ADVERTISING Advanced TV provider Simulmedia launched a marketplace specifically designed for direct-to-consumer marketers. Called D2Cx.com, the new marketplace uses bidding, small daily minimums, fast, bottom-up reporting and distribution across more than 200 billion national TV ad impressions weekly from top cable and broadcast networks. It aims to provide a single point of access into the massive reach of television, with transparency on outcomes, fees, supplier media and data costs. RESEARCH & DATA Top OTT platforms spent more than $55 million on advertising this summer, according to new research from MediaRadar, an ad intelligence and sales enablement platform. MediaRadar’s new study, which analyzed spending from Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Facebook Watch, HBO Now and YouTube Premium from June 1–August 31, 2018, also found Netflix promoted 100 shows and was the top OTT spender. The top three shows advertised by Netflix this summer were new adult cartoon Disenchantment, season 2 of comedy Glow and the original film Set It Up. Netflix advertised on 279 online websites with 940 unique ads, 78 TV networks with 51 unique TV spots, as well as 25 print publications, with 52 unique print ads, the study found. As a whole, the OTT market is up 46 percent compared to last summer, when controlling for Hulu's reduction in ad spend. Hulu reduced its ad budget by more than 10 times this summer compared to last, driven by a reduction in TV spend, according to MediaRadar. Political TV advertising is setting records for both volume and negativity, according to research firm PQ Media, which predicts total spending will hit $6.75 billion in 2018, with about half of that going to television. A study released this week from Wesleyan Media Project finds the number of congressional and gubernatorial ads soared 59 percent over the previous midterm, in 2014. The study also found the number of negative ads spiked 61 percent this year over 2014. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Australia’s Network TEN commissioned Lineup Industries series Taboo.
