Smart TV Data Partnership Enables Cross-Platform Linear and OTT Targeting and Measurement for Brands and Agencies

MiQ, the leader in Marketing Intelligence and connected programmatic solutions, extended its partnership with Inscape, the largest single source provider of smart TV viewing data in the U.S. and a subsidiary of VIZIO.

This allows marketers to reach consumers addressably on a second-screen device within seconds of viewing a television advertisement, making MiQ the first Inscape partner to market the capability commercially.
