Next Tuesday in London, Future of TV Advertising Global will kick off with speakers from Netflix, Disney, Sky, ITV, Mars, DAZN DISH Media, RTL, CBS, Roku and more joining. Key themes that will be discussed include the future of viewing, with a focus on ad-supported content (as well as the impact of Netflix and Disney+ advertising), reach and optimising the delivery of cross-platform, cross-media audiences, and alternative measurement and measurement fragmentation.
Sessions will also explore programmatic TV and a new era of broadcast-like ad break management, as well as CTV as a linear experience and the impact of digital-first content discovery on planning decisions.
Notable speakers include Rita Ferro, President, Advertising Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution, Disney, who will discuss the latest trends impacting brands and consumers, how Disney has reimagined its own organisational structure to meet the needs of modern advertisers, its latest efforts in data and measurement innovation, and its stance on streaming on the eve of the ad-supported launch of Disney+.
Jeremi Gorman, President, Worldwide Advertising, Netflix will talk with Dave Morgan, Chief Executive Officer, Simulmedia, about the potential reach for ads shown on Netflix, likely ad loads, format preferences and format innovation, how Netflix inventory will be made available to buyers and how it can be planned into campaigns that span other media owners (on streaming and broadcast linear).

The ‘Total Video session’ on Day One of the event will feature Stephan Breneau, Global Head of Product Solutions at Wavemaker, who will explore how AI and ML makes it possible to optimise reach across overlapping audience segments – improving reach for each segment without diminishing reach for the others.

Kantar and Samsung Ads will also deliver presentations during this session.
In the ‘Growth through targeting session’ on Day Two, Lara Izlan, Director of Data Strategy, ITV and Hannah Barlow, Deputy Controller, Advanced Advertising, ITV, will explain how to build a more joined-up approach to data – connecting viewer touchpoints across content, marketing, product and advertising.
