OUTCOMES

What It Delivers

Full-screen brand presence in the households that match your customer profile

CTV delivers non-skippable, 15- or 30-second video ads to streaming households across DuPage, Kane, Kendall, and Will Counties. Targeting by geography, demographics, and interests means the households seeing your ad are matched to your actual customer criteria, not the broad cable zone that includes large amounts of geography and audience you cannot serve. The result is television-quality brand presence without cable waste.

Measurable video completion rates that confirm the full message was delivered

Non-skippable CTV ads have video completion rates that substantially outperform other digital video formats. Monthly reporting shows impressions delivered, video completion rate, household reach, and frequency, so you can see exactly how many times your full message ran in front of targeted households across the Collar Counties rather than relying on estimated viewership panels that traditional TV uses to approximate reach.

Brand recognition that compounds across the full local presence stack

A household that sees your CTV ad while streaming at home and then encounters your brand on DDM's indoor digital billboard network inside a local venue during the week is getting the same message in two distinct screen environments. That cross-screen repetition builds the kind of recognition that shortens the consideration window when a buyer is ready to make a decision, and it is measurably more effective than either channel in isolation.

THE PROCESS

How It Works

Define the target audience and household geography

We build the audience profile for your campaign by identifying the households in DuPage, Kane, Kendall, and Will Counties that match your customer criteria by geography, demographics, and interests. Campaign flight dates, frequency caps, and budget allocation are set before the campaign launches so every impression goes to a qualified household and spend does not leak outside your service area.

Prepare creative and launch across streaming platforms

We evaluate your existing video assets for CTV format suitability and advise on any adaptations needed for a non-skippable, lean-back viewing environment before the campaign goes live. Once creative is confirmed, the campaign is placed across Roku, smart TVs, Fire TV, Apple TV, and the OTT apps accessed through those devices, with targeting parameters locked and delivery confirmed on day one.

Report on impressions, completion rate, and household reach monthly

Monthly reporting covers total impressions delivered, video completion rate, unique household reach, frequency distribution, and targeting breakdown by county and audience segment across the Collar Counties. We review performance against campaign goals, adjust targeting or creative if completion rates or reach benchmarks fall below plan, and show how CTV activity correlates with any lift in branded search or website traffic during the flight period.

WHY DDM

Enterprise Discipline Applied to Local Markets

National advertisers have run CTV campaigns with programmatic audience targeting, video completion tracking, and household-level frequency management as standard practice for years. Independent local businesses in the Collar Counties have historically had access only to traditional cable, which sells geographic zones rather than audience households and measures viewership through estimated panels rather than actual delivery data. DDM applies the same programmatic CTV infrastructure national brands use, scaled to the budgets and service areas of local businesses in DuPage, Kane, Kendall, and Will Counties.

Connected TV at DDM integrates with the broader local presence stack. DDM operates an indoor digital billboard network across venues in DuPage and the surrounding Collar Counties. A CTV campaign reaches your target households on the living-room screen at home. When those same households visit a gym, restaurant, or local business where DDM has a screen, they see your brand again in a trusted venue environment. Two video channels, two distinct contexts, one consistent message building recognition across both. That cross-screen compounding is what separates a visibility strategy from a single-channel placement.

Household targeting, not cable zones

Traditional cable sells zones that cover entire markets. CTV targeting identifies the specific households in DuPage, Kane, Kendall, and Will Counties that match your customer demographics and interests, so impressions are concentrated where they are most likely to matter rather than distributed across geography you cannot serve.

Non-skippable delivery with completion-rate reporting

CTV ads are delivered as non-skippable placements, which means video completion rates are measurably higher than other digital video formats. Monthly reporting confirms how many times the full ad ran, which is a different and more meaningful metric than the estimated reach panels traditional TV uses.

A complement to search, social, and geofencing, not a replacement

Paid search captures intent already expressed. Social ads reach interest-based audiences in a feed. Geofencing targets physical behavior on mobile. CTV reaches people on the living-room screen during streaming. Each channel covers a different moment in the customer journey. DDM plans CTV as part of an integrated channel mix, not as a standalone placement.

Paired with indoor billboard for cross-screen frequency

DDM's indoor digital billboard network gives CTV advertisers a companion video channel that reaches the same target households when they are out in the community. The combination of at-home streaming exposure and in-venue screen exposure builds recognition across two distinct daily environments, which compounds the impact of each channel individually.
