CTV Impressions Rise as Advertisers Fully Embrace the Channel
The world of digital video advertising is evolving at a rapid pace. At ER, we’ve seen a distinct shift in how advertisers reached consumers during the first quarter of 2022, portending a potential year of transition across the market and return to pre-pandemic levels across the media mix. Highlights from the report include:
- At 38% share of impressions, CTV led all other devices in impressions served in Q1, up 23% from the previous quarter’s 31% share of impressions.
- Part of CTV’s bounce-back was the sheer number of advertisers utilizing the channel in Q1. For 67% of our ad serving clients, CTV accounted for between 50 and 100% of the total ad mix.
- An inverse correlation between the share of impressions going to CTV and those going to mobile in-app, is seen in the data. Advertisers who focus heavily on CTV impressions are notably low in mobile in-app and those who devote a smaller share to CTV are notably high in impressions on mobile-app.
- Mobile in-app impressions have been steadily increasing since Q1 of 2021, rising from 22% to 26% in Q1 2022, a change of 18%.
Highlights for full year 2021 are included in the press release.
