Marketecture Thrives!

Marketecture Live just wrapped up, and I have to say I’m proud!

There’s no way this would have happened without the incredible hard work of Ari Paparo, Jeremy Bloom, Amelia, Jesse and so many others. Thank you!

We truly set out to bring together some of the smartest minds in AdTech and marketing for real, unfiltered conversations on identity, AI, CTV, attention, and so much more. And seeing the social buzz… I feel like we delivered.

The energy in the room was electric, but what really made me proud? The note-taking. Seeing people scribbling furiously, sharing insights, and even panicking over misplaced notebooks proved that they were walking away with real value.

If you were there, you know exactly what I’m talking about. And if you missed it, well, you missed out. Don’t worry, though; this was just the beginning. We’re already working on Marketecture Live II!

Huge shoutout to our amazing sponsors for making this all possible.

We’re just getting started 🚀

Streaming continues to dominate TV consumption

Nielsen’s latest The Gauge report for February 2025 shows that streaming remains the top way people consume TV, outpacing both cable and broadcast. YouTube leads the pack among streaming platforms, followed by Netflix and Disney+.

The data highlights a clear trend that CTV and digital platforms are where the audience is, and advertisers need to follow. The shift toward streaming-first consumption continues, reinforcing the importance of smart media planning and innovative ad strategies.

It is important for brands, publishers, and platforms to adapt or die.
