Connected TV (CTV) Market: Programmatic Home-Screen Ads Gain Standardization
Programmatic home-screen ads on connected TVs are becoming easier to buy and scale as ad-tech vendor Nexxen launched standardization tools that let advertisers upload creative once using a universal spec and AI-assisted resizing. Nexxen began offering programmatic native home-screen inventory last year with OEM integrations (starting with V/formerly VIDAA) and later expanded to TCL and TiVo Ads. Nexxen says the universal spec cut onboarding time for new OEM partners by up to 50%. Agencies such as Brainlabs are testing home-screen placements for both upper-funnel awareness and performance-driven campaigns, and industry participants expect broader advertiser interest as the format becomes more measurable and less fragmented.
Standardization and tooling from an AdTech vendor (Nexxen) reduces fragmentation and onboarding time for home-screen CTV inventory, potentially enabling broader programmatic scale and more advertiser participation.
