Your Customers Have Cut The Cord. Are You Still Reaching Them?

Michelle Resendes - October 9, 2025

Advertising your local Cape Cod business should never be a guessing game. With local providers now forcing you to buy into the Boston market when you only want to reach the Mid-Cape or a few towns on the Cape, you're paying for broad, untargeted reach, with much of your ad spend reaching an irrelevant audience. And yes, there is a better way!


With digital targeting, CCB Media can help you determine potential customers with behavioral targeting and then serve your video ads only to those households that show interest in the product or service you offer.

What is Behavioral Targeting?


Behavioral targeting is an advertising strategy that uses data about a consumer’s online and offline behaviors—such as websites visited, searches made, content viewed, stores visited and even purchase history—to deliver ads that are relevant to their interests and needs.


So, it’s no coincidence that when you search for ‘flooring store near me’ into Google that Flooring Ads will begin to follow you as a consumer. We’ve all experienced this on our phones, but how does it work with Connected TVs?


Long gone are the days when you must buy TV ads based solely on a network or demographic of an entire channel. Essentially, we’re utilizing the same data to identify a potential customer’s smart device or IP address, then serving those ads while that consumer is watching their favorite TV programs.


For example, if Steve and Sarah are both watching the same new documentary on Apple TV, they will each see different ads during each commercial break: personalized ads, tailored to their own interests.


What is Connected TV?


Connected TV refers to streaming video content on a television set, whether through a Smart TV or a connected device like a Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, or gaming console.


CTV advertising delivers targeted video ads to this audience, offering the visual impact of TV with the precision of digital marketing.



Why choose CTV over traditional cable?


Precision targeting (behavioral targeting)


Instead of relying on broad demographics, CTV allows for hyper-targeted campaigns based on actual viewer behavior. We can target your ideal audience based on:


  • Viewing habits: Do they watch cooking shows or sports?
  • Interests: Are they new parents or fitness enthusiasts?
  • Online behavior: Have they recently visited a competitor's website or browsed for specific products?


This ensures your ad is shown to viewers genuinely interested in your product or service, significantly reducing wasted ad spend.


Maximum reach on premium networks


Your customers have cut the cord and moved to streaming, and your ad strategy should follow suit. We place your ads on all the major networks your customers watch, including Roku, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Hulu, HBO Max, Paramount+, ESPN and more. This reaches the "cord-cutters" that traditional cable can't, extending your reach to a growing and engaged audience.


The guesswork of traditional TV is gone. With CTV, you can see exactly how your campaigns are performing in real-time. Key metrics include:


  • Video completion rates: See what percentage of viewers watch your entire ad.
  • Attribution: Track conversions to see if a viewer visited your website or storefront after seeing your ad.
  • Track QR scans via Google Analytics and/or link your Google My Business Profile to CCB Media’s reporting in order to track increases in specific

conversions month over month, such as ‘click to call’ or ‘click for direction’ buttons located on your GMB business profile.


Don't let rigid cable providers dictate how you advertise. Shift your budget to a smarter, more effective strategy. Ready to reach the right people without wasting your budget?

The New Rules of Search: How to Future-Proof Your Local SEO Right Now
By Greg Swiszcz - February 11th, 2026 February 11, 2026
Key takeaways: · Engagement matters before purchase - Attention and interaction are early buying signals. · Relevance beats reach - Personalization cuts through noise. · Confidence drives conversion - Address hesitation at the right moment. · Connected marketing wins - Unified experiences build loyalty. Remember when marketing was simple? You put up a billboard, punched a target demo into some platform, and hoped for the best. Yeah — those days are gone. Today, consumer behavior isn’t just shifting — it’s evolving in ways that make a lot of old playbooks feel downright obsolete. The 2026 Predictions: Consumer Trends Shaping the Marketing Landscape (link to: https://cdn.sanity.io/files/b7pblshe/marketing-prod/d4cac01cc22b6d545997b901f47d2966feba2e80.pdf ) report lays out four big patterns shaping how people engage with brands — and here’s the kicker: these trends aren’t squirreled away in some ivory-tower slide deck. They’re happening now — and the brands that adapt early will own the next wave of customer loyalty and growth. But understanding trends isn’t the same as reaching them. That’s where three modern tools come in: Social Mirror , Mobile Conquesting , and Website Visitor ID — and together they’re a marketer’s playbook for taking trends off the page and into reality. Let’s unpack how this all works — without the jargon and marketing buzzwords.

Native Ads – When and Why to Use Them?
By Tracey Geary January 15, 2026
Key Takeaways: · Meta advertising continues to deliver strong ROI for the right brands because it combines unmatched scale, rich first‑party data, and machine‑learning optimization across the full funnel. · Facebook and Instagram are still heavily used by adults with purchasing power—especially parents, homeowners, and decision‑makers—and Meta remains one of the most effective platforms for driving awareness, engagement, and measurable action when paired with the right creative and strategy. You’ve heard it: “Meta doesn’t work anymore.” The reality is more nuanced. Meta still works exceptionally well—but not for everyone, and certainly not in the same way it did in 2018. The brands seeing consistent success on Meta today understand how the platform’s machine learning operates, what types of businesses it is built to serve, and which audiences continue to respond strongly across Meta’s ecosystem. Just as importantly, Meta is far more than “just Facebook.” Meta is the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Threads , rebranded to Meta in 2021 to reflect a broader focus on immersive digital experiences and the future of connection. When marketers dismiss Meta, they often overlook the scale, data depth, and intent signals that make it one of the most powerful advertising environments available.

Every advertisement begins with an idea or a concept that ultimately requires a solution to bring it to fruition. Time and costs are driving forces in the decision process. Every interaction has the potential to add time and cost to the overall project, making the path to the final product more complex. Controlling as much of the creation process as possible tightens timelines and reduces costs. Having the ability to do graphic design and video editing in-house enables us to elevate the process and direct focus toward the solution rather than additional logistics like meetings and communications. Our Marketing Consultants work directly with our Graphic Designer in real time to convey and perfect the client’s ideas into visual mockups that can quickly be delivered for client review. Changes and edits can be fast-tracked into the project, letting the client review stages in real time. This creates a streamlined and efficient process since the client is part of the ongoing process rather than only seeing a final cut. With this approach we can be nimble and work with a wider variety of clients. Large businesses may have in-house designers that we can work in tandem with, but having our own in-house designer allows us to offer a high level of service to smaller companies who may not have those resources. We pride ourselves on being able to work with local Mom & Pop businesses as well as larger national firms. Consistency is another feature of a close working relation between Marketing, Sales, and Design. As projects move forward, the teams become very familiar with your brand and how to represent it consistently across multiple media from print and digital to video. As the client’s relationship grows with us, we have a track record of representing their brand in a variety of formats.  Coming together as a team to bring a concept to life, lets us put our best efforts and deliver a high-quality product. Having an in-house design team helps keep timelines short and costs down.
