This partnership enables contextual and brand-safe connected-TV (or “CTV”) targeting for e-commerce marketing programs, as CTV continues to be one of the fastest-growing advertising platforms. Connected TV refers to premium content streaming through apps, either on a smart TV or through an over-the-top device.

eMarketer reported in a recent CTV programmatic advertising update that incremental spending on programmatic CTV video ads in 2021 will increase to $2.37 billion. That $2.37 billion will represent almost 29% of all incremental spending on programmatic video ads this year and about 15% of growth in total programmatic display. Additionally, in the IAB’s “2021 Marketplace Outlook Survey Results,” a poll of digital video buyers, showed an average shift of 21% of ad budgets from linear TV to digital video.

IRIS_ID will enable video-level contextual and brand-safety targeting for pre-bid media buying via the Logiq Digital Marketing platform. Leveraging IRIS_ID, Logiq customers will have real-time access to video-level data verified by their preferred data providers from top publishers across all distribution platforms, from Apple TV to Samsung TV.

“The partnership with Logiq marks another step forward for our growing ecosystem of leading ad platform partners,” said Field Garthwaite, CEO and Co-founder, IRIS.TV. “Logiq’s inclusion in the IRIS-enabled™ ecosystem is a proof point of how critical video-level transparency is to all advertisers to grow their brand.”

With access to IRIS-enabled™ video-level data via the IRIS_ID, small-to-mid-sized brands and agencies can evaluate and optimize video campaign performance across content genres and screens. Through a singular sign-in and dashboard experience, Logiq Digital Marketing clients will be able to leverage the IRIS_ID in their e-commerce marketing execution, and apply context and brand-safety signals in their pre-bid media buying strategies.

“We have made significant investments into the Logiq Digital Marketing platform’s ability to efficiently and economically help brands advertise on valuable streaming video and connected TV content,” said Manny Puentes, president, Logiq Digital Marketing. “The partnership with IRIS.TV provides more visibility and access for marketers that did not have the budget and opportunity to leverage these opportunities prior.”
