We are excited to announce that Rick Bergan, our Head of Content Distribution, will be a panelist at TVOT NYC 2024, an event focused on the evolving landscape of television.
This panel will delve into the significant growth of ad-supported streaming, as highlighted by recent Kantar research, which shows a notable increase in consumer acceptance of AVOD and FAST services.
The session will explore the current state of the ad-supported streaming economy and discuss its future trajectory. Key topics include emerging partnerships, popular content trends, and new monetization opportunities. The panel will also tackle challenges such as improving ad relevance and measuring success without uniform standards.
Joining industry leaders like Brandon Pankey of APEX and James Brown of Revolt, Rick will share insights on how Stingray is navigating these changes and contributing to the evolution of ad-supported streaming.
Stay tuned for more updates from the event and insights into how Stingray is shaping the future of digital content distribution.
