Quote from Justin Evans – Global Head of Analytics and Insights @ Samsung Ads:
“What this suggests, from an advertiser perspective, is a major challenge that they have one slice of the population that is highly accessible in a linear format. And they have another much larger chunk of the population that seems to be better accessed through streaming. We think it’s posing a challenge to advertisers who more assertively manage their linear and streaming together as a way to accomplish holistic reach,”
