Dec - JanMedia & Entertainment6Managing EditorPamela MorganEditorial StaffSalesDerek James Frank CollinsJem ElizabethShirley FaithVisualizerJohnJames Christiejames@mediaentertainmenttechoutlook.comOver-the-top (OTT) content distribution has grown tremendously in the last decade, allowing consumers to watch their favorite shows and films via the internet instead of a linear connection (cable or satellite). Since the introduction of OTT services, our viewing habits have changed drastically. Thanks to OTT technology, viewers can now watch sports, movies, news, and other streaming material everywhere they have an internet connection, whether it's on their phones, tablets, computers, or connected TVs (CTVs). OTT can potentially transform the way viewers watch video entertainment in the future and how advertisers reach their audiences through what they watch now.Viewers increasingly see ads for local companies and services when using OTT platforms. Geographic targeting OTT channels are possible regardless of the viewer's IP address or even their mobile device's location data. This differs from linear TV, which can only target its adverts based on a market zone. In the future, performance-based pricing systems on OTT ads will increase their appeal to marketers due to this focused strategy that allows advertisers to make their commercials far more successful. Further, the future of advertising will include interactive ads. Interactive commercials are a significant advantage of devices like smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs. An ad on linear TV won't let viewers interact, but a connected TV device will let them. Ad interactivity will become even more valuable for advertisers as entertainment moves to these smart devices in the future.This edition of Media and Entertainment Tech Outlook brings you the story of some of the most promising OTT solution providers that deliver the best outcomes for their clients.
