Topical Communities

What are egta Communities?

egta Communities are collaborative forums where experts from member TV/video and radio/audio sales houses come together to exchange practical knowledge, share use cases, and build strategic perspectives on topics that matter to the industry. They aren’t fixed structures. They’re created ad hoc, shaped by what members need and want at any given time.

Each community gives members a space to explore concrete applications, benchmark approaches, and tackle shared challenges together, whether that’s technology and business integration, standardisation, governance, or measurement methodologies.

The format and rhythm of each community varies depending on its purpose and how members want to engage with it. Most meet once every two months through regular online sessions. Some meet more or less often, depending on how active the topic is. Others take the shape of expert groups: smaller, more focused gatherings that convene for just a few sessions to dig into a specific issue in depth before wrapping up once the objective is met.

AI in advertising

egta’s AI Community brings together experts from egta member TV/video and radio/audio sales houses to exchange practical knowledge, use cases, and strategic perspectives on AI in media monetisation. The community serves as a collaborative forum where members explore concrete applications across the value chain, while addressing shared challenges such as tech and business integrations, standardisation, and governance. Through monthly meetings, dedicated working sessions, and ongoing knowledge-sharing, the AI Community enables members to benchmark approaches, identify emerging opportunities, and accelerate adoption in a responsible and business-driven way.

Sustainability in advertising

The advertising world is waking up to its environmental responsibilities, and the aim of our sustainability community is to participate in that transition. This group connects industry experts and our members who have been put in charge by their management to implement sustainable practices and adapt them to the realities of their broadcasters and sales houses. Through regular online meetings, we exchange ideas and tackle diverse challenges related to sustainability in advertising. We explore everything from calculators and frameworks for energy-efficient techniques to carbon-conscious media delivery, responsible consumption messaging, or creative campaigns to promote green products.

Outcomes measurement

Outcomes measurement is the practice of demonstrating advertising’s real business impact, moving beyond reach and frequency to track what audiences actually do after exposure, connecting ad viewing to behaviours such as searching for a brand, visiting a website, or making a purchase. egta’s Outcomes measurement community helps data scientists, analysts, researchers, and other experts navigate this shift at scale within their broadcasters and sales houses, sharing insights through regular meetings on methodologies, attribution frameworks, performance metrics, client reporting, and the tools that make measurement work in practice.

Dynamic ad replacement on TV

Ad replacement (or dynamic ad insertion) is the practice of replacing individual ads, or full ad breaks, within a live linear TV feed with digitally served ads, delivered via OTT, telco boxes, or HbbTV, allowing broadcasters to offer more targeted, addressable advertising at scale. egta’s Ad Replacement Expert Group brought together members already deploying, or investing in, this technology, meeting in February and April to benchmark market practices around measurement, pricing and commercial packaging, and operational and technical efficiency, including interoperability and the vendor landscape.
