Streaming Delivers Hard-to-Reach Households

Effectv this month released a new study identifying the key components of success for high-reaching multiscreen campaigns. The study analyzed approximately 40,000 monthly ad campaigns airing across traditional TV and streaming content, and found that the highest-reaching campaigns shared several common elements.

Key Findings:

  • 88% of the highest-reaching multiscreen campaigns included FAST channels. FAST channels are free, ad-supported streaming channels that offer a variety of content, including news, sports, and entertainment.
  • 96% of the highest-reaching multiscreen campaigns included news. News is a popular genre of content across all platforms, and it can be a great way to reach a large audience.
  • Other key elements of high-reaching multiscreen campaigns include:
    • Impressions across dayparts
    • 20+ traditional TV networks
    • 90+ streaming endpoints
    • Sports programming
    • On air for more than 90% of the time period (monthly)
    • Streaming on at least two devices (40% streaming on four or more)

FAST TV stands for Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV. It is a type of streaming television that is funded by advertising, just like traditional TV. However, FAST TV is free to watch, with no subscription required.

FAST TV services offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, news, live sports, and more. Some FAST TV services offer a mix of linear channels and video on demand content, while others focus primarily on one or the other.

Some popular FAST TV services include:

  • Pluto TV
  • Tubi
  • The Roku Channel
  • Samsung TV Plus
  • Amazon Freevee
  • Crackle
  • Plex
  • Xumo
  • Sling Freestream

The drawbacks of FAST TV are that the quality of the video may not be as good as on some subscription-based streaming services, the content has commercials, and the selection of content may be limited on some platforms.
