Deep dives
Growth of Small Advertisers in Streaming
The share of streaming ad revenues from small and mid-sized companies is expected to expand significantly. Streaming platforms are increasingly offering self-serve ad options, which makes it easier for smaller advertisers to buy inventory. This shift is essential for growth, as relying solely on big brands limits potential revenue. The strategy reflects practices seen in digital services like YouTube and Facebook, indicating a trend toward 'YouTube-ification' of streaming ad spend.
