Better Categorization Helps Buyers Targeting Your Inventory
Peer39's data normalization aligns CTV publisher content to the categories advertisers need, directly integrated with DSPs. Advertisers discover and target publisher content based on content-level data for genres, ratings, content warnings and advisories -- and custom keywords for descriptions, actors, directors, teams, and sport venues.
Consistent Categorization
Across publishers and environments
Peer39 gives CTV Publishers the power of consistency of content categorization across ad servers, SSPs, FAST distributors, streaming platforms, DSPs, OEMs, and everywhere buyers target inventory.
Compare Comedy as a category with the additional Content ID-enabled genres. Publisher inventory is categorized to maximize buyer discovery and targeting in DSPs.

Safety for CTV Buyers and Sellers
Fraud-free inventory for advertisers
Peer39 provides solutions tied directly to actual content, not self-declared categories or blind inventory. This gives buyers confidence their ads are going to be seen by real audiences, on premium content and gives sellers the ability to win all varieties of buyers. Because Peer39 uses a dynamic ID, publishers have a Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA)-compliant solution.
Multiple Categorizations
Multiple Paths to Increased Revenue
Content IDs allow for multiple classifications of content, not just what's declared or what the app-level category is.
For example: if a program is a Sports Documentary but categorized only as a Documentary. Advertisers targeting (or excluding) Sports will miss out on highly relevant placements. Utilizing these additional descriptors puts ads in more content to reach target audiences.
Content IDs shared from publishers throughout the programmatic chain to ad servers, exchanges, and DSPs make sure that data and categorization is consistent, enabling publishers to reach programmatic buyers and the tiers of buyers who are not going to request PMP deals.
Safety & Suitability
Exclude undesirable inventory
Peer39 keeps your ads from appearing on non-streaming environments such as screensavers, mobile apps, UGC, non-professional video categories, and other low-quality placements. These Fake CTV channels can waste upwards of 8% of budgets if left unchecked.
- Dozens of Safety Categories: Safe from Fake CTV Content ensures that ads are actually running in the intended CTV content that is not a screensaver or mobile apps. Additional Safe From categories we offer keep you away from Anime, Blind Inventory, Divisive News, Kids Content, News, Unprofessional, and all Sensitive Content.
- Transparency: Verified Content Categories and Verified Valid Channels categories keep you off of blind programmatic channels or content categories.
Transparency
for CTV
Trust your channels
2,000+ categories with recognizable channel names and logos so that you know exactly what you're targeting across DSPs.
- No Fake Content: Stay off of wallpaper channels, game channels, mobile apps, and photo sharing widget channels.
- Real-time Reporting: Ensure that your ads are actually running in the kind of CTV content or streaming video you want. Our reporting is often the first time that buyers are made aware that video ads and media are being placed in non-streaming environments such as screensavers or a mobile app - places that should never serve a CTV ad. We also report if ads are running in UGC, non-professional video categories, and other low-quality placements.
