Imagine’s ADS ad decision service is used by cable, satellite and telco providers to increase monetization by providing targeted opportunities to advertisers and enhancing customer engagement. The service considers criteria such as the current content being viewed, user preferences, customer data and business rules for multiscreen to determine which advertisement is to be inserted into a program (entertainment content).
ADS is ideally suited for two use cases:
- Ad decisions for ‘linear simulcast OTT streams’ for Imagine’s OTT Monetization solution, ingesting ad pools from scheduling systems such as Imagine’s Novar, Eclipse and Broadcast Master systems.
- Ad decisions for Imagine’s Linear Monetization solution, providing regional targeting and higher revenue for programmers’ primary distribution.
Incorporating spot optimization information from the campaign management system and key data from delivery components, ADS provides a single point of entry and data collection across the dynamic ad insertion workflow — enabling a cohesive ecosystem for sales, execution, and analysis.
