Nearly Two-Thirds of Gamers Spend At Least Two Hours a Week Watching Free Ad-Supported Streaming

Business Wire | April 24, 2023 | Read time : 07:00 min

Free Ad-Supported Streaming

LG Ad Solutions, a global leader in connected TV (CTV) and cross-screen advertising, today released the findings of a new study that found that gamers are more likely to watch free, ad-supported streaming (FAST) than all CTV owners, with nearly two-thirds of gamers spending at least two hours a week streaming via FASTs.

Additionally, gamers subscribe to the most subscription streaming services, at a higher rate than CTV owners, over-indexing on Discovery+, Apple TV+, Peacock and Paramount+. In terms of how they consume the content, only about 23% stream through their gaming console while the majority (55%) stream through their smart TV apps.

LG Ad Solutions surveyed more than 700 consumers who owned a connected TV and played console games in March 2023 to explore trends and behaviors related to CTV consumption among U.S. gamers. The study, titled “The Connected Gamer,” also found:

  • The LG Gamer can be easily reached via the TV screen: 78% of LG TV users play video games once a week with 1 in 5 playing every day. 93% of LG Gamers use FAST apps, with 67% actually preferring them. 49% of LG gamers learn about new games via TV/streaming.
  • Women in gaming: Of women who play video games on any connected TV or device, 1 in 5 play every day, with 67% spending 4+ hours gaming per week. In terms of streaming habits, 61% of female gamers prefer streaming free video content with ads, and 45% pay more attention to ads while streaming compared to ads on cable/satellite TV. When it comes to discovering new games, 39% of female gamers find them through TV/streaming.
  • New game discovery: Almost half (42%) of gamers cite streaming ads as a way they discover new games.
  • The majority of CTV owners play video games: 68% of connected TV owners play video games, with 71% playing on mobile devices and 64% using consoles. 25% play on a daily basis, with the average gaming session lasting between 30 minutes and two hours. On average, 30% of gamers play 4-7 hours per week.
  • The second screen opportunity: Gamers are more likely to multitask while watching TV than the average CTV owner, with 53% playing games and 50% shopping while streaming.
  • Gaming is a social activity: 40% of gamers with children play with their kids 1 to 3 times a week and 2 in 5 of all gamers frequently or always play via local co-op on the same console in the same room.
  • Gamers require personalization and relevancy: 80% of gamers prefer seeing ads relevant to their interests, compared to 73% of all CTV users. Similarly, they are more likely to prefer seeing ads that are relevant to the streaming content they are watching (76%) than the average CTV user (63%).
  • Gaming goes beyond young adulthood: The generations with the largest percentage of console gamers are 30-44 (79%), followed by 18-29 (74%) and 45-60 (63%). Older generations also enjoy gaming as 32% of those 60+ play console games.

“Gaming is now a cultural mainstay of consumers, and our latest data shows that CTV is a must-have channel for advertisers looking to reach this large, diverse, and highly engaged audience,” said Tony Marlow, CMO of LG Ad Solutions. "Consumers of all ages spend a significant amount of time with video games on a daily basis, and over index on ad-supported streaming. Gamers have a high propensity to buy, and are keenly aware of relevant streaming ads, so brands have an opportunity to create meaningful connections with precise targeting and creative strategies when connecting with this audience.”

