Many things changed over the last year and the accelerated shift of consumers moving from linear to streaming TV was an undeniable trend. However, dealerships have been slow to adapt to this rapid change in viewing behavior. As more audiences cut the cord and adopt ad-supported streaming platforms due to their premium content offerings, flexible viewing options and lower subscription costs, dealers need to capitalize on this opportunity to drive significant incremental reach and maximize their budget.
Join Matt Mendez, Director of Client Development from The Trade Desk, Brian Kroll, VP of Sales and Strategic Accounts and Dan Maynard, Western Regional Director-Auto from Adtaxi as they discuss why this opportunity shouldn’t be overlooked for your brand as well as optimization strategies that increase performance and reduce wasted ad spend.
