Connected TV (CTV) advertising platforms facilitate the delivery and management of content on Connected TV (CTV) devices for advertising purposes. These devices include TVs connected to the internet, external devices that connect to a TV, or other streaming devices that enable the consumption of digital content.

For advertisers, CTV ad platforms offer advanced targeting and measurement capabilities that significantly enhance the effectiveness of streaming TV advertising. These features allow for precise audience segmentation and real-time performance tracking, making CTV advertising a highly effective tool for optimizing performance marketing campaigns.

By leveraging these sophisticated tools, advertisers can achieve more accurate targeting, improved engagement rates, and a better overall return on investment (ROI).

These platforms integrate with existing [CRM software](https://www.g2.com/categories/crm) as well as the tools used to serve and publish ads like [data management platforms (DMP)](https://www.g2.com/categories/data-management-platform-dmp) and [demand side platforms (DSP)](https://www.g2.com/categories/demand-side-platform-dsp).

They also include personalization capabilities that were previously found in standalone [personalization software](https://www.g2.com/categories/personalization), making it an effective advertising tool.

To qualify for inclusion in the Connected TV (CTV) Advertising category, a product must:

- Allow advertising on any device that is capable of streaming (TV, smartphone, desktop, etc.)
- Provide integrations to support a variety of advertising content and inventory formats like video, interactive, and display ads
- Integrate with ad tech systems (ad networks, DMPs, DSPs) to optimize and manage campaigns
- Offer current performance analytics like clicks, impressions, conversions, etc.
- Allow segmented targeting to ensure ads reach appropriate personas
