Spring refresh: smarter audiences, stronger measurement, and easier access to premium TV inventory.

March brings meaningful updates that give you more control over how your campaigns run and how you measure performance. Here’s what’s new.

 

What's new

Product Highlights

 

Audience Builder moves toward full release

Audience Builder is moving from open beta toward full availability.

If you’ve been part of the beta, now is the time to start creating audiences in the new Audience Builder experience so everything carries over smoothly as we move toward general availability later this month.

Audience Builder lets you build targeting strategies the same way you already do in search and social.

You can:

  • Build sophisticated audience segments using AND / OR logic and exclusions
  • Create, edit, and deploy audiences instantly in a self-serve interface
  • Save audiences in a central library and reuse them across campaigns

The goal is simple. More control over who you reach and less time spent setting it up.



New CPA Network Integrations: Impact and Tune

Two new integrations are now live and available: Tune and Impact.
Both help advertisers connect affiliate and partner conversions directly to Performance TV campaigns.

Tune

Lets us send server-to-server conversion postbacks into your affiliate measurement stack so CTV campaigns can be attributed, deduplicated, and reported at the partner or offer level.

Impact

Provides a validated, self-serve partner analytics setup that reduces onboarding time and cuts down on tech ops dependencies.

If you’re running CPA campaigns through affiliate networks, these integrations make it much easier to see exactly how TV contributes to partner performance.


 

Inventory Marketplace is about to be LIVE

Our new Inventory Marketplace is rolling out now for CPM accounts.

It brings all of your available inventory into one place and simplifies how you activate it.

inventory-marketplace

 

You'll be able to:

  • Browse inventory in one centralized view
  • Target using bundle-based offerings instead of managing deal IDs
  • See 30-day availability estimates to help with planning

There’s nothing you need to do to enable it. As it rolls out, you’ll simply notice a cleaner workflow when selecting inventory.
