Navigating the Digital Advertising Landscape

My guest on this week's episode is James Borow, the Vice President of Product and Engineering at Comcast's new Universal Ads effort, which was introduced this January. James was previously the Global Director of Product Strategy at Snap.

The topic of our conversation is the evolving TV advertising ecosystem. Among other things, we discuss:

1. The current state of performance advertising on TV;
2. The historical process of buying linear TV advertising inventory;
3. The boundaries between CTV and linear TV advertising;
4. How advertisers approach measurement with CTV;
5. Where YouTube fits into the CTV space;
6. What linear TV can do to provide performance capabilities to marketers;
7. The demographics of TV that make it attractive to marketers.
