AI-Powered CTV: The Hack Marketers Can’t Afford to Miss | tvScientific

Performance TV has quickly become a staple in modern media plans, but many marketers are still searching for ways to get more precision and performance from their campaigns. 

That’s where AI comes in. 52% of marketers say that the use of AI will be the biggest trend in Performance TV advertising this year, but most have only begun to scratch the surface of what it can do.

With AI-powered Performance TV, you can go beyond reach and impressions to run campaigns that continually optimize for the outcomes that matter most. In this blog, we’ll break down how AI transforms CTV performance and what steps you can take to start using this advantage today.

Why CTV Needs a Smarter Playbook

CTV has officially crossed into the performance marketing conversation, but scaling it effectively still remains difficult for marketers, due to a variety of reasons:

• Audience fragmentation: While 83% of US adults use streaming services, viewers are spread widely across Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Disney+, and dozens of niche platforms. No single buy gets you the coverage you need.
• Rising competition: With CTV ad spend seeing solid double-digit annual growth rates to $33.35 billion in 2025, it’s clear that a growing number of advertisers are flocking to CTV. But this also means there’s more demand for quality inventory.
• Manual processes: Traditional media buying cannot keep up with split-second opportunities or optimize against granular performance data.

As a result, many marketers either overspend trying to reach the right people or settle for broad targeting that wastes impressions. Yet neither delivers the precision or outcomes modern marketers expect.

This is where AI changes the game. 

The Hack: AI that Bids Smarter

With nearly 75% of CTV ad buys expected to be programmatic by the end of this year, AI-driven optimization is the only way to keep up.

Our patented AI optimizes TV advertising for outcomes that matter most, whether that’s sales, installs, or another key conversion. It can make bidding decisions up to ten times faster than other platforms and evaluates tens of thousands of variables in real time, including audience signals, inventory quality, ad formats, and geography.

That means you’ll be able to find more customers at the right price, all while continuously improving performance over time.

So, how does this work in practice?

• Smartest bidding: tvScientific AI identifies the ad spots most likely to generate the best returns on outcomes, impressions, and ROAS.
• Inventory recommendations: AI recommends the most effective inventory across devices, households, and audiences, making sure campaigns reach high-intent customers. In fact, AI-optimized ads have been shown to achieve 94.5% video completion rates, compared to about 70% for standard video ads. That means your creative not only reaches more households, but it also holds their attention.
• Household-level optimization: tvScientific AI learns the unique preferences of each household and decides the optimal time and format for each ad. 

Instead of relying on data scientists or dealing with a lengthy setup, you can simply set your campaign goals and upload creative assets. Then, let tvScientific AI build audiences, test creative, reallocate budgets, and provide transparent reporting on exactly where ads ran and what they achieved. This approach ensures targeting, measurement, reporting, and creative optimization all work together to maximize outcomes.

The result is highly efficient, outcome-driven CTV advertising that adapts and improves throughout the campaign.
