Geoff Green (TTD CEO) reported that linaer TV advertising is projected to fall 41% in the US this year, and connected TV (CTV) will pass linear TV in terms of reach for the first time in history. Geoff also reported Trade Desk's programmatic advertising revenue bottomed in Mid April, and has been steadily improving since then.
Advertisers need to be more strategic / targeted and will need to increasae spending as America re-opens. Some states will open earlier than others, and blanket advertising will not be effective. This situation plays into programmatic advetisings strengths.
What does this mean for EN1? the short term future is very uncertain, but what is clear, COVID-19 has accelerated the decline of LTV, and the primacy of CTV and programmatic advertising. This plays well into EN1's business model. But in contrast to Trade Desk's balance sheet, EN1's balance sheet is weak.
Has EN1 seen the worst conditions, or is going to get worse? Will EN1 make it to the other side to benefit?
