DoubleVerify recently created an ad verification solution that can verify an ad’s viewability for connected TV. They launched this ad verification in February 2023, allowing advertisers to determine if an ad within a CTV app was actually seen by a user. This marks the first time a viewability measurement solution for CTV has hit the market. On top of our numerous other verification metrics, Genius Monkey employs DoubleVerify for all our video and CTV/OTT campaigns to ensure inventory quality and provide fraud avoidance.

Our clients have been enjoying some of the best prices we’ve seen in the last two years! Why is this? Straight to the nitty-gritty; it’s because we have been working hard on our optimization algorithms and features along with integrating even more inventory through new networks, direct deals, and DSPs. This helps Genius Monkey continuously drive down costs with our unique media-agnostic approach, reaching consumers on any device they use.

We’ve worked with thousands of clients, from almost every industry—real estate, legal, e-commerce, education, medical, political, and more. Which means we’ve seen a LOT of different business marketing strategies. We know what works best and what will eventually flop. In this blog, we’ve put together the most common advertising questions we receive from clients, including their biggest hurdles, challenges, and errors. We quickly take their problems and turn them into challenges to solve.

How many hours a day do you spend watching videos? The number is probably higher than you’d guess. On average, Americans spend almost two hours a day watching video content. Whether you’re watching your favorite TV show or a how-to video on YouTube, video content is everywhere, and it’s not going away. Advertisers are utilizing this more than ever before, creating video content that’s captivating and engaging. Today we’re talking about video—from different types of video ads to the ideal length of time your video should be.

These are the first 5 fixes we like to recommend if your campaign isn’t seeing the results you wanted. Each business is different, so these 5 won’t automatically make you a big success—for that you need a team working alongside you every step of the way.

Many major Connected TV publishers such as Netflix and DIRECTV are making exclusive deals with DSP’s, meaning their inventory can be bought through one DSP. This could be affecting your campaigns. Why? Because most programmatic platforms and agencies today have one DSP as their backend servicer to serve ads. If they are only using one DSP they are potentially missing out on premium placements. Since Genius Monkey has both Xandr and Yahoo DSP already within its Meta-DSP platform, we are included in both exclusivity deals.

First, there came the DSP. Now, a somewhat newer term has emerged following the release of new technology—Meta-DSP. Don’t worry about trying to keep up and understanding it all—we’ll do it for you, right here in this blog. Out of pure ease and the attempt of saving money, many advertisers choose to go with a single DSP, which limits their ad platform to the placements and costs that the DSP is able to provide at the time of the ad placement bid.

No, it’s not with a trendy TikTok dance or ALL CAPS FONT.
