The Big Shift 2025: How CTV is Redefining Viewer Engagement

The Big Shift 2025: How CTV is Redefining Viewer Engagement

advertising 22 Apr 2025

LG Ad Solutions, a global force in connected TV (CTV) and cross-screen advertising, has unveiled its latest annual insights report, “The Big Shift 2025.” Now in its fourth year, the study provides deep insights into changing viewer behaviors, platform engagement trends, and emerging opportunities for advertisers on the largest screen in the home.

The connected TV experience is no longer about passive entertainment. Consumers are now leveraging their TV's home screen for interactive content discovery, shopping, cloud gaming, and more—transforming it into a dynamic hub that blends entertainment with digital lifestyle experiences. For advertisers, this evolution signals a new frontier for meaningful engagement across entertainment, commerce, and multi-device interactions.

The TV Home Screen as a Digital Launchpad

The TV home screen has transitioned from a static menu to an interactive engagement platform:

  • Cloud Gaming: 46% of viewers engage with gaming hubs directly from their TV.

  • On-Screen Shopping: 44% use the TV to browse or initiate retail interactions.

  • Content Discovery: Viewers now spend nearly 10 minutes navigating from power-on to content selection—one-third of that time is spent on the LG Home Screen.

“Today’s TV home screen is a launchpad for immersive entertainment, interactive experiences, and increasingly, retail,” said Tony Marlow, CMO at LG Ad Solutions. “It’s where entertainment and commerce converge—presenting an unmatched opportunity for advertisers.”

CTV Advertising Drives Measurable Consumer Action

CTV ads are no longer just about awareness—they directly influence consumer behavior:

  • 39% of viewers searched online for a product after seeing a CTV ad.

  • 38% visited a brand’s website.

  • 21% made a purchase.

  • 19% visited a physical store.

This highlights CTV’s growing role as a performance marketing channel, capable of guiding audiences from awareness to action in a single viewing session.

Economic Pressures Drive the Shift to Ad-Supported Streaming

As subscription fatigue grows, free ad-supported TV (FAST) continues to gain traction:

  • 36% of CTV viewers canceled at least one paid streaming service in the past year.

  • 67% now prefer ad-supported content.

  • 24% plan to add a FAST service in the next 12 months.

This shift is creating new inventory and engagement opportunities for advertisers who want to scale reach cost-effectively in an increasingly fragmented media landscape.

Multitasking & Cross-Screen Engagement: The New Normal

The living room is no longer a single-screen environment. CTV viewers are actively engaging with multiple devices while watching content:

  • 95% multitask while watching TV.

  • 26% are always multitasking—up 8% from the previous year.

  • Activities include:

    • Messaging (62%)

    • Browsing social media (54%)

    • Gaming (47%)

    • Shopping online (44%)

    • Streaming additional content (24%)

This behavior opens the door to cross-screen advertising strategies, allowing brands to create synchronized, immersive experiences across TV, mobile, and web platforms.

Implications for Brands and Marketers

The findings from The Big Shift 2025 point to a fundamental evolution in the role of connected TV:

  • CTV is no longer passive: It’s an interactive, performance-driven channel for entertainment, shopping, and brand engagement.

  • Ad experiences must evolve: Creative strategies should reflect consumer behavior—blending interactivity, utility, and real-time personalization.

  • Cross-screen synergy is essential: Campaigns that coordinate across TV, mobile, and web will have the greatest impact in a multitasking, multi-device world.

Advertisers who adapt to these shifts will not only capture attention but also drive action at every stage of the customer journey—from discovery to purchase.

The Big Shift 2025 confirms that the CTV landscape is undergoing a dramatic transformation, driven by consumer demand for more interactive and personalized experiences. As connected TVs become central hubs for entertainment, commerce, and multi-device interaction, the opportunities for advertisers to engage, influence, and convert are more powerful than ever.

For brands that understand and embrace this shift, CTV offers a unique advantage—one that bridges storytelling, commerce, and performance at the heart of the digital home.

2025 U.S. Marketing Budgets: AI Transformation and Shifting Priorities for B2B Marketers

2025 U.S. Marketing Budgets: AI Transformation and Shifting Priorities for B2B Marketers

digital marketing 22 Apr 2025

10Fold, a leading B2B Deep Tech integrated PR and digital communications agency, has released its latest report, 2025 U.S. Marketing Budgets Update: The CMO Wake-Up Call. This comprehensive study, based on a survey of 125 U.S.-based B2B marketing executives, uncovers critical insights into how AI and automation are influencing marketing budgets, staffing decisions, and overall performance goals.

As AI-driven transformation accelerates across industries, CMOs are reevaluating their strategies—balancing the pressure to grow with the reality of adopting new technologies. The study highlights a shift away from blanket growth towards a more performance-based, disciplined approach, with AI playing a central role in these changes. The findings also reveal the challenges B2B marketers face as they align their budgets with ROI-driven activities.

