Contextual CTV offering adds new levels of accuracy, scale, and transparency, aligning expectations with modern digital marketing.
New York – November 17, 2020 –
Peer39, a global independent cookie-free data and intelligence company, today launched a cookie-free contextual planning and targeting tool set for connected TV (CTV) advertising. For the very first time, CTV buyers can now utilize Peer39’s contextual analysis to understand the programming surrounding CTV ad impressions, giving them deeper insights for contextually planning, targeting and activating CTV campaigns.
This evolutionary step in CTV ad targeting gives buyers more data and intelligence on inventory, helping solve CTV’s primary issues of fragmentation, transparency, inefficient buying, and insufficient contextual information around inventory. This new method for targeting inventory should help bring rapid expansion to an already growing CTV marketplace.
Advertisers will now have access to a new suite of signals that go beyond the technical attributes, like device type or bandwidth speed, they have access to now through buying technologies. The Peer39 solution brings contextual intelligence and structure to this emerging environment, giving brands consistent, uniform and scalable contextual data and segmentation intelligence for buyers who previously had to deal with disparate sets of data for targeting and optimizing their buys.
The industry’s-first pre-bid contextual CTV offering is currently available to advertisers buying CTV inventory through Xandr, MediaMath and Amobee to start. Verizon Media and Centro’s Basis will be added later in Q4, with additional integrations planned for early 2021.
“CTV advertising has experienced dramatic growth, but thus far has lacked a lot of the modern targeting tactics digital marketers have come to expect and depend on,” said Alex White, COO of Peer39. “By applying our contextual intelligence tool set, advertisers will better understand how contextual CTV can perform with the new levels of targeting, scale and transparency needed to further accelerate this channel.”
