About

Leading independent specialist in interactive CTV advertising, operating across major streaming platforms as a neutral technology layer

Brightline is an independent connected-TV (CTV) interactive advertising technology company headquartered in New York. Its platform lets advertisers and brands move beyond passive video ads with interactive, engaging ad experiences, and its ad formats run across major CTV platforms — including Roku, Samsung, Amazon, Apple, Xbox, and PlayStation — through distribution partnerships. Brightline is privately held and venture-backed (investors include JMI Equity and Pivotal Capital Partners). As of 2026 it remains an independent vendor and has not been acquired; Roku is a distribution partner rather than an owner.
