One of the most popular technical solutions to streamline campaign flights on connected TV is server-side ad insertion (SSAI). SSAI is technology that stitches together ads within a video stream before the stream loads on a user’s device. Most of the demand is coming from the explosive growth of CTV, but it can be used in any connected or over-the-top (OTT) video environments, including social.
The biggest reason marketers aren’t shifting their linear TV dollars to CTV is the lack of visibility into where their ads are going, said Lisa Utzschneider, CEO of Integral Ad Science. In attempt to bridge that gap, IAS is tying its contextual tech into its CTV strategy, which started maturing after the company bought the video ad server Publica last summer.
