As the marketplace becomes more saturated and competitive, direct-to-consumer (DTC) marketers are under an increased amount of pressure to prove the effectiveness of their campaigns – leaving them to explore new media channels to drive results for their brands and reach new audiences.
David Zapletal, Chief Operating Officer, was featured in The Drum discussing the benefits of connected TV (CTV) as a new media channel for DTC brands to improve campaign performance. Here’s a look at what he shared:
Many of the reasons why DTCs are increasingly upping their CTV investments are straightforward—even intuitive. DTCs, from already doing so much business digitally, have access to the first-party data that enables efficient CTV targeting.
CTV is high-quality media, with low levels of fraud relative to many other digital channels and with 100% viewable inventory. They can use similar KPIs in CTV that they use in online campaigns – online conversions, site visits, and the like. And they can target very specifically, allowing them all the benefits of consumers’ engagement with the TV screen without dealing with the cost of reaching all viewers of a program via linear. DTCs are seeing the value of developing compelling creative for CTV and shifting spend to maximize their budget.
CTV allows marketers to define outcomes and choose a sophisticated attribution model – a custom attribution window allows brands to define their conversion window, methodology (for example, first- and last-touch, and more advanced methods like linear and time decay), and KPIs. From there, they can optimize towards the interactions that drive performance – and effectively measure real-world actions that were driven by the campaign.
When making a push into CTV, DTC marketers need to consider the metrics and outcomes that are important to them and understand where and how to get insights on those metrics and outcomes. CTV offers exceptionally broad insights to help meet DTC marketers’ unique goals. Impressions and video completion rates (VCR) don’t tell the whole story of a campaign. Marketers need to track user actions throughout the entire marketing funnel. CTV advanced reporting measures valuable bottom-funnel actions, including site visits, online purchases, in-store visits, app downloads, and more – not just brand lift and awareness.
CTV isn’t simply the next emerging channel for DTC marketers to explore—it’s a powerful channel that can drive performance metrics where previously “tried and true” channels aren’t cutting it and can inform cross-platform campaign optimization.

Search and social platforms, like Meta and Google, have set a high bar for campaign performance expectations. There are hundreds of emerging direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands in every product category, so how can smaller brands stand out? Many small and startup companies are turning to OTT/CTV advertising as a performance channel to drive real-world actions.
Ben Brenner, VP of Business Development & Strategy, was recently featured in Toolbox Marketing Magazine, where he shared some tips for small and startup advertisers looking to try out OTT/CTV advertising to grow their business.
Reusing spots produced for social is a great way to extend those resources and your spend. Instead of spending big bucks on production for OTT creative, brands can put that money toward buying more media.
More providers have converted their taxonomies to be CTV compatible, leveraging IP addresses or DSP IDs. From viewership data to purchase and search history data, browser history data to location visitation data—segments using each of these collection points can be leveraged on your OTT campaigns. Don’t forget about your data—nothing is more potent than first-party data.
For brands looking toward CTV as a performance channel, it is imperative to find a vendor or platform that offers complete transparency into what’s being bought and how, what’s being measured and how, and exactly how that measurement gets put to work—a partner who can put it all together.

