Your multi-touch attribution report says Paid Search earned 40% of last quarter’s conversion credit. Paid Social took 35%. CTV claimed 10%, and the rest scattered across display and audio.

By Brittany Paril / April 27, 2026

In connected TV (CTV), few metrics get as much attention or drive as many decisions as CTV CPM. Every media buyer knows a low-teens CPM and a high-$20s CPM aren’t buying the same thing.
