"It takes less than three seconds for people to have a gut reaction," said Tricia Allen, VP Business Development at Reticle AI.

“Retailers can leverage emotional AI to target audiences in connected TV ads.  CTV ad spend is forcast to outpace regular TV ad spend.  Just in June, companies spent a record one billion dollars advertising on connected TV.”
