Given the downward trends in pay-TV subscribers and the surge in popularity of short-form online video and gaming among younger consumers in particular, a new survey confirming that Gen Z spends far less time consuming traditional television than older generations isn't likely to come as a shock to either advertisers or media owners.

The major players have all broken cover, falling over themselves to announce their own AI chatbots and make the first dent in the market. The arms race began in earnest as Microsoft announced a revamped version of its Bing search engine, with integrated ChatGPT.

Chinese search giant Baidu also announced that it will be launching the AI chatbot Wenxin Yiyan, or Ernie bot, in March, while privacy-centric search newcomer Neeva had already introduced NeevaAI on January 5th.

How performance agencies are unlocking a new acquisition channel (and revenue) with TV

Illustration

Many digitally-native brands are now utilizing streaming and linear TV for the first time as they diversify their media mix beyond search and social. While this is a huge shift, this democratization of TV is largely happening at the brand level and less so at agencies.

There is a massive opportunity for the thousands of smaller agencies with strong digital experience to further this democratization and bring the power of TV to more brands. TV ads will not only help their brands grow but also add revenue and profitability to the agencies themselves.
