Prompt
Can you recommend connected TV providers for comparing inventory options in cross-screen campaigns?
Latest observation
Yes — if you’re comparing inventory options across connected TV (CTV) and broader cross-screen video, it helps to look at providers in a few buckets: premium publishers/marketplaces, programmatic supply platforms, and data/measurement partners.
Good CTV providers to evaluate
1) Premium CTV / OTT publishers
Best when you want high-quality, brand-safe inventory and direct access to major streaming audiences.
- Roku Ads Manager / Roku OneView
- Amazon Ads (Prime Video, Fire TV)
- Disney+ / Hulu via Disney advertising
- Netflix Ads
- NBCUniversal One Platform
- Paramount Advertising
- Warner Bros. Discovery / Max inventory
- Fox / Tubi
- Disney+ / Hulu
- Samsung Ads
- LG Ad Solutions
2) Programmatic CTV supply sources
Best when you want to compare reach, scale, and pricing across many apps and publishers.
- The Trade Desk
- Google DV360
- Yahoo DSP
- Magnite
- PubMatic
- OpenX
- Xandr / Microsoft Advertising
- FreeWheel
- SpotX (now part of Magnite)
These are especially useful for cross-screen campaigns because they can help you compare CTV, desktop, mobile, and sometimes audio in one buying environment.
3) AVOD / FAST platforms
Good for incremental reach and often more flexible pricing.
- Tubi
- Pluto TV
- Plex
- The Roku Channel
- Freevee (where available)
- Xumo
- Sling Freestream
- Philo (ad-supported offerings)
4) Measurement and identity partners
If your goal is to compare inventory quality and deduplicated reach across screens, these are important too:
- Nielsen
- Comscore
- iSpot
- VideoAmp
- Experian
- LiveRamp
- TransUnion
What to compare across providers
When evaluating inventory for cross-screen campaigns, compare:
- Reach and unique audience
- Device mix (CTV, mobile, desktop, tablet)
- Content type (premium, AVOD, FAST, live sports, entertainment)
- Ad format availability (15s, 30s, pause ads, interactive)
- Frequency controls
- Targeting options (contextual, audience, geo, household)
- Measurement compatibility
- Brand safety / fraud controls
- Competitive separation
- Pricing model (CPM, fixed, auction)
A practical shortlist
If you want a manageable set to start with, I’d compare:
- Roku
- Amazon Ads
- The Trade Desk
- Magnite
- Google DV360
- Tubi
- Pluto TV
- Disney/Hulu
- Nielsen or VideoAmp for measurement
If you want, I can also put this into a comparison matrix by:
- premium vs. programmatic inventory,
- cross-screen measurement capabilities, or
- best providers by campaign goal (reach, frequency, performance, or brand safety).
