5 terms

connected tv technical

"a new CTV advertising solution - powered by Innovid"

A connected TV is a television that can access the internet and run online apps, streaming services, and digital content directly on the screen, much like a giant tablet or computer. For investors, it matters because it represents a shift in how people consume media, opening new opportunities for advertising, content creation, and revenue growth in the entertainment industry.

performance restricted stock units financial

"vesting of previously granted performance restricted stock units (PRSUs)."

Performance restricted stock units (PRSUs) are promises to deliver company shares to employees or executives only if the business meets specific performance targets and any time-based holding rules. Think of them as a bonus that converts into stock only after set goals are reached, so investors watch PRSUs for two reasons: they can dilute existing shares if paid out, and they signal how closely management’s pay is tied to company performance.

schedule 13g regulatory

"[SCHEDULE 13G] OMNICOM GROUP INC. Passive Investment Disclosure (>5%)"

A Schedule 13G is a formal document that investors file with the government when they acquire a large ownership stake in a company, usually for investment purposes rather than control. It helps keep the public informed about who owns significant parts of a company's shares, which can influence how the company is managed and how investors make decisions. Filing this schedule is important for transparency and understanding the ownership landscape of publicly traded companies.

shared voting power regulatory

"The filing shows shared voting power of 22,420,320 shares"

Shared voting power occurs when two or more parties jointly have the right to vote or decide how a block of company shares is cast, like co-owners who must agree before moving a piece of furniture. Investors care because who controls voting rights affects board elections, major corporate decisions and takeover outcomes, and shared control can alter regulatory disclosures and the practical influence any holder has over a company’s direction and value.

dispositive power regulatory

"shared dispositive power of 27,760,218 shares held by the reporting persons."

Dispositive power is the authority to decide the final outcome of an asset, legal claim, contract, or corporate action — in effect the power to dispose of or resolve something. For investors it matters because whoever holds that authority can determine who gets paid, who controls an asset or vote, and how risks and returns are allocated; think of it like holding the key that lets you lock in the winner or loser in a deal.

Innovative Solution Reduces Ad Repetition, Improves Personalization 
Across Both VOD and Live Sports & Entertainment

Announcement continues Omnicom Media's Cannes News Blitz Revealing First-Mover Collaborations That Connect Brand Content to Platform Programming, Viewing Experiences and Consumer Expectations

CANNES, France, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Omnicom Media, an Omnicom (NYSE: OMC) Connected Capability, and Disney Advertising are collaborating on a new CTV advertising solution - powered by Innovid, and enabled by Omnicom -  that can trigger dynamic delivery of new advertising content in both video on demand and live sports & entertainment experiences that both reduces ad repetition and improves personalization.

Through this collaboration, Omnicom Media and Disney Advertising are meeting consumer expectations by enabling smarter frequency management and sequential storytelling that delivers the right message at the right moment and stronger outcomes for marketers.

The solution grew out of findings from two recent studies from Omnicom Media Intelligence. With "Why Frequency Matters: Combating Negative Reach," OM revealed that while overexposure to the same ad created "negative reach" – the point at which repeated impressions frustrate consumers and damage brand perception, consumers did not have an issue with seeing ads from the same brand with different creative executions.  These findings were further validated in its latest report - "Connected Content" – in which OM examined consumer sentiment around the state of advertising and explored what drives engagement across content and delivery experiences. When asked how they would improve advertising, approximately half of all respondents cited "less repetition" as a primary way that advertising needs to improve.

"Omnicom Media and Disney Advertising are helping brands get better outcomes from their investment in premium streaming content and live sports & entertainment," said Omnicom Media Chief Product Officer Megan Pagliuca. "Instead of the risk of consumers seeing the same message over and over, advertisers can now move beyond the repetitive cycle with dynamic delivery of sequential storytelling that advances the customer journey." 

How It Works

By understanding audience exposure by session, advertisers can deliver a sequence of complementary creative messages — across 15-, 30-, and 60-second formats — that build on one another to guide consumers through a brand story, product narrative, or customer journey. The result is a more relevant advertising experience that preserves the benefits of frequency while reducing the fatigue and frustration often associated with seeing the same ad creative repeatedly.

By combining Disney's premium content, engaged audiences and proprietary Audience Graph with Omnicom's Acxiom identity solution and Innovid's creative sequencing technology, this collaboration works to deliver a more sophisticated approach to storytelling, with advanced measurement built in.

In addition, for video on demand activations, Disney Advertising is using artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze the content of programming, allowing marketers to initiate brand messaging with contextual relevance.

Using Omnicom's Omni Video Content measurement tool, advertisers can understand how sequential storytelling influences engagement, reach, frequency, and business results.

The collaboration underscores the growing industry focus on balancing advertising effectiveness with viewer experience as streaming platforms mature and advertisers look for more advanced ways to manage exposure, creative sequencing, and engagement across connected TV environments.

"As streaming technology continues to advance, brands have new opportunities to tell stories that evolve with each impression," said Jamie Power, SVP, Addressable Sales, Disney Advertising. "Rather than delivering the same message repeatedly, advertisers can use each exposure to build on a narrative, introduce new ideas, and deepen consumer engagement. That's a fundamentally more powerful approach to storytelling and one that creates more value for both consumers and marketers."

The capability is currently live in the US, with EU launching late in 2026 and LATAM following.