Publica by IAS and Samsung Ads Expand CTV Ad Serving Partnership

PR Newswire | September 21, 2023

Publica, a leading Connected TV (CTV) ad server owned by Integral Ad Science (IAS), today formally announced their renewed global partnership with Samsung Ads, powered by proprietary ACR data, a leading provider of advanced TV advertising solutions to some of the world's biggest brands. This collaboration enables Samsung Ads to enhance its streamed content with a traditional TV-like viewing experience, while maximizing CTV advertising revenue via the introduction of a programmatic unified auction for the premium ad slots within their streamed ad breaks. CTV advertising is escalating rapidly and poised to grow in 2023 to $25.9 billion, according to GroupM's mid-year forecast. Advertisers have programmatic access to Samsung Ads Connected TV (CTV) inventory on Samsung's free ad-supported streaming service, Samsung TV Plus. As a demand agnostic CTV Ad Server, Publica helps global publishers and TV manufacturers deliver a seamless ad experience via the introduction of Server-Side Ad Insertion (SSAI), while also helping publishers maximize revenue by running a unified-auction between multiple SSPs and ad exchanges. Through this relationship with Publica, Samsung Ads is providing advertisers with enhanced buying techniques similar to those of linear TV. This includes competitive separation, frequency management and the ability to purchase the first slot within ad pods – much like standard TV commercial breaks. Key Publica technology products that Samsung Ads has implemented include: Advanced Ad Serving — Samsung Ads has the ability to deliver advanced CTV ad breaks with the granular controls required by advertisers to target, and with the ability to optimize each slot by revenue per second within the pod. Advanced Ad Pod Decisioning — Gives Samsung Ads the ability to guarantee an advertiser first pod placement, and own a pod by brand category, helping with competitive separation and buy side frequency management. Unified Auction — Enables Samsung Ads to run a controlled, unified auction of all demand sources to extract the highest yielding ad per slot in each streaming ad pod. Samsung Ads is also using the Publica 'Live Logs' feature to enable real time transparency into each of the programmatic auctions within which the company's inventory is cleared; this permits Samsung Ads to optimize yield and data strategies in real time to ensure they do not lose demand to supply path optimization (SPO). Publica by IAS has been instrumental recently in helping the IAB Tech Lab to build out the new protocols that bring increased security and targeting to streaming ad breaks via the introduction ofOpenRTB 2.6, and alsoads.cert 2.0 that secures the practice of SSAI. In implementing Publica CTV ad decisioning technology, Samsung Ads can ensure its CTV inventory is being targeted and served in the most secure way possible, providing its advertisers with the controls and transparency they require. "We're excited to renew our partnership with Samsung Ads and provide them with the ad decisioning technology to grow their global advertising revenues and empower Samsung Ads with the ad serving capabilities to improve their streamers' viewing experiences on CTV," said Sean Galligan, CRO, Publica by IAS. "As consumer viewing behaviors continue to rapidly evolve and shift towards streaming, it's critical that our ad serving technology is equally evolved and sophisticated," said Craig Chinn, Vice President, Programmatic, Samsung Ads. "By expanding our successful partnership with Publica, we ensure a high-quality experience for viewers while also delivering advertisers the control and transparency needed to effectively reach CTV audiences."

Clear Channel Outdoor Pioneers Secure First-Party Data Collaboration for Brands to Activate Billboard Campaigns as Part of an Omni-Channel Strategy

