77% of brands are increasing their TV budgets in 2026.
What are you planning to do?
- Streaming is exploding, opening more ad-supported inventory than ever…
- AI is maturing, helping with efficiency, planning, and insights…
- And measurement is now making it possible to see what’s actually working across both linear and streaming.
With 2026 shaping up to be one of the biggest years for TV in recent memory, how will you make it all work without overspending or missing the moments that matter?
We pulled together a quick (well, relatively quick) 15-minute guide with everything you need to navigate 2026 — from budgeting and buying strategies to a quarter-by-quarter look at the year’s key moments.
If TV is part of your plan next year, this is a must-read!

At some point, performance marketers hit a ceiling.
CPCs go up. Competition floods in. And suddenly "just spend more on search" isn't a strategy anymore.
@Saatva hit that wall. So they made a bet on TV, built a measurement model to track it, and came out the other side with a business that could predict revenue from impressions.
Saatva CMO Joe McCambley and Tatari's Mauricio Lizarazu broke down exactly how they did it at ANA Brand Masters.

A good reminder that how you buy streaming looks nothing like it did two years ago. And it may look even more different by this time next year.

50 ideas. 16 teams. 16 projects on the roadmap. 3 features already live.
That's what happens when you structure a hackathon like a product sprint, not a demo day.
At Tatari, AI isn't a buzzword we slapped onto a press release. We've been using machine learning to power TV measurement and performance for 9 years. So when we ran our first AI hackathon, the goal wasn't to experiment. It was to deliver.
And that's exactly what we did.
The features that emerged are already helping brands strengthen their TV campaigns.

Prime Day is basically the Super Bowl for impulse purchases.
But for advertisers, it might also be one of the most efficient times to run TV.
Tatari analyzed 4 brands and found TV-attributed @amazon CPAs were up to 64% lower during Prime Day than the days immediately after.
TV didn’t need to create demand from scratch. It just needed to help shoppers decide what to buy.

Most advertisers still sleep on @WWE.
That's a mistake.
Audiences crave it: 525 million hours of WWE content watched on @netflix in year one alone.
Networks want it: @espn just paid $1.6 billion to make it the home of every major WWE event.
Advertisers are pinning down real results: Just look at the impact it gave brands like @tecovas, @Fabletics, and @ridgewallet.
The results are in the data. And that's the bottom line...
