TECH TALK
 
FreeWheel and DISH Media are teaming to enable linear inventory allocation and a holistic view of TV advertising performance across both traditional, demo-based buys and household- level, addressable TV campaigns. FreeWheel, a Comcast company, developed the solution to meet a growing need among distributors and programmers. “Making addressable advertising more viable is important to the industry,” said FreeWheel General Manager Dave Clark. “Distributors need to maximize inventory value, while also reducing manual workflow and improving operational workflows. This ensures marketers’ campaigns are optimally paced and reach their targeted audiences in the most efficient way possible.”
 
Smart TV company Vizio announced the launch of business unit Vizio Ads, enabling agencies and advertisers to buy premium TV ad inventory across the Vizio SmartCastTM platform. “One of the best ways to improve the TV viewing experience is to improve the state of TV advertising,” said VIZIO founder and CEO William Wang. “The launch of direct advertising across our TV platform isn’t just good business for us, it’s an investment we’re making to help the industry at large.”
 
SpotX is teaming with TiVo to power the monetization of TiVo+ and TiVo’s connected TV inventory . S potX will help programmatically manage, sell, and optimize TiVo’s video ad inventory, and its demand facilitation services will connect advertisers to TiVo’s inventory running on its TiVo+ and CTV platforms. “We see hardware and software platforms as the next important player within the advertising ecosystem because they aggregate audiences, retain a big chunk of the inventory pie, and hold proprietary audience data which is highly coveted,” said Geoff Spence, RVP of platform at SpotX. “The growth of free, ad-supported, streaming TV services and changes in viewership has positioned TiVo as a formidable player in the marketplace by offering advertisers new ways they can reach a premium audience.”
 
Verizon Media introduced a unified digital-out-of-home solution for DOOH publishers, giving them one provider to host, manage, stream, and monetize content. “The DOOH opportunity has exploded,” said Iván Markman, Chief Business Officer at Verizon Media. “But DOOH publishers face an increasingly convoluted content management process plagued by rising costs and inefficiencies. Unlocking their content’s monetization potential is also a challenge, requiring them to build a pipeline to quality DOOH advertisers and to manage an ad tech stack. In unveiling an integrated SSP that syncs with our Verizon Digital Signage platform, we can be a powerful partner for the DOOH industry.” 
 
Kantar and IRI announced the launch of a new closed-loop growth solution for CPG brands that combines IRI’s sales data and Kantar’s brand data, to enable clients to more effectively measure and optimize marketing programs against two business success drivers: long-term brand health and short-term sales. “Our new collaboration will strengthen our ability to help clients see what people buy and why, both short-term and long-term,” said Jen Bukich, VP of Global Business Development and Strategic Partnerships at Kantar. “By combining Kantar’s behavioral data with IRI’s purchase data, we can offer brands custom segmentation that will help them realize their advertising objectives.”
 
Comcast and wearable technology startup NuEyes are teaming to bring the Xfinity Stream entertainment viewing experience to visually impaired customers through NuEyes’ virtual reality technology. The Xfinity Stream app is now available on the NuEyes e2 smartglasses and VR magnifying device that enhances the usable vision of a person who is visually impaired. Xfinity Stream is pre-installed on NuEyes e2.
 
Audience intelligence and data-management platform Tru Optik announced a partnership agreement with JamLoop, a streaming TV and video advertising buying platform, to offer audience-based targeting capabilities for media buyers. “With OTT fast becoming the main form of professionally produced television consumption in the U.S., local and national advertisers are developing new media buying strategies to reach consumers within this landscape,” said Frans Vermeulen, COO of Tru Optik. “JamLoop’s proprietary buying platform – which now integrates Tru Optik Identity Resolution and OTT Data Marketplace – provides these advertisers with the ability to buy targeted, measurable and brand-safe premium video inventory, as well as offering transparency regarding audience reach and frequency during and after campaigns have run.” 
 
STREAMING SNIPPETS

After more than a year of collaboration, AT&T’s corporate cousins will showcase brands, premium content and experiences, advertising technology, distinct collections of audiences, personalized insights, 5G-enabled capabilities, and a future-look for ongoing innovation. “May 13 will be a culmination of two years of commitment, collaboration and innovation with our partners at Xandr to make superlative advertising solutions available in market today, alongside premium content that matters to audiences globally,” said Gerhard Zeiler, Chief Revenue Officer, WarnerMedia & President, WarnerMedia International Networks. “Our sales teams have been in market for well over a year, hosting dozens of client meetings and developing tangible solutions for partners. This moment signals a significant shift as we come together to showcase the full scope of possibilities in storytelling.”
 
NBCUniversal has already drawn over $1 billion in national TV advertising for the Tokyo Summer Olympics, and is on pace to top the $1.2 billion it totaled for the 2016 games in Rio. “There’s less and less big places where people gather. Sports is one of those places where people absolutely do gather,” said Mark Marshall, President of Ad Sales and Partnerships, on a conference call with journalists. “Sports continue to bring large audiences together.” NBC began selling inventory during the upfront sales period.
