Is Precision Possible? Making CTV Measure Up

9:30 am ET | Venue: Virtual

Goodbye channel surfing, hello app scrolling. During the pandemic boom in streaming and smart TVs, Connected TV (CTV) has gone from an emerging channel to a leading one. And as always, where audiences go, advertisers do, too. But the CTV space is crowded and complex, making it hard to target audiences with precision and to know if your performance is really moving the needle on business goals. Join in as we discuss how advances in CTV planning, data, and measurement are helping brands and advertisers make the most out of the medium to maximize reach and results.

“It Takes A Village” - How Brands Can Embed DEI Into Their DNA

1:30 pm ET | Venue: Virtual

“It Takes A Village” is a communal and cultural reference that acknowledges all of the individuals who have an integral role in cultivating something incredible. The foundation of DEI is in the ability to amplify diverse stories, talent, and voices. Yahoo’s people-first approach not only allows them to prioritize and redefine DEI, but it has embedded it into their core brand DNA by connecting people to their passions. How can other brands create a model that exists beyond the here and the now? We will explore how embedding DEI into your DNA drives growth and creates brand loyalty.
