Google Display Network averages $0.98 CPC and $4.55 CPM. OTT (Over-The-Top) is bought on CPM only, averaging $36.40. Analysis for Norway in 2026.
Norway is the most expensive market in this dataset on a CPM basis, running roughly 30% above US baselines. The drivers are small population (~5.5M), extremely high disposable income, and unusually strong digital media consumption. Google and Meta lead, but Schibsted's grip on Norwegian premium inventory is even stronger than in Sweden — VG, Aftenposten, and Finn.no collectively reach virtually every Norwegian adult monthly. Smartphone and broadband penetration are world-leading. Norwegian consumers are price-comfortable but discerning, and creative quality expectations are high. Datatilsynet (Norwegian DPA) is among Europe's most assertive on adtech, having issued notable rulings against Meta's behavioral advertising practices.

Connected TV and streaming platforms (Hulu, Roku, etc.)
The auction, the creative, the budget floor — the three things you actually need to know before picking a platform.
GDN buys impressions across 2M+ publisher sites via a real-time auction. You can bid CPC or CPM depending on the campaign goal. CPCs are 4–7x lower than search, but conversion rates are also lower — it's a top-of-funnel channel, not a decision-point channel.
Responsive Display Ads: 15 images (1200×628 landscape, 1200×1200 square, 1200×1500 portrait), 5 logos, 5 short headlines (30ch), 5 long headlines (90ch), 5 descriptions (90ch). Google auto-assembles.
$30–75/day gets a display campaign to statistical signal, though retargeting audiences reach signal faster and are the recommended entry point for smaller budgets.
OTT (Hulu, Peacock, Roku, Samsung TV+, etc.) is bought exclusively on CPM with 15- and 30-second video creative. Rates run $25–40 CPM — the highest of any digital channel — because inventory is finite premium video and the ROAS story is measured against linear TV, not against Facebook.
15s or 30s video, 1920×1080 (16:9), broadcast-quality mastering. No skippable formats. Most platforms require closed captions and mezzanine-file delivery through demand-side platforms.
OTT has a real budget floor: most DSPs require $5K–10K/month minimum, and to reach reliable frequency in a metro DMA you need $15K+/month per platform.
