Australian Viewers Prefer the CTV Ad Experience Over Linear TV, IAS report finds
SYDNEY, May 25, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Integral Ad Science (Nasdaq: IAS), a global leader in digital media quality, 
today released new research on Connected TV (CTV) trends in Australia( 
https://go.integralads.com/anz-ctv-and-ads-research-2022.html?utm_campaign=AU-CTVV-EML-2022-Q2-CP-EDU-BSSS-CTV-Research-Update&utm_medium=pr&utm_source=press-general&utm_content=video&utm_term=2022-AU-CTV-Ad-Update). 
The report explores how CTV shapes the future of digital content consumption 
among Australian consumers and how they feel about the ad-supported streaming 
experience.

Key highlights from the report advertisers need to know:

-94% of Australian users think there are features of the CTV ad experience that 
make it better than linear TV. The ability to skip ads, fewer ads and shorter 
ads are critical differentiators for Connected TV
-People are streaming with CTV, and most are watching at least some 
ad-supported content with 91% of consumers surveyed saying they stream content 
on CTV and 97% of CTV users have access to a paid subscription to ad-free 
platforms.
-YouTube with ads is the top ad-supported content on CTV, with 73% of consumers 
using their connected TV to watch YouTube with ads.
-53% of consumers say they will view an ad to completion if it is relevant to 
the content they are watching.

"Australian consumers have been quick to embrace CTV and streaming platforms as 
the future of television. They have high expectations for ad relevance in these 
new digital environments," said Jessica Miles, Country Manager ANZ, IAS. "The 
SVOD (Subscription streaming) market in Australia is at saturation point, and 
publishers are pivoting to offer AVOD (Advertiser supported streaming) to 
maintain profitability and retain audiences. The demand from buyers for AVOD on 
CTV is also growing exponentially, fueled by increasing targeting options, 
increased measurement, and CTV's ability to be bought programmatically. 
Combining transparency and programmatic efficiency will allow advertisers to 
reach wide audiences more efficiently and engagingly."

IAS launched the industry's first CTV solution in 2018, providing global 
invalid traffic (IVT) and viewability support for both programmatic and direct 
buys across all apps and providers.
