Connected TV Platform

Connected TV platforms enable advertisers to reach audiences on television sets through internet-connected devices and streaming services. Publishers, broadcasters, and streaming services use these platforms to monetize their content through advertising, while advertisers and agencies use them to plan, buy, and measure campaigns targeting specific audiences across television screens. The category encompasses both supply-side infrastructure that helps content providers manage and sell ad inventory, and demand-side tools that allow advertisers to programmatically purchase placements. These platforms leverage first-party data, viewership signals, and audience targeting capabilities to deliver ads within streaming content, often providing measurement and attribution alongside transaction functionality.
