But there’s still room to grow and earn proof points. As of now, marketers are eager to see wider progress made in key areas.

THE IMPACT

50% of marketers believe current CTV advertising is effective.

Increasing impact:

CTV needs help, and MNTN is up to the challenge. Their platform uses automated media buying technology to optimize campaigns toward specific performance goals. And their attribution model, called Verified Visits™, lets advertisers know when a viewer sees their CTV ad, then visits their website, and converts. But it gets better — Verified Visits™ are counted only if the viewer visits your site organically or directly after seeing your ad. It only takes credit for website traffic when users haven’t interacted with other media sources. The result? Squeaky clean, deduped data that helps ensure better performance.
