Connected TV (CTV) in Mankato, Minnesota
The impact of television, with the precision of digital.
What Connected TV looks like in Mankato
Broadcast TV in Mankato means buying the whole Mankato market to reach Mankato's 18,075 households. Connected TV is bought by household and ZIP code instead, so the plan can be drawn around Mankato rather than the whole market.
A $2,500 month buys roughly 117,575 to 140,850 impressions at our planner's delivery rates. Mankato has about 15,837 homes with broadband, so that budget could show the ad in every one of them about 8 times. That is more than one town needs, so a test here is normally drawn wider: Mankato's own ZIP codes plus neighbouring Minneapolis and Burnsville, so the money reaches new homes rather than the same ones again.
Budget a single-market test at $2,500 to $5,000 a month in media; less cannot build the frequency to judge it.
Most of Mankato is a single ZIP code, 56001, with 20,350 households. ZIP targeting alone cannot split the city, so a Mankato plan is drawn by radius or neighbourhood instead.
| ZIP | Households | Broadband | Median income | Covers it 3–5× |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 56001 | 20,350 | 88% | $69,531 | $953–$1.9k/mo |

Why connected TV (CTV) works here
Mankato's 45,473 residents are served by an economy built on higher education, healthcare, agriculture and regional retail. A healthcare workforce keeps hours a nine-to-five media plan does not account for, which changes when they are reachable and on what.
Connected TV puts a full-screen, unskippable ad in front of Mankato households and reports exactly which ones saw it. For a market of 45,473, that difference between estimated and measured reach is not academic.

Connected TV (CTV) in Mankato
Why does Mankato need a different plan from Minneapolis?
Because the households are different: the median home is worth $261,700 in Mankato and $362,200 in Minneapolis. A plan copied from Minneapolis would spend the same money on a different audience.
What does connected TV (CTV) cost in Mankato?
A $2,500 month is enough for all of Mankato: its 15,837 broadband homes would each see the ad about 8 times. So the budget question here is really how far beyond Mankato to go. We show the household count and the frequency for each option before anything runs.
Can you target just Mankato?
Yes, though not by ZIP code alone: 56001 covers most of Mankato and runs past its edges, so we draw Mankato by radius instead.
Do you work with businesses in Mankato?
Yes. Our office is in Hamel, in Medina, about 63 miles from Mankato in a straight line, and we plan Greater Minnesota campaigns for the local market rather than the metro's.
