2023 State of Play

Data-driven personalization: The future of streaming content discovery

To counteract the rise of overwhelming media choice, personalized viewing experiences present an enduring solution.

Behind the rise of streaming

Audiences are so overwhelmed by content options that many give up on watching altogether.
This highlights an increasing need for personalization and fulfilling content discovery journeys.

Since 2020, the amount of content available to TV viewers has grown by more than 1.1 million individual programs1.

Overwhelmed by choice: 20% say they don’t know what to watch beforehand and couldn’t find something to watch—so they did something else instead2.

The push for change:

Examining LGBTQ+ representation in media and advertising

The trend toward increasing LGBTQ+ representation in media reflects forward progress for the community, but the road ahead is far from smooth. As recent cancellations and shortened series disproportionately affect queer representation on screen, finding LGBTQ+ inclusive content to help carry inclusive brand messaging may prove even more challenging.

The future of marketing is personal, and audience data is critical in an era where people are looking for content—and brands—they can connect with. In this report, Nielsen examines how gender nonconforming audiences  are more comfortable with brands targeting them based on their sexual orientation and/or gender identity than cisgender audiences. 

When it comes to media content, streaming is leading the way. While LGBTQ+ related video content is limited, streaming platforms account for 87% of what’s available. LGBTQ+ audiences view movies and programs on traditional TV as notably more non-inclusive than movies and programs on streaming services—and so do heterosexual audiences.

Other key highlights include:

  • More than 25% of global audiences believe that celebrating inclusivity and sharing positive stories would improve LGBTQ+ inclusivity in ads and content.
  • When audiences did receive targeted advertising based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity, 64% say the products and messaging were relevant. 
  • Streaming platforms account for 87% of what’s available for representative content, with Black LGBTQ+ content leading representation for the community.

The need for consistent measurement in a digital-first landscape

Few changes in the media industry are as defining as audiences’ relationship with television. And the latest evolution capturing audiences’ attention is streaming services, smart TVs, and the content they support. In the U.S. alone, Americans watched 19 million years worth of streaming content in 2022.

So, naturally, brands have adjusted their media strategies: 84% of global marketers say they include streaming channels in their media plans.

The catch? Less than half believe this spending is effective.

In December of 2022, we surveyed 1,524 global marketing professionals to understand how they feel about changing viewing behaviors, the rise of streaming and CTV, and solutions for tracking and proving campaign impact.

Here are four key survey insights:

1

Recession or not, marketers expect ad budgets to grow

Despite 69% of global marketers saying economic conditions had a big impact on planning, 64% expect their budgets to grow.

2

84% of global marketers include streaming in their media planning. Less than half, however, view this spending as effective.

Insight #1

Digital spend edges out other channel investments

For marketers, 2023 was assumed to be an uncertain year, with 69% surveyed for this report saying that the economic conditions had an impact on their planning.

Still, 64% expect their ad budgets to increase this year, with 13% even expecting increases of 50% or more. Much of that growth can be attributed to CTV and streaming.

Anticipated budget changes of 50% or more throughout the year

Anticipated CTV/OTT spending aligns with global trends we’ve been tracking.


In the U.S., 2022 digital video ad spend was up 171% from 2020. 


Across Puerto Rico, Mexico and Brazil, digital ad spend increased 228%* between 2021 and 2022 for a total of US$24.5 billion, with 58%  (US$14.2 billion) allocated to digital video.


In France, Denmark and the U.K., internet-based video spend increased from US$2.3 billion in the first three quarters of 2020 to US$4.2 billion USD in 2022.

*The data reported is derived from the increased coverage of our Ad Intel measurement, which shows greater visibility of actual spending on digital vehicles. (1) Digital activity reporting in Brazil starts in January 2022. (2) PPP and social activity reporting in Puerto Rico starts in May 2022.

Insight #2

Global ad budgets lean into CTV

The increased spend across online video reflects audiences’ shift to streaming in particular.


In the U.S., Americans watched more than 19 million years’ worth of streaming content in 2022.


In Mexico, streaming grew to account for 15.2% of total TV usage as of December 2022.


In Thailand, streaming content reaches more than 50% of the TV audience.


In Australia, 70% of people 14 and older say they use the internet to stream video.

1 Nielsen Streaming Content Ratings and Nielsen National TV panel
2 The Gauge Mexico
3 Thailand Cross-Platform Ratings
4 Australia Consumer and Media View, Q4 2022

Naturally, global marketers are refining their media spend: On average, 32% report allocating 40%-59% of their budgets to CTV, and nearly one-fifth (19%) report shifting 60%-79%.

Global ad budgets are shifting to CTV

Zenith Media forecasts that global online video ad spending will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8% through 2025 to account for 30% of the overall ad market. The company expects advertising on subscription video on demand (SVOD) services to grow at a CAGR of 27.9% to reach US$13.1 billion by 2025.

This is massive momentum. And yet, according to global marketers, the perceived effectiveness of their  CTV/streaming investments is just 49%.

