THE OPPORTUNITY

Four strong regional firms control 48% combined. No Morgan & Morgan dominance here—it's a competitive local market where CTV can differentiate.

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 $2.2M/month market:

The top spender controls 16% of voice

5 firms control 52% of total spend

48% is fragmented across dozens of advertisers

Most are fighting for the same broadcast inventory

A CTV-first strategy in Kansas City 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.
