Overview

Real-time audience optimization for CTV

Content is constantly at our fingertips and can be streamed anywhere and anytime. Streaming has given rise to more content, more talent and more audiences, which means even more opportunities for media buyers and sellers. But the big question remains: how do you know who from the household is actually in front of the screen?

Nielsen Streaming Signals unbundles the household and predicts who is behind the CTV screen so you can optimize audiences in real-time. Streaming Signals uses machine learning algorithms, viewing from Nielsen’s gold standard panel and first-party, census-level streaming data of participating CTV providers, to determine person-level demographic information during live streaming sessions.

We provide dynamic inputs of the person behind the screen using custom machine learning models, Nielsen TV Panel data, and CTV streaming information provided by participating CTV operators. The careful combination of proprietary panel data, combined with CTV data, allows us to assign person-level demographic information with unparalleled accuracy. Our technology, which leverages powerful real-time machine learning, can deliver signals of who is streaming program content, so marketers can make better, faster, and optimized choices when it comes to targeting their audiences.
