’s population. And a significant chunk of your (anyone’s) target audience, all using a website that allows for wonderfully specific targeting. 

But running Facebook ad campaigns can be confusing – Facebook change their policies, there’s a myriad of options for how to structure a campaign, how best to target an audience, how to exclude people you don’t want to target … on and on. What we need is a simple run down of how to do Facebook ads right. Here’s how I would spend my first £100 on Facebook ads: 

Firstly though, it’s worth noting a few things up front: 

Online advertising requires patience. Usually, there are no ‘quick wins’. It can take months to hone your offer, your content and your target market. Give it time, continually adjust based on the results, and be prepared to move on if it’s not working for you. 

If Facebook ads work for you, be prepared to pile into it. Facebook gives you great control over who you target and how much you spend doing it. You’ll want to be measuring your return on the ads – and if they’re working, be prepared to quickly divert funds from other less profitable sources.


But look out for decay. Online ad performance will decline over time. A campaign that works well for you will slowly stop working. Pay attention to the point at which it’s performance drops below your level of expectation for that campaign, and refresh it. 

It’s all about the money. High click through rates are nice. It’s great to have an ad that sends a lot of people to your goal. But if you’re not converting those people (financially, or into email subs, or whatever conversion metric you use) then you’re wasting your money. And it’s all about the money.
