Marketers Gain Access to TV Commercial Data to Optimize Ad Campaigns Across Devices

The Trade Desk announced that it has selected Samba TV, a leader in global TV data and analytics, to help power The Trade Desk’s Planner, a cross-device advertising planning tool for digital and Connected TV campaigns.

This partnership helps marketers forecast cross-device reach and frequency across campaigns that span TV and digital, and also segments audiences that switch viewership from traditional TV to streaming video and other digital media. In doing so, the combined offering from Samba TV and The Trade Desk will allow marketers to maximize campaign reach and ROI by integrating planning, targeting, and measurement across all screens and devices. At the same time, advertisers will have the ability to build plans modeled by how often an ad is served to consumers, optimizing relevance and frequency.
