TV’s Changing Landscape: Streaming, Targeting & Tech-Savvy Solutions

During a time of rapid tech advancement, the future of television advertising continues to evolve.

This year marks a significant milestone as digital video is expected to surpass linear ad spend for the first time, reflecting a major shift in the media landscape.  The rise of streaming services provides advertisers with an opportunity to better target and reach specific audiences; leveraging data-driven insights to tailor messages that more accurately resonate with an audience. And incorporate some AI technology into the mix for even greater precision.

Of course this surge in ad-supported viewing options is not without challenges. With so many platforms and channels but still no standardized measurement, how are video marketers capturing audiences’ not so undivided attention? Is consumer behavior after an ad impression similar across all screen types? And how are media planners deciphering cross-channel attribution, and optimizing and validating spend?

Consumers today also expect more from their viewing experiences. It’s no longer sufficient to broadcast generic ads; brands must craft innovative, personalized messages and content that truly engage with consumers where, when and how they want to view it. It’s not just about reaching more screens, but recognizing opportunities to better connect with more audiences throughout their journey. At MediaPost’s fall TV & Video Summit we'll dive into how marketers are combatting today’s fragmented landscape, leveraging AI, and adapting to today’s dynamic media environment.

We will Explore:

- Media planning and measurement across all channels; TV, commerce, performance, digital, etc.
- Tracking and quantifying video impact
- Ad opportunities in e-sports and gaming
- RMN video ad opportunities
- Shoppable ads and video commerce
- Cultural shifts and sports streaming impact
- AI driven strategies for content creation and optimization
- Emerging forms of media; i.e. metaverse, live-streaming, shoppable
- Produce and optimize creator content across media channels
- Non-traditional ad formats; i.e. interactive and immersive experiences, storytelling, creatives, and more.

Axe Throwing at Urban Axes

Join fellow summit attendees at Urban Axes for a fun afternoon. The sport of axe throwing was invented about 5 minutes after the first axe was created, however it was traditionally undertaken in the outdoors, far away from urban environments. Our aim is to take axe throwing out of the woods and into the bright lights of the big city, by presenting you with ... Urban Axe Throwing!

Experience the scenic and beautiful Austin from the unique perspective of your kayak on this 2-hour tour.  Paddle along and discover some of Austin's great landmarks, including Barton Springs, the Congress Avenue Bridge (famous for its 2 million bats), the Stevie Ray Vaughan statue, and the Austin boardwalk. The tour is a mix of history, new landmarks in the expanding Austin skyline and we also include a little information about the wildlife in the area.

Brewery Tour

Join fellow summit attendees aboard Austin’s only concert on wheels! The Twisted Texas Tour bus features a local band riding on board, providing the jams for a good time as we visit THREE local breweries. At each of the breweries, they will serve up local craft brews.