PR Newswire | July 12, 2023

Clear Channel Outdoor (NYSE: CCO), one of the world's largest Out-of-Home (OOH) media providers, today announced new partnerships integrating its CCO RADAR® data platform with best-in-class Data Clean Room (DCR) applications and services from Aqfer, Habu, InfoSum and LiveRamp. This next-generation secure data integration revolutionizes first party-data matching for OOH, allowing brands who are already active DCR users, and those who want to plan and measure OOH ad campaigns using their own data, to leverage OOH's scale and creative impact in a privacy-conscious and secure way. Increasingly used by digital advertisers for the last few years, Data Clean Rooms are secure environments where data from various sources are connected, analyzed and activated while adhering to strict privacy and compliance standards. With the integration of DCR into its CCO RADAR® suite of solutions, CCO is the first OOH media company in the U.S. to harness this advanced privacy-centric technology. This enables brands using DCRs for audience targeting and campaign amplification to run the most relevant ads and understand and analyze audience behaviors, by offering a secure way for brands to unlock insights from sensitive data without sacrificing security, privacy or performance. By activating these new partnerships and integrations within the CCO RADAR data platform, brands can securely leverage their own data throughout the planning, optimization and measurement of their campaign while allowing for more precise audience targeting and attribution in a one-to-many medium, like OOH. This Data Clean Room integration with CCO arrives at a pivotal time as platforms phase out the use of third-party cookies and other identifiers amid rising state and federal privacy regulations where brands can expect a potential loss of online data. With the challenges rising in targeting and measurement across digital channels that are reliant upon cookie data, CCO is enabling a solution that allows brands to reach their core audiences and measure outcomes in a privacy-compliant manner. Historically, brands have relied on tech companies to tell them about their audiences and the identifiers used in the online space do not necessarily put consumer privacy first. Today, brands want increasing control over their own customers' data and this new, first-to-market integration, respects their ownership of the data when working with large media publishers, like CCO, to reach their consumers. And this innovation further enables OOH to be a part of a brand's omni-channel targeting and measurement strategy as the privacy landscape shifts. "More and more digital-first brands are recognizing the power of OOH to deliver their message to the right audience segments with measurable impact and at scale," said Jeremy Flynn, SVP, Data Products and Strategy, Clear Channel Outdoor. "These DCR integrations allow OOH to be seen as an integrated part of a performance marketer's media mix and we believe this innovation will bring more brands into the OOH space because of our advanced abilities to leverage their chosen data to plan, measure & optimize outcomes." To provide choice for brands and advertisers' preferred DCR capabilities, CCO RADAR® has enabled secure data collaboration integration services from Habu, InfoSum, Aqfer and LiveRamp to deliver a highly secure environment for CCO and its customers. The ability to work together with sensitive data, helping ensure confidentiality and protection while enabling customers to collaborate with each other's data without revealing any sensitive information ensures the highest level of privacy and protection is considered for both consumers and advertisers. "As OOH continues to play a more prominent role in omni-channel strategy for data-driven brands, we are thrilled to partner with Clear Channel Outdoor to deliver the first-to-market OOH clean room solution to advertisers," said Matt Kilmartin, Co-Founder and CEO of Habu, a global innovator in data clean room software. "Clear Channel Outdoor is pioneering a new era of excellence for OOH advertising capabilities and we look forward to continued innovation with them in the months ahead." "We're thrilled to be working with Clear Channel Outdoor to facilitate a true multi-party collaboration solution without any reliance on third-party cookies. This partnership will enable brands and publishers to execute targeted OOH advertising in collaboration with Clear Channel Outdoor," said Jared Hand, SVP, Sales, North America at InfoSum, the world's leading data collaboration technology. "We are excited to work with an innovative company that shares our vision of doing right by consumers and who is leading the way in the use of clean room technology to execute true omnichannel campaigns." "In today's ever changing privacy landscape, media companies need the ability to set and meet secure data collaboration standards that protect consumers while facilitating modern campaign planning, measurement, and activation techniques," says Marc Sabatini, Chief Strategy Officer at Aqfer. "Delivering interoperable solutions for Clear Channel Outdoor that enable truly secure collaboration across the DCR ecosystem enhances the value of the RADAR platform for brands and their agency partners." "In order to achieve effective, multi-channel advertising in today's fragmented data landscape, brands must be able to collaborate with partners in a secure and privacy-focused way," said Daniella Harkins, SVP of Product, Go-To-Market at LiveRamp. "LiveRamp's flexible and interoperable data collaboration technology, paired with Clear Channel Outdoor's scale, empowers advertisers with tools that unlock more accurate and comprehensive measurement of media performance. With new insights and partnerships, OOH advertisers can make more strategic media decisions, discover new opportunities, and scale what best drives growth." About Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CCO) is at the forefront of driving innovation in the out-of-home advertising industry. Our dynamic advertising platform is broadening the pool of advertisers using our medium through the expansion of digital billboards and displays and the integration of data analytics and programmatic capabilities that deliver measurable campaigns that are simpler to buy.
