✅🖥️ DIGIDAY (6/27): “NBCU and Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) are making inventory on the Peacock streaming platform and the Eurosport website and supporting apps available to buy in private marketplaces (PMP for programmatic advertisers). That development could mean brands with smaller budgets can access huge Olympic audiences previously fenced off to big spenders. Peacock is set to carry the entire Olympic schedule — over 5,000 hours of live sports — and ads running against that coverage will all be available to buy programmatically, via a partnership with ad tech provider The Trade Desk. At the same time, Warner Bros. Discovery, which holds coverage rights across Europe via its Eurosport brand, has also begun to make inventory on its Olympic coverage available programmatically. It launched a new marketplace in May, WBD Connect, which gives advertisers access to ad inventory across CNN International Commercial (CNNIC) and WBD Sports Europe, including Eurosport, in partnership with ad tech vendor Magnite. While Eurosport streaming ads WBD’s streaming platforms Max and discovery+ will not be available to buy programmatically, the publisher has put ads on the Eurosport website and apps on the table. Like NBCU, the majority of WBD’s inventory is available via PMPs, though it’s also making a limited inventory available to the open market via pre-bid and in-app mediation.” ⬇️ #streamingtv #programmatic #olympics #ctv #ott #avod #smarttv https://lnkd.in/eeGpq4d7

Athletes aren’t the only ones competing during the Paris Olympics. Advertisers are bidding to reach tens of millions of viewers during the first programmatic Olympic Games. NBCUniversal is selling ad inventory throughout the 2024 Paris Olympics on Peacock programmatically. The highly coveted opening and closing ceremonies are the only exception. Commercial space is available exclusively via private marketplace deals through The Trade Desk and FreeWheel. Although most Olympics inventory will still be sold directly, programmatic is bringing in a large number of new advertisers that previously didn’t have the resources or budget to secure media during the Olympics. During a trial run in June to test programmatic ad buying, nearly every advertiser who bought in was new to the Olympics. Now that the Games are underway, NBCU says 70% of brand sponsors and advertisers are new. #programmatic #olympics #olympicsadvertising #digitaladvertising #tvadvertising #RTB https://lnkd.in/e44sQwpN

"NBCUniversal, which will broadcast the Olympic Games this summer, will make some of its inventory available programmatically for the first time, it announced Wednesday during the company’s annual One24 tech showcase. To do it, the broadcaster is partnering with The Trade Desk, which will build a private marketplace that’ll let advertisers bid on everything from the US Olympic Trials to the Paris Games." The interesting statistic is that much of that is streaming; in fact, more than 30% of Peacock ads are sold programmatically. With this much riding on the streaming service Peacock, we need to ask who is actually watching the local broadcasting channels for these big events anymore. With lower viewership due to streaming services, how will this impact the local stations as well as the agencies that place regional and local media buys when they can buy from the programmatic side? This should translate to lower rates for the local advertisers on the stations, especially since they have a fractional audience. #Olympics #localbroadcast #programmatic

The massive increase in viewership certainly boosted NBCUniversal's record ad revenues from the Paris #Olympics, but the fact that 70% of those brands are first-time Olympic advertisers reveals something deeper about the state of advertising in streaming. Within three years (the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games were held in 2021), advertiser comfort with and prioritization of stream-focused advertising in their campaign budgets has substantially increased. The Olympics is a unique measuring stick. It is a global event, and the value of associating with the Olympic brand has held steady over time. The boost in revenues reveals the continuing shift in ad budgets to the streaming world. All of those first-time advertisers didn't show up the day after the opening ceremonies begging for ad inventory. They all anticipated (with #NBC's encouragement) that streamed coverage would be widely viewed well ahead of the actual games. Good on them for betting correctly, and good on NBC, #Comcast's tech, the Olympic Organizers, and Paris for delivering the audience, content, and experience. #Streaming #Advertising Sappington Media https://lnkd.in/gnZKf-JD https://lnkd.in/gv4C34ZU
