With the retirement of third-party cookies for audience targeting and the increased uncertainty resulting from consumer privacy regulations, the ability to target advertising to contextually relevant video on the open internet has never been more important.

In 2019, IRIS.TV launched its contextual video marketplace, a data pipeline that simplifies the complexity of the video ecosystem across CTV, web and mobile video. The marketplace has simplified thousands of integration points into a single ecosystem bringing together publishers, contextual data partners, ad servers and SSPs into a marketplace that enables publishers’ video content to be analyzed and categorized into industry-accepted brand-safety and brand-suitable segments that can be purchased by any DSP through private marketplace deals.

SpringServe ensures that its clients’ ad calls can accept any segments from contextual data partners running on participating publishers. The growing list of marketplace data providers includes Oracle Data Cloud, Comscore, and Spectrum Media Services. SpringServe will enable SSPs to accept and target the respective segments.
