What Is OTT/CTV Content?
Over-the-top (OTT) Content is website content that is distributed over the internet rather than over more traditional media channels. Some examples would include movies and TV shows streamed on Netflix rather than on cable TV.
OTT/CTV is sometimes distributed free of charge (at least for the consumer). With the rise of smartphones and the affordability of mobile devices and Connected TV, streaming content has become an essential part of everyday life for millions of consumers around the world.
While traditional media like television and radio aren’t going away anytime soon, the truth is that a major shift has occurred in the way that people consume content — and any business that relies on media advertising for driving sales and growing their brand needs to understand this shift and take action to secure their foothold in these evolving patterns of consumer behavior and media distribution.
