StreamLayer integrates Google’s programmatic advertising to deliver AI-driven, event-triggered ads across live sports and other types of video content, enabling streaming platforms to significantly enhance monetization without disrupting the viewing experience.

StreamLayer, a leader in interactive advertising solutions for live sports and entertainment, announced its integration with Google’s programmatic advertising capabilities. This breakthrough enhances the monetization of live broadcasts by enabling media companies, sports leagues, and OTT platforms to deliver hyper-relevant, event-triggered ads seamlessly during live content.

StreamLayer’s platform specializes in serving dynamic, contextual ads during natural pauses in live action – such as between plays in football, before faceoffs in hockey, or after a hit in baseball – ensuring that ads enhance rather than disrupt the viewer experience. By leveraging AI to identify optimal moments for ad placement and Google’s programmatic ad technology to facilitate real-time bidding, StreamLayer’s clients can now deliver tailored ads with unparalleled precision and scale.

“By combining the scale and precision of programmatic advertising with the unique opportunities of real-time, event-triggered ad delivery, and the power of AI to optimize targeting and timing, we’re unlocking unprecedented monetization potential for live sports and entertainment.”