Perceived effectiveness of digital spending by channel

Insight #3

Confidence is low for holistic ROI measurement

Measurable returns will always help marketers make tactical investment decisions, but cross-media ROI measurement challenges have more than half of global marketers (52% on average) focused only on reach and frequency metrics.

Marketers’ approach to cross-media measurement

We are solely focused on reach/frequency
We are focused on both reach/frequency and ROI

One potential cause for the simplified focus is under-utilized marketing technology (martech). Gartner’s 2022 Marketing Technology Survey Insights found that marketers aren’t using their tools as well as they could be: Only 42% of survey respondents said they use the full breadth of their martech capabilities, down from 58% in 2020.

Untapped martech could also explain the gap between marketers’ stated belief in their martech’s ability to measure aggregate ROI (69%) and their reported ROI confidence at the individual channel level, which is much lower.

Confidence in ROI measurement by channel

Insight #4

Channel-specific tools don’t paint the full performance picture

Shaky ROI confidence isn’t all untapped martech’s fault. Several other factors are at play in a crowded media landscape, including:

Many don’t equate campaign success with on-target reach

On average, 40% of global marketers don’t believe understanding cross-platform reach is important when assessing whether campaigns reach their intended audience. In Asia-Pacific, that rises to 47%. Given how fragmented the modern media landscape is, this number is surprising and notable.

Importance of understanding cross-platform reach when measuring success of reaching target audience

Effective reach depends on quality audience data

Quality audience data is at a premium–especially as third-party cookies and mobile advertising IDs (MAIDs) become obsolete. It makes sense then that only 23% of marketers strongly agree that they have the quality audience data they need to get the most out of their media budgets. In Latin America, the percentage is higher, at 26%.

Channel-specific tools deliver isolated insights

Historically, linear and digital measurement have relied on different methodologies. So, understandably, marketers have turned to multiple, channel-specific tools. On average, 62% of marketers globally use multiple measurement solutions to arrive at cross-media measurement, with 14% leveraging four to five. Just 34% report using one platform for cross-measurement needs: 19% have their own proprietary solution, and 15% use a third-party tool.

Approaches used to achieve cross-media measurement

Martech investment is declining

In addition to using less of their martech, marketers now plan to pull back on additional investment in 2023. On average, 24% of global marketers cite reducing martech investments to some degree, with 12% planning cuts of 150% or more.

Planned investment in marketing technology over the next 12 months

As audiences increase their time with digital devices, emerging channels and streaming content, advertisers and agencies will need measurement that provides comparable data across devices and platforms. What’s more, they need accurate data that doesn’t duplicate viewership while audiences constantly toggle between screens. This comprehensive view across linear and digital platforms will deliver a precise look at audience and impact, which should improve their confidence in marketing investments.

The importance of comparable, person-level measurement isn’t lost on global marketers—71% say comparability is extremely or very important in their cross-media measurement. Arriving at comparable, deduplicated measurement, however, remains a challenge.

Confidence in current solutions delivering comparable, deduplicated cross-media measurement

Plenty is vying for marketers’ attention and budgets. The key is knowing what to prioritize, and how.

Our recommendations

1

Beware of underinvesting on brand equity

Marketers are always asked to do more with less, even without threats of a recession. The economic uncertainty, however, adds pressure to protecting brand equity and sharpens the need for efficient, targeted and measured ad spending. Marketers may just have less budget to do it all.

If that wasn’t hard enough, there’s another big consideration: Most brands were already under-spending—by a median of 50%— and losing opportunities to achieve their maximum ROI in 2022. Reducing spending more could hurt ROI even further. It may also have a negative impact on marketers’ top objectives for 2023: customer acquisition and brand awareness.

Top marketing objectives for the 2023

In digital channels where engagement is rising, under-spending is even higher. For example, May 2022 data from Nielsen’s Predictive ROI Database showed that 66% of global media plans were under-invested for digital video. But marketers that close the spending gap and optimize their digital video investments can improve ROI by a median of 51%.

Rampant underspending is preventing maximum ROI

2

Embrace a comparable measurement mindset

Audiences have spoken: Digital video—in all of its forms—is the future of how audiences will engage with content. This shift calls for transformative change in measurement. Marketers know how important comparable metrics are to understand the effectiveness of their ad spending, but they’re still too reliant on tools that give only a limited view of performance. To keep pace with the industry’s future, marketers need tools, solutions and metrics that are media-agnostic.

Impressions, for example, are universally applicable across ads, content and platforms. And subminute measurement, which produces individual commercial metrics, brings linear TV and digital video measurement closer to how digital campaign performance is measured.

On average, 62% of marketers find it hard to know where to use their ad budgets to reach specific audiences. Even more (69%) agree that digital media and audience fragmentation poses significant challenges to reach their target audiences.

Difficulty with OTT/CTV advertising measurement

To be the transformation that marketers want and finally achieve comparable cross-media measurement at the individual level, marketers should prioritize solutions that are focused on delivering measurement that is media agnostic.

3

Increase ROI by reaching more of your target audience

Understanding how campaigns are performing in near real time should be the way forward on the quest for maximum ROI. We hear this a lot: Reach more of the right audience and your ROI will increase. There’s more truth to this statement than many people might realize.