As invalid traffic (IVT) and ad fraud increases in scope and sophistication, it has become increasingly difficult for advertisers and agencies to ensure that their ad dollars are being spent on their desired audiences—i.e. real people in search of products or services. According to recent studies, about $42b in revenue opportunities is lost each year due to bots and fake users. To provide the highest possible level of campaign security across media channels for our clients and help ensure every ad impression we serve is validated and delivered on high-quality, fraud-free inventory sources, Digital Remedy collaborates with Oracle Moat.
By integrating Oracle Moat’s brand safety and verification technology, Digital Remedy has successfully driven down IVT rates and increased viewability rates, consistently outperforming industry benchmarks quarter-over-quarter. With low fraud rates, Digital Remedy continues to hit client KPIs, especially on conversion-based campaigns, which has led to an overall increase in renewal rates among clients. Additionally, our team is able to access historical campaign performance to inform (and improve) current and future media strategies.
“With Oracle Moat, Digital Remedy is able to provide an unmatched level of confidence and trust by helping to ensure ads are served by real publishers, shown to real audiences, and clients are only paying for real conversions—effectively driving desired results among target consumers, whether it be an increase in site traffic or sales.” -Kevin Jones, VP of Media Buying
Recent shifts towards OTT/CTV have resulted in an increased demand for (and investment in) these media channels. As many advertisers are setting viewability as a primary/secondary KPI, all are hyper-focused on the importance of delivering campaigns on fraud-free, IVT-free inventory. In early 2020, we expanded our work with Oracle Moat to include OTT/CTV environments, which allows us to proactively identify IVT in these environments, which had previously been difficult—if not impossible—to do. With Oracle Moat as a brand safety partner, we are able to mitigate the risk of fraudulent activity—identifying and rooting out new methods of IVT to stop ad fraud at the source—and ensure client ad spend is not wasted on fake users.
In today’s increasingly complex and fragmented ad space, it is critical for marketers to work with a trusted partner that has the experience, knowledge, scale, and ability to identify and block new threats as they emerge. Our work with Oracle Moat allows us to remain a leading media partner in the ad tech space thanks to our innovative ad solutions for verification, attention, and brand safety. We are excited to expand our collaboration further and strengthen our offering to continue to protect our clients across even more media types. To learn more, speak to a member of our team.
With its precise targeting and direct attribution capabilities, OTT/CTV advertising has become a powerful new performance-based opportunity for marketers. As more and more brands have discovered the potential to effectively reach high-value audiences and measure return on ad spend (ROAS), spending on OTT/CTV advertising has skyrocketed and is expected to surge 40% this year to over $14.4b—more than doubling by 2024 to nearly $30b.
With precision targeting and deterministic measurement, performance CTV provides a unique opportunity for marketers to reach highly-engaged audiences. But for marketers who are new to the channel, especially those who are more familiar with linear TV, OTT/CTV might feel a bit disorienting. Our own, Ben Brenner, VP of Business Development & Strategy, was recently featured in Street Fight Magazine, where he discussed some tips for getting started and how to fully maximize your performance CTV strategy. Here’s an overview of what he had to say:
Unlike linear TV, where an ad buy will stay in rotation for a fixed period of time, CTV buys can (and should be) much more dynamic, fluid, and iterative. With CTV, it’s much easier to launch, adjust, and optimize targeting throughout your campaign’s flight.
With CTV, you can use first-party data to target both existing and prospective customers in a variety of ways, including using your CRM list to target existing customers with new product launches, excluding existing users to reach only new audiences for prospecting campaigns, and using known user data to surface look-a-like consumers to connect with new high-value prospects.
There is a huge variety of third-party data sources available that can help to target ads on CTV, including data on purchases, viewership, search and browser history, location, in-store visits, and more.
With CTV, you can get full attribution visibility—when someone makes a purchase, you can look back to see which ad they saw on what platform, during which program, and at what time of day. By understanding this sequence and the attributes of every ad exposure, not just the last one, marketers can fine-tune ad targeting and delivery to maximize conversions and identify new users who are most likely to convert.
Look for a partner who can offer both first- and third-party data integrations, directly access a wide variety of streaming publishers, and provide both attribution tracking and real-time optimization, with complete transparency into the process so there are no surprises.

While U.S. ad spend on CTV is expected to reach $18.29b by 2024, direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands have been much slower to make the move—with most continuing to allocate the majority of their budget to social and search, their longtime go-to channels for customer acquisition.
Product Insights Marketing Manager, Brittany Paril, recently discussed why there’s never been a better time for DTC marketers to invest in the CTV/OTT space—and why working with a trusted, experienced media partner is crucial. Here’s a look at the top reasons CTV/OTT is a beneficial part of the media mix and the unique opportunities it provides DTC marketers:
CTV/OTT doesn’t suffer the same trust issues as social, making it more likely that viewers will interact with ads given the high-quality, lean-in format of these channels.
While the social and search spaces have become saturated, CTV/OTT provides a much broader selection of devices, platforms, and channels for DTC brands to reach audiences on.
Just as DTC customers want the curated, personalized experience they get from their favorite DTC brands, CTV/OTT advertising provides advertisers the same capability for reaching the right audience—offering various targeting levers that they can activate based on their specific goals.
With the right data partner, DTC brands can measure the specific actions (site visits/purchases, store visits, app downloads, etc.) users take as a result of being exposed to the brand’s OTT ad.
CTV/OTT gives them an opportunity to differentiate their brand in a relatively untapped market. Because this channel is still relatively undiscovered by most DTC brands, it’s a prime opportunity to grab the attention of this valuable audience before your competitors do.

In today’s fragmented media landscape, attribution is an increasingly valuable tool for advertisers. Recent growth in both consumption and investment in streaming video has prompted digital advertisers to focus on optimizing advertising efforts. Digital Remedy has partnered with leading geospatial and mobility intelligence company Cuebiq, to unlock real-time insights and measure the true impact of client campaigns, specifically on CTV/OTT channels.
Through this strategic partnership, Digital Remedy provides clients with a full understanding of the consumer journey—from first touch to store visit—and allows them to activate against learnings from this journey to maximize their return on ad spend. Using mobile location data from Cuebiq, Digital Remedy’s proprietary performance CTV platform, Flip, directly connects CTV ad impressions to lift in foot traffic to physical store locations—tracking full-funnel KPIs, including brand, visit, and revenue lift, and displaying real-time campaign insights within an easy-to-read dashboard.
“TV has always been thought of as purely an upper-funnel, branding play. With Flip, we’re able to challenge that notion, and with our Cuebiq partnership, we’re able to connect real-world store traffic to those large format impressions. We’re able to let retailers know, definitively, that someone was exposed to their CTV ad and then visited their location. We’ve set our sights on treating CTV like performance media—driving real-world results, not just views.”
