Marketers have long struggled with broad contextual tools that stop at the genre or program level.

“Scene-level intelligence is redefining what’s possible in CTV,” said Mike Treon, Head of CTV and Video Strategy at PMG. “The combination of Anoki’s AI-powered contextual insights with Index Marketplaces gives marketers another significant advantage in targeting and optimizing the delivery and curation of media. It gives us the ability to activate messages in real time around the most relevant content moments—scaling performance and creative opportunities that simply didn’t exist before through historical programmatic channels.”

Through Index Marketplaces, marketers can now access scene-level contextual data powered by Anoki’s ContextIQ platform for streaming TV. This gives buyers deeper insights into scene-level understanding of content tone, sentiment, and subject matter. This enables ads to align with content moments in real time.
