THE OPPORTUNITY

14.7% growth with Morgan leading at 19.4%. The rest of the market is fragmented—lots of room for a CTV strategy to build share.

The firms winning in CTV aren't competing for the same broadcast spots. They're building presence where the audience actually is—and measuring what works.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR FIRM

In a $2.0M/month market:

The top spender controls 19% of voice

5 firms control 38% of total spend

62% is fragmented across dozens of advertisers

Most are fighting for the same broadcast inventory

A CTV-first strategy in Hartford means:

Reaching injury-likely households — ER visits, urgent care, collision signals — not "Adults 25-54"

Tracking what matters — site visits from our audience pool, calls from your website, calls directly from the ad via CallRail

Staying visible from living room to phone — CTV in the living room, retargeting on social, branded search when they're ready. Same audience, every touchpoint.

Exclusive access — your competitors can't buy into the same audience pool. You're in, they're out.
