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
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.
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.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Connected TV (CTV) reaches people on the living-room screen while they stream on Roku, smart TVs, and other connected devices. Paid search on the Pay Per Click page targets intent expressed through a search query. Social ads on the Social Media Ads page target demographic and interest profiles in a social feed. Geofencing targets people based on where they physically go on their mobile devices. CTV is the only channel in the stack that puts a full-screen, non-skippable video ad in front of a household during a lean-back viewing session. The four channels reach the same potential customer at different moments and reinforce each other.
Connected TV campaigns run across smart TVs, Roku devices, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and the apps and streaming services accessed through those devices. Ads appear as non-skippable, full-screen video within streaming content on platforms including ad-supported tiers of major streaming services. Targeting is applied at the household level across DuPage, Kane, Kendall, and Will Counties, so your ad reaches the right households in the Collar Counties rather than buying broad cable zones with significant geographic waste.
CTV campaigns are targeted by geography down to the county and zip-code level, covering DuPage, Kane, Kendall, and Will Counties. Within that geography we layer in demographic targeting by age, household income, and presence of children, as well as interest and behavioral segments matched to your customer profile. This combination replaces the broadcast-area buying of traditional cable with precision targeting that puts your ad in front of streaming households that match your actual customer criteria.
Monthly reporting covers total impressions delivered, video completion rate, household reach, frequency, and targeting breakdown by geography and audience segment. Video completion rate is a particularly useful metric for CTV because non-skippable ads have measurably higher completion rates than other digital video formats, and that rate is a direct indicator of how often your full message is being delivered. Reports also show how CTV performance correlates with activity in other DDM channels you are running, such as increased branded search volume or website traffic during active CTV flight periods.
DDM works with existing video creative if you have it, and can help develop or adapt video assets for CTV format if you do not. Effective CTV ads are typically 15 or 30 seconds, non-skippable, and designed for a viewer who is leaned back rather than scrolling. The message, call to action, and brand identification need to work in that context. If your current video assets were produced for social or web, we evaluate whether they are suitable for CTV placement or whether adaptations are needed before the campaign launches.
DDM's indoor digital billboard network places your brand on screen inside trusted local venues across the Collar Counties: gyms, restaurants, car washes, and other establishments your target customers frequent during their week. A CTV campaign reaches those same households on the living-room screen while they stream at home. The combination means your brand appears in the lean-back environment at home and again in the active-visit environment out in the community. Both are video channels. Both are non-interruptible. The recognition built across both screens compounds into stronger recall and a shorter decision window when a customer is ready to buy.
