Here are a few ideas that are key to running a successful campaign:

  • Take Advantage of Hypertargeting

    With a high amount of potential consumers in the market, it’s impossible to create content that will appeal to that many personalities. Hypertargeting takes a lot of the guesswork out of content creation because you have a good idea of exactly who will be watching your ad. While the different types of people who encounter MLB streaming ads may be innumerable, hypertargeting makes it possible to segment audiences based on demographics, typical consumer behaviors, and preferences.

    You as the advertiser can add context to your content, context that the viewer will relate to and remember. Consider their age, relationship status, hobbies, and pain points. What draws them to baseball, and more specifically to live games? Do they have a favorite player? A connection with Cincinnati? With hypertargeting, you can create original concepts, based on particular interests and characteristics, that will resonate with viewers and enhance your brand’s reputation.

  • Look to the Numbers

    In the way that hypertargeting tells you who is viewing your ad, data tells you how they’re viewing and interacting with your ad. With more comprehensive and in-depth data than traditional TV, OTT gives advertisers access to a collection of valuable information.

    When you advertise during MLB games, you’re granted insight into a variety of performance and viewership data depending on your ad streaming content and other factors.
