Transcript signals

Bull points

  • Demand for this feature has in part powered a 500% increase in Household ID powered ad spending on a trailing 12 month basis over the last two years, with a growing portion of that spend directed towards CTV.
  • As advertisers increasingly turn to incremental lift measurement, we believe our platform reveals CTV's superior impact, driving significant ad spend growth across our platform.
  • We believe Viant has a compelling value proposition that effectively attracts data-driven advertisers and aligns with their current buying behaviors.

Bear points

  • Advertisers have been misled and in some cases, this attribution misrepresentation has led advertisers to shift budget away from highly effective channels, like linear TV and CTV to the detriment of their own brand.
  • While we remain committed to investing in AI and technology to fuel long-term growth and market share gains, we continue to prioritize operational discipline.
  • While we reigned encouraged by the strength of quarter-to-date ad spend across our platform, macroeconomic uncertainty, specifically related to recently imposed tariffs, have prompted a small number of advertisers to delay campaign activations originally planned for Q2.
