As CTV becomes an integral part of the way audiences watch TV, it’s increasingly important to understand how users are interacting with this relatively new platform. Video has long been a key medium for communicating a brand’s story and message, and CTV has become the perfect place to combine the big screen and high impact of TV, with more measurable digital channels. However, there has been a lack of research into exactly how the user experience and user behaviour manifests in front of the CTV screen.

Attention is also becoming a key metric through which to assess the impact of your advertising campaign, which is why we wanted to fully understand user attention in CTV and how this compares to viewing on both linear TV and other platforms such as social video.Why do users choose CTV? How do they discover content and how will their usage change as subscription fatigue builds? These are some of the questions that ShowHeroes is looking to answer. View Less
