CTV-Specific Considerations
- No clickable CTAs: Viewers cannot click on TV ads -- use memorable URLs, QR codes, or "search for" prompts
- Larger screen: Visuals need to hold up on big screens, so use high-resolution assets
- Audio matters more: Many viewers will have audio on, unlike social media
- Professional tone: CTV audiences expect higher production quality than social media
- Brand safety: CTV environments have stricter content requirements
