Making a Good Impression (or Three): CTV Co-Viewing

On July 14, 2026 ctv, podcast, Video

In this episode of the IAB Australia podcast, host Gai Le Roy, CEO of IAB Australia, is joined by Luke Smith, Senior Director - CTV/OTT and Online Video, APAC at PubMatic, and Katie Finney, National Television Sales Director at Southern Cross Media Group, to discuss PubMatic's new report, How Co-Viewing Redefines Attention, and what it means for how CTV is planned, bought and measured.


The data shows co-viewed impressions deliver 42% higher attention, 53% stronger recall, and audiences 70% more likely to act, yet CTV is still traded like a 1:1 digital impression. Luke and Katie unpack the missed opportunity on high co-viewing days, why pricing should reflect context and audience, and where measurement needs to go next.
