eMarketer forecasts<\/a> that ad spending on addressable TV platforms (those which allow buyers to target viewers or households) will constitute 3.7% of total US TV ad spend in 2019, an overall market which is now otherwise in marginal decline.<\/p>\n

If the new technology is going to help restore growth to TV ad revenue, it is going to need to go large.<\/p>\n

In other words, more TV operators are going to need to put more addressable technology in more viewers’ homes.<\/p>\n

But that is a future Marc Cestaro sees coming in to focus.<\/p>\n

The director and addressable lead at GroupM’s dedicated MODI Media<\/a> division, in this video interview with Beet.TV, says: “I think scale comes from different places now. Scale comes from new households lighting up.<\/p>\n

“You have Frontier and Cox joining Xandr and NCC respectively. We can expect some of the older legacy homes to kind of grow from a Comcast standpoint. Their X1 boxes are rolling up, they’re creating more linear insertion.<\/p>\n

“We can expect some new providers, and I think there’s more of a merge coming between the connected and the app space and the networks, to the household addressable. We’ll see some kind of some movement there as well.”<\/p>\n

Stats on US household addressability vary. In December, AT&T’s Xandr was citing 60 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cestaro will speak to the growth of addressable TV at the August 7 Beet.TV industry summit<\/a> hosted by GroupM.<\/p>\n
