Connected-TV, also referred to as OTT, refers to any TVs or devices that connect to the internet for streaming video content like, Hulu, Vudu, Roku channels, etc.
CTV/OTT provides content beyond what is available from the legacy providers like cable and broadcast. Advertising includes programmatic ads, which are shown on streaming devices, consoles, gaming devices, Smart TVs, and computer/mobile.
2020 had approximately 164 million U.S. viewers accessing CTV/OTT content, and is forecasted to grow by up to 204 million by 2022. CTV/OTT household devices topped 1 billion in 2019. (Source: Choozle)

How much should you budget for CTV advertising?
It depends on your goals and target market, but you can plan to budget anywhere from between $125k/month to $2500/month (USD), and at least a 3-6 month campaign. This does not include production costs, which can range from $5000 to $50,000+.
* You can view production cost as spread over the duration of the campaign, even though it will likely be an up-front cost. For example, if you invest in $6000 for production of video(s) for a 12-month campaign, it essentially adds just $500 per month to the campaign. If the campaign is 6-months, then that would be like adding $1000 per month to the campaign.
