Because of the pandemic, advertisers have been interested in using connected TV for the past two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 72 percent of households use a smart TV to watch Connected TV, as more people stay at home and work from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It used to be difficult for small businesses to get into CTV (Connected TV) advertising. Getting started with CTV is now easier than ever thanks to technological advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, YouTube partnered with Nielsen Digital Ad Ratings for easier measurement alongside other media to help you invest in CTV with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investing in a new platform can be a risky business. “Later this year, YouTube CTV and YouTube TV will be available in Nielsen Total Ad Ratings (TAR) in the United States,” Google said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