In 2022, Nielsen conducted a study involving 15 brands and 82 digital campaigns in the U.S. to verify the correlation between target reach and campaign ROI. When we combined in-flight target measurements from Nielsen Digital Ad Ratings and outcome metrics from Nielsen Attribution, we found one clear truth: Ads that best reached their intended audience generated significantly higher ROI than those that didn’t.

Tracking the relationship between targeted ads and ROI

The graph above shows three distinct performance clusters with each bubble representing data for one vendor, for one month, on one campaign.

This study revealed key learnings about targeted reach:

Increased campaign reach raises costs and does not guarantee higher campaign ROI

Increased targeted reach will improve campaign ROI

Advertisers can use reach analysis to better understand which audiences to target

Focusing on the most valuable audiences improves efficiency and drives higher ROI

Honing campaign reach is a critical ROI lever. To stave off the complications of fragmented channels and viewerships, marketers need to prioritize measurement solutions that cover all platforms and devices, with near real time insights, so they can capitalize on opportunity and drive impact from the beginning.

Engaging Asian Americans through media

After the triumph of Everything Everywhere All At Once at the Oscars this year, many people from the Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) community were left feeling incredibly proud of that historic night. For one night, the community saw a moment of triumph, for a story and characters that reflected so much of their real-life experiences.

The AANHPI audience has made it clear – through their voices and dollar spend – that they desire for their stories to be seen and heard. Studios and advertisers can tap into the growing value of authentic stories and inclusive representation to engage an audience that is eager to see itself represented on screen. 

In this report, Nielsen explores the media platforms and content that’s drawing Asian Americans. For marketers, content creators and media publishers, we hope you’ll see there is value – and audiences – to be gained when you embrace our community.

Highlights from the report include:

  • AANHPI audiences watch about 27% more streaming content – the platform with the highest AANHPI representation at more than 10% share of screen. 

  • Despite a slight dip in representation from 2021 to 2022, streaming programs are still significantly more inclusive of AANHPI people than other platforms. Streaming had more than twice the representation on broadcast and three times the representation on cable. In addition, Asian-inclusive content is highly bingeable and attracts all audiences beyond AANHPI viewers.

  • Good content appeals to all audiences
    • 91% of AANHPI audiences and 87% of general audiences are open to content featuring people outside of their identity group. 
    • In addition, the report shows high bingeability scores of Asian-led content across top streaming platforms and opportunities for advertisers to better engage AANHPI audiences. 

  • Advertising in Asian-led content delivers value
    • AANHPI audiences are 46% more likely than the total population to buy from brands that advertise in inclusive content.
    • In 2022 brands in the fashion, pet care, electronics and travel categories allocated a significant portion of their advertising budget toward content that features and appeals to the AANHPI community. These are also the categories where Asian Americans are spending more than the general population.

As the media industry works towards becoming more inclusive, Nielsen’s 2022 Being Seen on Screen report provides a benchmark for measuring representation on TV. We have expanded our dataset from the Top 300 to over 3,000 shows in broadcast, cable and streaming. We have included more diverse communities, most recently, people with disabilities. We have also looked at some case studies exploring how investing in more inclusive programs is good for business — for advertisers or media publishers.

With this report, we seek to provide a deeper understanding of how to be more inclusive in TV programming and connect with the valuable audiences who want to watch meaningful content. 

“Being seen for who we really are is an important step in inclusion. The next step is learning about others through the stories we see and hear.”

Creating informed, thoughtful and authentic experiences

Black buying power in the U.S. is estimated to grow to $1.98 trillion by 20251. And while most brands acknowledge that Black consumers are critical to their growth and cultural relevance, earning Black consumers’ business can prove challenging as Black people around the world become more discerning of how, where and when brands are targeting them.

To make inroads with Black audiences, brands and advertisers are investing heavily. But all those dollars will be ill-spent if campaigns don’t resonate with audiences, or worse, turn them away with representation that misses the mark. 

In this report, we explore recommendations for brands and advertisers to create connections within the Black community, and how to engage Black talent from the ground up in order to create informed, thoughtful and authentic experiences for Black consumers.

In addition to influencing the entertainment landscape, Latinos are voracious consumers of entertainment and media, as evidenced by their outsized appetites for streaming content. From a media and entertainment perspective, streaming has become the predominant way all people watch television, and this could not be more true than it is for the Latino community.

While all audiences are leaning into streaming, the story is more pronounced for Hispanic audiences, as 43.6% of Latinos’ total TV viewing in July 2022 was attributed to streaming platforms. And while seemingly endless choice attracts this audience, many Hispanics feel that accurate representation is in decline.

In addition to highlighting the voracious streaming appetites of Hispanic audiences, this report provides the findings from a first-of-its-kind analysis that showcase the impact of representation in media, both on camera and behind it. Importantly, the findings show that Hispanic-inclusive content attracts audiences, inspires them to spend more time within a platform and actually increases a program’s bingeworthiness.
