Reach Prospective Customers with OTT Advertising in Los Angeles
Quantifi Digital is the name you need to know about if you're interested in reaching your audience in Los Angeles. While traditional TV ads were once the best way to get your name out there, modern viewing habits have established Over-The-Top (OTT) options such as streaming platforms and mobile apps as viable and even superior alternatives. Nearly 200,000,000 people are expected to enjoy OTT content this year: an audience that is simply too large to ignore. Please continue reading to learn more about OTT advertising in Los Angeles.
What is CTV?
Viewers who enjoy streaming content on a big screen are said to be using Connected TV, or CTV for short. From a consumer's perspective, it's easy to see why CTV is so popular: ad breaks are shorter, and you get more control over what you watch and when you watch it. For advertisers, CTV is more of a mixed bag. There are so many options today that nothing has the reach cable once enjoyed, and some digital advertising agencies in Los Angeles are struggling to adapt to the new paradigm.
At Quantifi Digital, we embrace the new landscape because we recognize all of the advantages it offers marketers. While CTV ad breaks are shorter, individual ads are typically unskippable. The combination forces viewers to stick around for your entire message or else miss part of the program they're watching. As a result, we regularly see very high completion rates and in-view rates of 100 percent in our campaigns.
Over-The-Top ads can also be targeted to a specific audience more effectively than a traditional TV spot. While you have to place traditional TV commercials during a program you think your intended audience is likely to watch, we can use first- and third-party information to serve ads to consumers who meet your income, lifestyle, and other demographic needs. For instance, 22 percent of CTV viewers are 55 or older. Cord-cutting isn't commonly associated with this demographic, so OTT advertising directly to them can be a good way to differentiate yourself as a marketer.

How much does it cost to advertise on TV in Los Angeles?
We understand that no two businesses have the exact same marketing needs, so we offer a variety of options that include a strong emphasis on delivering value for your advertising dollar. For example, we don't have any of the monthly minimums other companies use so even smaller budgets can access premium inventory. We also focus exclusively on the buy-side of the equation, so you never have to worry about our selling inventory to ourselves instead of where it could make the biggest impact.
