Our relationship with television is always evolving, with the biggest change being the major shift towards streaming in recent years. In their 2023 Annual Marketing Report, Nielsen found that Americans watched 19 million years worth of streaming content in 2022.
Whew! That is a TON of content!
Let's take a look at some key insights from the report that advertisers will want to know about.
Now is a great time to invest in OTT advertising.
Despite economic uncertainty, global ad budgets are leaning into Connected TV (CTV) and Over the Top (OTT).
Specifically, Nielsen says there will be at least a 5% increase in OTT and CTV advertising budgets. “The increased spend across online video reflects audiences’ shift to streaming in particular.” Nielsen also warns that under-spending in these areas could suppress your ROI for the future.

Omni-channel measurement is imperative to a successful campaign.
It’s time for our industry to reimagine the way we measure digital marketing success. We believe that a multi-platform approach to a digital campaign yields better results.

Our media buyers at Left Hand Agency use multiple tools to help track the entire conversion process from beginning to end, so you’ll always be able to track each unique customer journey, no matter your goal.
Effective reach depends on quality audience data.
