“We still see most brands talking a big game with data and targeting, and then leaning on the metrics they know when buying  CTV. It’s not nearly as precise or measurable as it could be at this stage. That’s not to say that we’re not seeing great success for the DTC brands that are experimenting. It’s just very early in the market’s evolution.” — Joel Cox
