In the second Spotlight blog, we will reveal the data behind the best CTV app in the May edition of the Publisher Trust Index in North America. Hulu’s position on the CTV ad market is admirable. Along with the highest programmatic ad revenue and one of the broadest reach, Hulu also distinguishes itself by providing one of the best ad quality.
The app achieved first place in the Publisher Trust Indexes for both Roku and Amazon Fire TV with excellent and versatile performance across all measured metrics.
In Roku ranking, Hulu scored more than 90 across all measured metrics. It is the only app, along with NewsOn, making this achievement. Hulu scored the perfect 99 in Popularity and Ad Density metrics, while in the Invalid Traffic category, it was a very high 96. Only five apps in the CTV top 100 obtained more than 96 in this classification.
Amazon Fire TV classification is even better for Hulu. As the only app achieved at least 96 across all measured metrics, including the maximum of 99 in three of them - Popularity, Ad Density, and Engagement. Only Pluto TV scored 99 in three categories.
