Global leader in CTV advertising leveraging first-party data from the world's largest smart TV manufacturer to deliver audience targeting and measurement at scale

Samsung Ads is a global leader in connected TV (CTV) advertising, operating at the intersection of media, data, and technology. It gives advertisers reach across 45 million Samsung households for both broad brand awareness and specific business outcomes, supported by a platform that combines proprietary data and ad experiences spanning linear TV, OTT, gaming, and more. Samsung Ads provides advertisers and brands a holistic view of the advanced TV landscape, offering managed service and programmatic solutions to achieve incremental reach, complement linear campaigns, manage frequency, find hard-to-reach audiences, and measure outcomes. The company also powers programmatic access to premium video inventory on Samsung TV Plus, its free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) service, with partnerships such as the one with Magnite enabling advertisers to buy that inventory across multiple markets. Launched in the US in 2015, Samsung Ads now operates across North and Latin America, Europe, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, Southeast Asia, and India, and is a division of Samsung Electronics, the world's top TV manufacturer.