Bigger Budgets, Lower Expectations

Despite 56% of companies reporting an increase in their marketing budgets for 2025, the growth was typically modest, often under 20%. However, this boost in budget was not accompanied by a corresponding rise in KPI expectations. In fact, only 47% of marketers raised their KPI goals, while a majority (52%) either kept expectations flat or reduced them.

The trend points to a cautious and disciplined approach in marketing, with CMOs focusing on more targeted, measurable investments, particularly in AI and automation.

“The 2025 findings reveal a more cautious, disciplined approach to growth,” said Susan Thomas, CEO of 10Fold. “Organizations are investing in AI, but there’s a clear understanding that the systems need time to produce measurable results.”

AI's Dual Role: Growth Enabler vs. Cost Cutter

AI continues to disrupt the B2B marketing landscape, but CMOs are divided on how it affects their budgets. According to the report:

  • 46% of companies cited AI as a reason for increasing their marketing budgets.

  • 30% of companies pointed to AI as a reason for reducing budgets.

The impact of AI on internal staffing and agency relationships is also mixed. Among organizations using AI:

  • 42% expanded internal teams due to AI-driven efficiencies.

  • 27% reduced staff as a result of automation.

Additionally, 42% of CMOs reported an increase in agency spending due to AI-driven needs, signaling a growing reliance on external expertise to integrate AI solutions.

Notably, enterprise software companies and the cybersecurity sector led the charge in AI investments, with 65% increasing internal teams and 61% raising agency budgets.

Sales Tools: Top Priority but Low ROI

When it comes to sales enablement tools, they were the top investment priority for 77% of marketers. However, despite the high investment:

  • Only 7% of respondents reported high ROI from these tools.

This disconnect between budget allocation and tangible business results is evident, leading many marketers to reconsider their strategies.

In contrast, smaller, targeted efforts like website predictive tools, social influencer programs, and content development were seen to offer higher ROI:

  • 20% of respondents saw high ROI from predictive website tools.

  • 17% found social influencer programs to be highly effective.

  • 16% saw strong results from content development for ideal customer profiles (ICPs).

This highlights a shift towards more personalized, ROI-driven initiatives rather than broad sales-enablement programs.

Rebalancing Marketing Spend: Analyst Services Decline, Regional Events Rise

Another significant finding in the report is the decline of traditional brand awareness strategies:

  • 46% of marketers reported zero spend on analyst programs.

  • 42% cut back on thought leadership programs.

In place of these initiatives, CMOs are doubling down on measurable, ROI-driven activities, such as:

  • Regional events (58%).

  • Automation tools (56%).

  • Organic social media (56%).

This trend suggests a shift away from traditional, awareness-based marketing and towards activities that offer more immediate and measurable engagement.

LinkedIn Dominates and Smaller Companies Take Bigger Risks

In the B2B marketing world, LinkedIn remains the dominant platform, with 83% of respondents naming it as their top platform. In contrast, only 17% favored X (formerly Twitter).

Additionally, smaller companies are increasingly taking bolder marketing risks:

  • 59% of businesses with less than $10 million in revenue increased their marketing spend in 2025.

Regional events have gained significant traction, with 58% of respondents prioritizing smaller, targeted events over large-scale trade shows (48%). This signals a trend towards more focused, community-building engagements.

The 2025 U.S. Marketing Budgets Update from 10Fold underscores a pivotal moment for B2B marketers as they navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by AI, automation, and shifting customer expectations. While marketing budgets are increasing for many, the focus is on performance-driven investments that promise more immediate, quantifiable outcomes.

With AI continuing to disrupt operations, marketers are balancing the need for growth with the understanding that new technologies take time to yield results. The report also reveals a shift away from traditional marketing tactics towards data-driven activities, including regional events, social media, and predictive tools—all in pursuit of stronger customer engagement and higher ROI.

As B2B marketers continue to adapt to these changes, embracing a more disciplined and targeted approach will be key to staying competitive in the evolving landscape of 2025.

Marketing Architects Introduces Generative AI for TV Ad Production

Marketing Architects Introduces Generative AI for TV Ad Production

artificial intelligence 22 Apr 2025

 

Marketing Architects, a leading TV advertising agency, has unveiled its groundbreaking advancements in generative AI for creative video production. In collaboration with their product development incubator, Misfits & Machines, the agency has pioneered the use of LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) technology—a powerful method that enables the creation of highly specialized AI models without requiring massive computational resources.

By leveraging this innovative approach, Marketing Architects allows brands to generate high-quality video content that maintains brand consistency, offering advertisers greater creative control and significantly reducing traditional production timelines.

