LONDON, UK, Jan. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pixalate, the global market-leading ad fraud protection, privacy, and compliance analytics platform, today released the October 2023 Made For Advertising (MFA) Benchmark Report for Connected TV (CTV) Apps. The report benchmarks advertising trends on MFA CTV apps, including ad spend, invalid traffic (IVT) and ad fraud, the top ad platforms (SSPs) selling ads on MFA CTV apps, and the MFA CTV apps with the most advertising.
MFA CTV apps can feature intrusive advertising techniques like auto-play videos or ads restricting access to content, often resulting in a poor advertising-to-attention ratio.
Pixalate’s data science team analyzed over 6 billion programmatic ad impressions on over 5,550 CTV apps across Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Apple tvOS, and Samsung Smart TV platforms in October 2023 to compile this research.
