NIELSEN ADVANCED Video ADVERTISING
The way consumers watch and define TV is evolving as quickly as the world around it. Now more than ever it’s important to be efficient and transparent in the way we transact, target and facilitate the real-time insertions of advertising across the TV glass.
Addressable TV Advertising Ready for Primetime
According to Nielsen TV Panel data, 53% of U.S. households have an enabled smart TV today, and this number is growing — experiencing a 12% increase since 2019. With this surge in consumer adoption, smart TVs are a leading platform to address the blurring lines of TV and addressable advertising, at scale.
Linear TV reaches 80% of TV watching adults in the U.S. according to the Nielsen Total Audience Report, but marketers are looking for a more flexible, data-driven solution to capitalize on this volume and deliver more tailored, relevant advertising to their most desired audiences. Nielsen is working across the media workflow, from smart TV manufacturers to programmers to advertisers to the consumer, to tie together the unique elements of digital—targeting, precision and automation—with the benefits of traditional TV—quality, engagement with consumers, and trustworthy reach for advertisers.
