Silverpush Unveils Pre-Bid Brand Safety and Contextual CTV Segments | 21 Mar, 2025

The CTV ad market is booming: global CTV ad spending is estimated to reach $30 billion this year and more than 80% of US households are using CTV devices. The biggest channel for CTV streaming is YouTube, followed by Netflix and Hulu. Completion rates for ads are high and an increasing number of ad-supported channels and apps allow advertisers to segment and run campaigns based on first-party data from CTV platforms.
There’s one catch: with so many channels and so many shows, 80% of advertisers are concerned about where their ads end up running on CTV environments. You can’t always be sure that your ads are going to be brand-safe or relevant to the content.
Especially if the channel runs a lot of potentially risky shows in the first place. Brands and agencies often decide to cut entire apps or channels from their CTV media plan. But this sacrifices engagement and reach at the price of brand safety.
