📡 Session 1: The CTV Ecosystem
Objective
Develop a comprehensive understanding of the Connected TV landscape and how content, data, ads, and money flow across broadcast, streaming, and digital environments.
Topics Covered
  • Introduction to CTV: Definition of Connected TV and its evolution from traditional linear television
  • Key components of the ecosystem: Smart TVs, streaming devices, operating systems, broadcasters, streaming platforms, distributors, and advertisers — and how they interact
  • Streaming and video business models: AVOD, SVOD, TVOD, FAST, hybrid models, and broadcaster-led streaming
  • CTV vs. traditional TV advertising: Differences in targeting, measurement, ad delivery, flexibility, and accountability
  • Market structure and power centers: Who controls supply, demand, data, and access — and why that matters strategically and commercially
Why This Matters
  • Creates a shared foundation across strategy, tech, product, and commercial teams
  • Clarifies Globo’s role in a rapidly shifting video ecosystem
  • Improves conversations with advertisers, agencies, and partners
  • Enables teams to articulate how Globo competes with global streamers and platforms
📊 Session 2: Data, Tracking & Measurement in CTV
Objective
Understand how data is collected, activated, governed, and measured in the CTV environment — and how this differs from both linear TV and digital media.
Topics Covered
  • Data collection methods: Automatic Content Recognition (ACR), SDK-based tracking, publisher data, device-level signals, and platform data
  • Identity and cross-device measurement: Household vs. individual identity; connecting CTV exposure to mobile, desktop, and offline outcomes
  • Data types and governance: First-, second-, and third-party data; use cases, limitations, and privacy considerations
  • Measurement frameworks: Reach, frequency, outcomes, attribution, incrementality, and brand vs. performance measurement in CTV
Why This Matters
  • Enables more confident conversations around targeting, outcomes, and ROI
  • Helps teams understand the value of first-party data in a privacy-first world
  • Reduces confusion around attribution and cross-platform measurement
  • Supports smarter product and measurement strategy decisions
⚙️ Session 3: Ad Serving in CTV

  • Publisher vs. advertiser ad servers: How inventory, creative, and tracking are managed across systems
  • Direct vs. programmatic ad serving: Priority, pacing, targeting, and yield implications
  • Operational challenges: Latency, buffering, ad sequencing, frequency control, competitive separation, and ad load
Why This Matters

  • Key ecosystem players: DSPs, SSPs, agencies, publishers, broadcasters, and walled gardens
  • Buying and selling workflows: How campaigns are planned, transacted, and optimized
  • Challenges and tradeoffs: Transparency, supply-path optimization (SPO), frequency management, fraud, and measurement gaps
Why This Matters
  • Demystifies programmatic for non-ad-tech specialists
  • Helps teams defend value and pricing beyond commoditized supply
  • Supports smarter packaging across direct and programmatic demand
  • Improves internal alignment on why deals win or lose
