CTV, several open questions and observations I have about 'discoverability'. ⭕ How big could the CTV app ecosystem actually become? ⭕ How will audiences search? via a remote, voice or mobile phone? ⭕ How might the CTV 'paid search' ecosystem evolve? ⭕ The cost of promoting CTV apps may become so high, that many publishers just try to get into the growing OEM FAST/EPG service instead. ⭕ How might AI help to curate bespoke personal channels, reducing the friction of lengthy CTV search, and helping to drive discoverability of new content? 🔴 Very quickly, the CTV OEM home screen could become the most valuable real estate in TV advertising, delivering instant discoverability. I think this topic of 'search and discoverability' is going to be such an interesting area to watch evolve in CTV. Search is now intuitive in other channels, and CTV is still on this journey, evolving quickly with every OS update and new OEM product line shipped.

2023 was a tough year for video streaming, with churn rates nearing 50%. Ad-funded models seem like a solution, but our research shows consumers still prefer SVOD over AVOD services. The conclusion: Lowering prices isn't enough; a stellar user experience is crucial. Accedo.tv's survey of 2,000 global consumers reveals: 🔹 Subscription services still lead: 49% of respondents subscribe to 2-3 paid services, while only 11% use three AVOD services. 🔹 Price matters: 42% expect AVOD services to be 30-50% cheaper than subscriptions. Less than a quarter think these should be free. 🔹 Ad experience challenges: Repetitive ads and poorly timed interruptions are major annoyances. Only 13% are most irritated by irrelevant ads. Want to learn about what these figures mean and how to translate them into smart AVOD strategies?
