Example of CTV & Streaming Advertising Campaigns

CTV and streaming video ads open up new opportunities to reach audiences on the big screen—where attention is high and distractions are low. Whether you're advertising a local restaurant or a tourism board, CTV enables precise targeting across premium content platforms like Netflix, Hulu, Roku, and more.

Some campaigns focus on geographic relevance, others on audience interests or timing. Below are three examples showing how advertisers can harness CTV and streaming campaigns effectively using AllMediaDesk’s self-service platform.

Pros and Cons

Neighborhood Pizza Chain – Local Reach on Smart TVs

Customer:

A family-owned pizza chain with six locations across a metro area.

Campaign Strategy:

Use geotargeted CTV placements to reach families during dinner hours on popular streaming channels.

Example Ad Execution:
  • 15-second video ads run on platforms like Hulu and Pluto TV from 5–9 PM.
  • Ads are geofenced to neighborhoods near the six store locations.
  • Messaging includes promotions like “2 Large Pizzas for $19.99 – Only in [City Name]” or “Fresh Pizza Delivered Tonight.”
  • Formats: Full-screen video (non-skippable), shown during ad breaks in family shows or local news.
Why It Works:
  • Shows ads to hungry families when they’re already thinking about dinner.
  • Builds strong local brand awareness via high-quality, cinematic placements and mentioning city name in the ads.
  • Avoids wasted spend by restricting impressions to the chain’s delivery areas.
Cost Estimation:
  • Campaign generates approx. 200,000 impressions over 2 weeks.
  • CPM: $90-$100 (due to premium streaming inventory and precise geotargeting).
  • Total investment: $18,000 – $20,000
