The Canadian Media Usage Study (CMUST) is a comprehensive, re-engineered report that documents the changing media consumption habits of consumers across devices and screens, different age segments and digital vs traditional media channels. In its latest edition, we’ll explore generational differences, delve deeper into the current media spend distribution compared to time consumption, how retail is shifting to include digital commerce, and the advances in calculating the carbon footprint of ads.

| 1:45pm – 2:00pm | Connected TV Imperative: The Future of AVOD in the Canadian Market
As the Canadian streaming audience grows from 12 million in 2020 to an expected 22.4 million in 2027, Canadian viewing habits will become more and more complex. With consumers seamlessly switching between linear TV and ad-supported and subscription streaming services, are marketers adapting their advertising spend to match the complexity of viewership? Join Justin Fromm, Head of Global Insights, Samsung Ads as he discusses how Canadian marketers can strike a balance between linear-centric and streaming-centric audiences by reallocating budgets relative to viewer behaviour, and maximize reach across the national TV audience.

| 2:30pm – 2:40pm | The Big Picture: Canada’s Importance and Consequences to Advertising Growth Headwinds
As the Canadian advertising and media landscape goes through a period of volatility (Twitter ad spending pauses, major publisher layoffs leading to less localized agency support, new Netflix/Disney+ ad-supported tiers, supply chain challenges, economic uncertainty), we take a step back and understand the macro implications to these potential advertising growth headwinds. How does the Canadian industry reflect on US trends and stay ahead of changes? How is the future of AVOD poised in this environment? What do advertisers need to consider as they look to 2023? How are publishers and the sell-side navigating through the period hand-in-hand with the buy-side? Speakers:
