The best marketers in 2026 aren’t doubling down on search and social. They’re expanding into TV.
Daniel sits down with Matt Giannetti, Senior Director and Head of Platform at Tatari, to break down how modern TV actually works and why more Performance Marketers are starting to shift budget there in 2026.
From why streaming alone is not enough, to why DSPs are not the same as a true TV platform, Matt unpacks the biggest myths that still keep marketers from using TV the right way.
They also dive into how brands should think about TV at different growth stages, why free media credits are not always a win, and what brands need to test first before making TV a real part of their media mix.
If you’re a Marketer trying to understand where smart brands are actually moving budget (and how to make TV measurable, efficient, and performance-driven) this is the episode for YOU.
Tatari helps brands run TV like a modern performance channel. Unlike most platforms that focus only on programmatic CTV, Tatari gives marketers access to all of TV – linear, streaming, programmatic CTV, and direct publisher inventory – in one platform. By combining premium inventory with transparent reporting and outcome-based measurement, Tatari lets growth teams evaluate TV the same way they evaluate paid search or paid social. The result: more control, better reach, and TV spend that can actually be tied back to business results. Learn more at http://bit.ly/40kwEAQ
