Connected TV (CTV) advertising isn't just for big brands anymore—it's an emerging frontier for nonprofits to tell their stories on the biggest screen in the house.  Kris Johns, CEO and founder of AdGood, shared how his organization is unlocking unused, high-quality streaming ad space for nonprofits—at up to 70% off market rates.AdGood works directly with major publishers and platforms to collect unfilled “ad slates” (those silent filler moments you see while streaming) and make them available exclusively to nonprofits. “We sit at the bottom of the ad stack,” Kris explains, “so anything they don't fill, we get access to.” This programmatic approach allows nonprofits to run CTV campaigns with the same flexibility and robust reporting as they would on Meta or Google—except now, they're on television.CTV offers a unique blend: the emotional impact of a full-screen, in-home experience with the precise targeting of digital marketing. Nonprofits can target down to a single ZIP code, choose dayparts, and even adjust campaigns mid-flight for maximum return. It's an opportunity to put your mission front and center while supporters are engaged with content they love.For organizations without in-house production capabilities, AdGood has built a self-serve AI-powered ad generator. In just minutes, nonprofits can create a 30-second, TV-ready spot by entering their website URL, swapping images or scripts, and even translating into 30+ languages. Ads can be hyper-local (with a budget starting at just $250) or scaled nationally with managed services.Kris emphasizes that this isn't just about filling empty ad space—it's about empowering nonprofits with tools and access they've historically been priced out of. AdGood is also piloting full attribution reporting to track which viewers saw an ad, visited a nonprofit's site, and ultimately donated.From small-town initiatives to nationwide campaigns, the flexibility and affordability of CTV through AdGood could change how nonprofits think about media. As Kris puts it, “Our goal is to turn marketing from a cost center to a profit center for nonprofits.”Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

We explore the changing nature of shared cultural experiences, from the era of must-see TV to today's fragmented media landscape. This led us to ponder the value of communal viewing experiences and how streaming platforms might evolve to foster more connection.We then dove into a fascinating discussion on design, art, and the objects that surround us. Inspired by Bruno Munari's book "Design as Art," we contemplated the intersection of form and function, the concept of "quintessence" in everyday items, and the importance of creating beautiful, purposeful objects. This naturally flowed into an examination of our own collections, particularly focusing on typewriters.We wrapped up by reflecting on the emotional connections we form with certain objects, whether due to their design, provenance, or the memories they evoke. We considered how surrounding ourselves with meaningful, well-crafted items can fuel creativity and spark joy in our daily lives. Ultimately, we celebrated the beauty found in both the cutting-edge and the vintage, recognizing that true artistry transcends time and medium. -AI If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.
