Eliminate campaign silos

As your viewers shift from linear to CTV, you’re probably finding that using separate ad tech stacks for each platform is driving down profitability. Not only are CPMs lower for CTV, but costs for two operating teams are higher. Get your revenues back on track by consolidating workflows and inventory to reach both linear and CTV audiences with the same campaign.

Shift to premium vs. non-premium fulfillment

Merging streaming and linear inventory allows a shift to a premium vs. non-premium fulfillment model. Sell premium inventory directly to boost revenue with the highest CPMs, while automating non-premium fulfillment to reduce costs, maximizing profitability across the board.
