A sponsored analysis from May 20, 2026, by Blake Hebert (Premion) summarizes major themes from the POSSIBLE event and related industry conversations: AI is shifting from promise to practical campaign execution (particularly real-time optimization and creative optimization), streaming TV targeting is becoming more signal-driven through bidstream and contextual signals, and omnichannel/converged buying models are becoming the default for managing video budgets. The piece cites Premion research showing gaps between advertiser expectations and available AI capabilities (58% value real-time optimization; 44% expect wide availability in 2026) and notes that integrated or hybrid teams now control 55% of CTV budgets, underscoring operational shifts in how advertisers manage streaming TV within broader media strategies.
