This year, HbbTV hybrid broadcasting celebrates ten years since the phenomenon appeared on the Czech market. Since then, HbbTV has come a long way and has become an essential part of the modern TV world. The HbbTV platform combines the best of TV and the Internet and is rightly one of the most popular technologies that enable viewers to enjoy an even greater viewing experience. The world beyond the red button opens the gateway to more content on the big screen.
The popularity of this digital technology is evidenced by the fact that the number of HbbTV viewers continues to grow year on year. But HbbTV also offers many benefits for advertisers. More effective targeting and better ad campaign reach in the form of Max reach extends the reach of a TV campaign to those devices that have not seen the TV spot. With this information, the red HbbTV button only targets specific devices according to this condition.
That’s why this month’s ScreenVoice magazine features a new article dedicated specifically to HbbTV and the innovative ad formats made possible by this platform. In the selection of inspiring articles in the “Read about the topic” section, you will find those about HbbTV on the Czech market and around the world.
