“Streaming video and connected TV in particular absolutely tend to outperform linear TV,” said Michael Goodman, a senior contributing analyst with Parks Associates, a Dallas-based market research and consulting company specializing in consumer technology products.

He explained that ad-supported streaming has changed how brands think about the funnel — the journey a consumer takes from first becoming aware of a product to eventually buying it.

“Ad-supported streaming turns video into a data-driven, interactive and measurable channel with more precise discovery, more dynamic storytelling and purchases that become immediate and tractable,” he told the E-Commerce Times. “That fundamentally reshapes how brands plan and execute campaigns.”

“I think a big takeaway here is that, in many ways, brands and advertising are shifting to results-oriented outcomes,” observed Parks’ Goodman. “There’s an expectation that you can have a measurable return, and that return on your advertising dollar is more than just awareness.”

“Whether it is actionable ads, shoppable ads, retail media,” he continued, “all these things come together to produce actionable results for the advertiser that are deep in the funnel, close to the purchase or close to the outcome that they’re trying to achieve.”
