  • Special Episode: The Trade Desk’s Ventura OS: Disrupting CTV, Monetization, and User Experience
    Nov 20 2024

    In this special episode of the Refresh by AdTechGod, we discuss The Trade Desk's big announcement about Ventura, their new TV operating system set to drop in 2025.

    We chat about what this means for the connected TV (CTV) space; everything from possible conflicts of interest and the role of OEMs to how it might shake up the user experience. The panel takes a closer look at the challenges and opportunities this new OS brings, including the need for better interoperability and smarter monetization strategies. We also touch on the current state of CTV, how consumer experiences are becoming more commoditized, and what The Trade Desk’s strategy might mean for the market.

    Thats not all! There’s talk about publisher monetization struggles, discoverability issues, and how AI could step up to improve user experiences.
