ANA Connected TV/OTT Members Only Conference presented by BrightLine

This event is over.

In today's media landscape, TV still dominates video and advertising, but the way viewers watch TV has changed via the internet. Connected TV means that a television is somehow connected to the internet, including Smart TVs where the connection is built into the TV, or any IP-connected over-the-top (OTT) device/box like Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Xbox, PlayStation, Apple TV, or Android TV. The number of connected TV users and their viewing appetites are growing rapidly as both TV programmers and web publishers alike are increasingly launching their content over the top (OTT) to connected TV, combining the best of both TV and digital. This presents a huge opportunity for marketers.

This complimentary ANA members only conference, presented by BrightLine, will feature groundbreaking case studies and lessons learned from other marketers and industry experts in this constantly evolving space! This event is crucial for any marketer seeking to navigate their brands through the transformative landscape of connected TV/OTT.

COMSCORE & HULU: REACHING MILLENNIALS ACROSS PLATFORMS

Audiences of video streaming services have been rapidly shifting away from desktops and moving to connected or OTT devices such as gaming consoles, Roku and smart TVs to watch non-linear video. What has been great for consumers, however, has proven to be a challenge for the media industry in terms of measuring these audiences across multiple platforms. To solve this problem, Hulu partnered with Comscore to measure their audience to discover where the highly coveted audience of the future, millennials, is consuming content. In this session, Hulu and Comscore will uncover rich insights on how millennials are utilizing multiple platforms and how marketers can capitalize on this opportunity.
