We’re giving you a first-hand look at the Smaato OTT/CTV Platform, and how to get started.
Meet Smaato’s OTT/CTV Advertising Platform
Welcome to our Blog Series! We’re excited to share regular updates with you about a particular facet of our holistic omnichannel OTT advertising platform. This week, we’re going behind the scenes to show you how to set up inventory in our very own OTT/CTV Platform, as well as showing some of the unique features we offer.
Refresher: What Makes the Smaato Platform Different?
If you haven’t noticed, the OTT/CTV advertising market is quite fragmented. Different platforms offer different solutions, and the range of what’s included really varies. Some platforms specialize in ad podding, others need third party vendors for server-side ad insertion, and some exist only to share campaign data. Other platforms support certain formats, like video, and not others, such as audio.
At Smaato, we support all solutions on a single, omnichannel platform. We have seen first-hand the value in centralizing, simplifying, and consolidating, to offer our publishers and advertisers a holistic approach and better reporting details. With centralized monetization tools, we offer our customers an opportunity to manage their cross-platform strategy all in one place.
