Allocation Basics: The Missing Link to High Impact TV, CTV Performance

“If you’re buying in the upfront or you want to buy linear TV and CTV together, we have a data-driven tech platform that will help you minimize excess frequency and reach overlap as well as improve efficiencies across your direct sold CTV and your programmatic CTV with your existing linear schedule.” — Jack Bamberger, Chief Commercial Officer, Amobee

Connected TV (CTV) is a highly targetable, tactical, and measurable delivery mechanism for today’s data-driven, TV-quality content. More premium media is being bought and sold than ever before in this $10 billion CTV marketplace as greater numbers of viewers are leaning in for a high-quality experience.

But today’s agencies and their brand clients are facing a technical gap when it comes to planning premium CTV inventory alongside their upfront linear TV commitments, especially across the entire scope of their premium portfolio buys and over the course of their campaigns. 

How to extract the most value from broadcaster CTV

In the supply-limited environment of reserved, direct-bought CTV inventory, allocation is critical to extracting the greatest value from media budgets. Using new forecasting and allocation technology, today’s most ambitious marketers can unify and optimize CTV in a linear-aware manner.

Amobee’s CTV Allocator is a data-driven, first-to-market solution that enables agencies to plan, forecast, and activate direct-bought CTV in a way that complements their linear TV, digital, and social investments. Not only does CTV Allocator help agencies identify the best reserved inventory for their clients, it provides them with a forecasted blueprint of the best possible plan to meet their brand or product objectives. Marketers can now, for the first time, and in one platform, optimize reach and frequency across all premium media for their brand clients.
