8 Proven Ways to Supercharge Your OTT Campaigns

Streaming TV is now the go-to choice for viewers, with 89% of U.S. households subscribing to at least one streaming service and over half using free, ad-supported platforms weekly (Source: ParksAssociate).

In 2025, it’s your chance to catch the last train and jump into OTT advertising—your audience is already on board! With OTT ad spending projected to reach $37.45 billion and 238.3 million US Connected TV Users, it’s the perfect moment to elevate your campaigns.

Here are 8 actionable tips to help you connect better, achieve better results, and make your ads work smarter — not harder — with Skybeam!

1. Retarget People Who Already Know You

Why waste time chasing cold leads? Focus on those who already like what you do!

Reconnect with Visitors: Show ads to people who checked out your site or app but didn’t take the next step.
Use Your Data: Upload customer lists into Skybeam and create super-targeted campaigns in minutes.
Expand Smartly: Let Skybeam help you find new people just like your best customers with lookalike audiences.

💡 Pro Tip: A little reminder can go a long way in turning interest into action!

2. Move Beyond Basic Demographics

Age and gender alone aren’t enough to ensure effective targeting anymore. Go deeper with data-driven strategies:

Behavior-Based Targeting: Reach viewers based on what they love—think fitness buffs, tech enthusiasts, or home chefs.
Test Niche Audiences: Try creative groups like “eco-conscious millennials” or “pet parents under 40” to discover hidden gems.

💡 Pro Tip: The more tailored your message, the more likely it is to hit home!

3. Don’t Be That Annoying Brand

No one likes seeing the same ad over and over. Find the perfect balance:

Set Limits: Use frequency caps to make sure people don’t get tired of your ads.
Mix It Up: Show your ads at different times of the day to keep things fresh and reach new viewers.

4. Be Everywhere Your Audience Is

People don’t just watch TV—they jump between screens all day. Stay with them!

Unified Ads: Make sure your message is consistent, no matter where your audience sees it.
Smart Follow-Ups: If they see your ad on TV, follow up with a related one on their phone or tablet.

Skybeam makes it easy to sync your message across all screens!

5. Make It Personal

Generic ads are boring. Speak directly to your audience!

Tailored Messages: Create ads that feel like they’re made for specific groups, like “busy parents” or “adventurous travelers.”
Real-Time Tweaks: Update your ads on the fly based on who’s watching and where.

💡 Pro Tip: Personalized ads are way more memorable and meaningful!

6. Tell a Story, Don’t Just Sell

People remember stories, not pitches. Use sequential ads to guide your audience step-by-step.

Start Strong: Introduce your brand with an eye-catching opener.
Keep Them Hooked: Show off your best features in the next ad.
Seal the Deal: Finish with a killer call to action or promo offer.

💡 Pro Tip: Storytelling keeps your audience excited and connected!

7. Think Local, Act Local

Sometimes, the best way to win big is by thinking small—geographically, that is!

Local Offers: Promote events, store openings, or limited-time sales in specific areas.
Speak Their Language: Use visuals and messaging that resonate with local audiences.

💡 Pro Tip: A local touch makes your brand feel more personal and relatable.

8. Track, Learn, and Improve

Skybeam gives you real-time insights to help you get better with every campaign.
