Streaming TV and Media Advertising
In today’s landscape, cord-cutting has become commonplace, with households opting out of traditional cable or satellite TV services. Instead, they embrace a variety of OTT (Over-The-Top) platforms for their entertainment. Given the expense of multiple media subscriptions, many users turn to free ad-supported options for some of their services. Streaming Ads offer distinct advantages compared to conventional TV.
Benefits of Streaming TV Ads

Traditional TV ads guess their audience, while OTT enables precise targeting using user demographics and interests.
Non-Skippable
OTT ads require full views, ensuring guaranteed impressions, unlike platforms allowing ad skipping.
IP-Based Delivery
OTT ads use IP-based delivery, accessing valuable user data for enhanced targeting.
User-Control
Viewers control when they watch, offering optimal opportunities to reach them with ads before, during, and after their favorite shows.
