For years, TV ads were something only big brands could afford. Meanwhile, B2B marketers are stuck with digital channels like Google Ads, LinkedIn, and email — because they can track every click and conversion.
But times have changed.
Connected TV (CTV) has made TV advertising smarter, more affordable, and just as measurable as digital marketing. It’s no longer just for brand awareness — it’s a powerful way to reach decision-makers, capture demand, and generate leads.
If CTV isn’t part of your marketing mix yet, here’s why it should be.
CTV isn’t like traditional TV ads, where you’re casting a wide net and hoping for the best. It combines the reach and impact of television with the precision and measurability of digital advertising.
Your ad actually gets watched. No skipping, no scrolling past — just your full message, front and center.
You can target exactly the right people — whether it’s pet owners, potential first-time homebuyers, or even past website visitors for retargeting.
You get real-time insights. Using Skybeam Pixel, you can track impressions, website visits, and conversions so you know exactly what’s working.
It makes your other ads work harder. CTV doesn’t replace your Google, LinkedIn, or email campaigns — it supercharges them, leading to better performance across all your channels.
The result? More qualified leads, lower cost per acquisition, and a stronger marketing funnel.
A common myth in B2B marketing is that decision-makers only engage with work-related content during office hours. But let’s be real — they’re people too. They watch TV after work, stream news in the morning, and unwind with their favorite shows on weekends.
CTV ensures your message reaches them at the perfect moment, whether they’re at home on the couch or streaming from their laptop.
Retarget Website Visitors: show ads to people who visited key pages but didn’t convert.
Reach Decision-Makers: target business owners with precision.
Focus on Buyers with Budget: ensure your ads reach people with purchasing power by targeting households with higher incomes.
With Skybeam’s self-serve TV advertising platform, setting up these targeting options is as easy as launching a Google or LinkedIn ad.
If you’re already running Google Ads and LinkedIn campaigns, you might wonder: Do I really need CTV advertising?
The answer is yes, and here’s why:
TV drives more search traffic: People who see your CTV ad are more likely to Google your brand and convert.
It boosts social media engagement: The halo effect of CTV extends to social platforms. Advertisers report that adding performance TV alongside other paid channels like search and social leads to increased sales, with 65% of advertisers noting such improvements.
It improves email results: Potential customers who see a CTV ad are more likely to engage. In one case, conversion rates jumped from 6% to 14% when combined with CTV exposure. This highlights how CTV boosts brand recall, leading to higher email open rates and increased actions.
Adding CTV doesn’t just expand your reach — it amplifies every marketing channel. Boost search traffic, increase social engagement, and drive more conversions across the board.
