Brands struggle to navigate the complexities of Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV (FAST) and Connected TV (CTV) environments, hindering their ability to maximize ad spend and achieve desired campaign outcomes. Content owners also face challenges in effectively monetizing their channels with targeted, brand-safe advertisements.
