Fethi’s Tips for Success in CTV

From your experience, what are advertisers most interested in today?

Recently, we’ve seen that advertisers are increasingly focused on audiences over content types and genres. For example, ensuring that a brand’s ads are running during NFL games may be a priority, but leveraging first-party data and targeting NFL watchers throughout the season is equally, if not more, important to them.

What is the value SSPs bring to Fubo?

In my opinion, innovative SSPs are setting themselves apart. An SSP with new, monetizable technology that is two steps ahead of its competition allows us to unlock incremental revenue faster. Being able to onboard new solutions in a turnkey way differentiates SSPs for us at Fubo.

Advertisers are looking for efficient rates, but what additional services can SSPs provide?

Aside from price, SSPs can offer tailored customer service like post-campaign measurement and reporting, industry benchmarking, or other unique insights to strengthen future campaigns. These custom benefits can help an SSP stand out and earn an advertiser’s business.

What’s something unique about Fubo that people may not know?

We believe that if sports fans were to build a streaming service, it would be Fubo. Our platform streams over 55,000 sporting events per year including national sports leagues like NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB plus over 35 regional sports networks across the U.S. We also stream niche sports like pickleball and even cornhole tournaments. Brands today are increasingly interested in women’s sports and local sports, so our ability to deliver both puts us in a unique position to help advertisers reach their target audiences.

While many of our users come to Fubo for sports, they stay for the entertainment. As a full cable TV replacement, Fubo also has a wide range of entertainment content for the entire family in addition to sports.
