Common questions answered
What makes a CTV ad creative effective?
Effective CTV creative captures attention in the first few seconds, delivers a clear message, and includes a memorable call to action. Unlike social media where users scroll past, TV viewers tend to watch entire ads, so you have time to tell a story but must still hook them early.
How long should a CTV ad be?
30 seconds is the standard and most effective length for CTV advertising. It's long enough to deliver a complete message but short enough to maintain attention. 15-second ads work for simple awareness messages, while 60-second spots are reserved for complex stories.
Do I need professional video production for CTV ads?
Not anymore. AI-powered platforms can generate professional-quality CTV ads from your website and assets in minutes. The key is having a clear message and visual assets. Professional production is an option but no longer a requirement.
What should a small business CTV ad include?
Include your name and what you do, show your product or service in action, feature real people (you, your team, your customers), provide a reason to act, and end with how to find you. Keep the message focused on one main point rather than trying to say everything.