The Role of LoRA in Solving AI Video Production Challenges

AI-generated video content has often faced hurdles in ensuring brand consistency, especially for complex products and logos. Previous attempts at AI-driven video production often lacked the fine-tuned control needed to maintain a brand’s aesthetic integrity. The introduction of LoRA technology addresses this issue by enabling the creation of specialized AI models trained on carefully curated datasets. These datasets capture brand-specific aesthetics, product details, and artistic styles, resulting in videos that feel custom-shot for each brand.

Rob DeMars, Chief Product Architect at Misfits & Machines, highlights the impact of LoRA technology, saying:
Traditional video production gets bottlenecked by scheduling, shooting, and post-production. Brands will soon be able to generate high-quality content on-demand, while keeping complete control over their creative identity. This is the future of shootless video production, and our applications tackle challenges that off-the-shelf AI video tools can't yet handle.”

Benefits of AI-Generated Video with LoRA Technology

The incorporation of LoRA technology into TV advertising production provides several significant advantages:

1. Faster Production Timelines

Traditional video production can be a slow process, but with AI-driven solutions, brands can now produce videos on-demand without the lengthy wait times for shoots, edits, and post-production.

2. Enhanced Brand Consistency

With LoRA’s ability to capture specific brand characteristics, AI-generated videos align perfectly with the brand’s voice, aesthetic, and style, maintaining consistency across all visual elements.

3. On-Demand Creative Variants

Brands can now create seasonal and regional video variants without additional shoots, enabling them to quickly adapt to different markets or change messaging according to specific needs.

4. New Creative Possibilities

From stylized brand storytelling to hyper-personalized video ads, generative AI opens new doors for creative experimentation, allowing brands to explore innovative formats and content that resonate deeply with their audiences.

Addressing Longstanding Pain Points in TV Advertising

The traditional video production model in advertising has been unchanged for decades, and it often brings about challenges such as limited testing opportunities, the inability to quickly create creative variants, and high production costs. According to Angela Voss, CEO at Marketing Architects:

"The traditional production model hasn’t fundamentally changed across the ad industry in decades. We’ve watched advertisers struggle with the same pain points—limited testing opportunities, inability to quickly create creative variants, and budget constraints. Our work with generative AI, along with our all-inclusive approach to TV advertising, actively solves these issues."

By utilizing AI-powered solutions like LoRA, Marketing Architects and Misfits & Machines address these challenges head-on, enabling brands to overcome traditional advertising limitations and accelerate their ability to engage customers.

The Future of TV Advertising with Generative AI

As AI technology continues to advance, its role in TV advertising will expand, ushering in a new era of dynamic and customizable video content. Brands are set to benefit from:

  • Faster production timelines, without compromising quality.

  • The ability to create tailored versions of ads based on specific needs, like geography or seasonality.

  • More creative freedom with the ability to develop hyper-targeted and highly personalized ads for different audiences.

Marketing Architects and Misfits & Machines are at the forefront of the generative AI revolution in TV advertising. Their work with LoRA technology marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of video production, empowering brands to create high-quality content faster while maintaining full creative control. This shift promises to streamline processes, enhance brand consistency, and provide advertisers with the tools they need to adapt to the rapidly changing demands of modern audiences.

As the future of advertising becomes increasingly AI-driven, Marketing Architects and Misfits & Machines are poised to lead the charge in transforming how brands produce and deliver TV content.

The Vanella Group, Inc., a leader in B2B enterprise technology business development, has launched its innovative Framework of Access™—a cutting-edge model engineered to place sales professionals in front of the right decision-makers at the right time, with the right message. Powered by AI-driven dialers, adaptive workflows, and behavioral timing intelligence, the Framework of Access™ represents a new standard in outbound sales development, providing sales teams with smarter, more efficient tools for engagement.

Addressing the Challenges of Outbound Engagement

The launch of Framework of Access™ comes at a pivotal time when outbound sales efforts are facing significant challenges. C-level executives, CMOs, Partner Executives, and Sales VPs have consistently identified issues such as overwhelmed buyers, low-value outreach, and shrinking marketing budgets. Through extensive research and direct engagement, The Vanella Group recognized the need for a more strategic, signal-driven approach to outbound sales—a need now met with their new offering.

Features of the Framework of Access™

MariAnne Vanella, CEO of The Vanella Group, explains, “We’ve re-engineered the early stages of the sales cycle into a strategic asset. This is more than a dialer or a script; it’s a system that earns access, builds executive-level trust, and moves conversations from transactional to transformational.”

The Framework of Access™ includes several key features:

  • AI-Powered Dialers: These dialers optimize contact windows and delivery based on live behavioral data, ensuring the right message reaches the right person at the most opportune time.

This model is the culmination of what actually works in enterprise sales development, now enhanced with AI to scale precision without losing fluency.”

By leveraging AI to power its workflows and processes, The Vanella Group is setting a new benchmark for B2B sales development, ensuring that sales teams are not just reaching more decision-makers, but reaching them more effectively and efficiently.
