Introducing Infinite Video — Every screen. Every format. All Connected.
Infillion launched Infinite Video, a unified video buying platform that integrates TrueX opt-in attention, CTV, interactive video, and OLV into one connected infrastructure. The platform uses the Infillion Brain real-time optimization engine and Catalina purchase intelligence covering 170M+ verified shoppers and 80B+ transactions to enable cross-format optimization. It also provides unified measurement spanning brand lift, ad recall, video completion, ROAS, and purchase attribution. The launch addresses the analytical and operational fragmentation in video advertising, where media buyers typically manage multiple vendors and disconnected data pools.
This launch directly addresses the growing fragmentation in video advertising by unifying formerly siloed formats, data, and measurement into one composable platform. It signals a shift toward connected, cross-format buying that can optimize campaigns in real time, which is strategically relevant for advertisers and the broader ad tech ecosystem.
