- 7:19recent
- 7:20IAB

- 7:25reason.
- 7:25But
- 7:26the
- 7:26iab,
- 7:27the
- 7:27International
- 7:27Advertising
- 7:28Bureau,
- 7:29I
- 7:29think
- 7:29it's
- 7:29International
- 7:29Advertising
- 7:30Bureau.
- 7:30I'm
- 7:30not
- 7:31exactly
- 7:31sure.
- 7:31You
- 7:31probably
- 7:32know
- 7:32that
- 7:32better
- 7:32than
- 7:32I
- 7:32do,
- 7:33but.
- 7:33But
- 7:33they
- 7:33said
- 7:33that
- 7:33ad
- 7:34buyers
- 7:34expect
- 7:3547%
- 7:36of
- 7:37CTV
- 7:37inventory
- 7:38to
- 7:38be
- 7:38biddable
- 7:38this
- 7:39year.
- 7:39That's
- 7:39up
- 7:39from
- 7:3934%
- 7:40in
- 7:402024.
- 7:41So
- 7:42there's
- 7:42still
- 7:42a
- 7:42lot
- 7:42of
- 7:43room
- 7:43to
- 7:43grow
- 7:43there.
- 7:44And
- 7:44when
- 7:44buying
- 7:45CTV
- 7:45programmatically,
- 7:4641%
- 7:47of
- 7:47buyers
- 7:47also
- 7:48believe

- 7:49better
- 7:49return
- 7:50on
- 7:50investment
- 7:51and
- 7:51ad
- 7:51spend.
- 7:52And
- 7:5235%
- 7:53expect
- 7:53it
- 7:53to

- 7:56So
- 7:56that's
- 7:56where
- 7:56things
- 7:56are
- 7:57going.
- 7:57And
- 7:58if

- 8:01profit
- 8:02is

- 8:04So
- 8:04this
- 8:04whole
- 8:04move
- 8:05just
- 8:05supercharges
- 8:06that
