We expect interactive CTV ads to become a core component of media agency budgets ,now that they can integrate them into their planning using our platform," Allen Klosowski, VP, mobile & connected devices, SpotX, told Real-Time Daily via email.

BrightLine’s InCAST platform enables marketers to turn ads into dynamic and immersive brand experiences on connected TVs.

Viewers can interact with personalized ads on a TV that matches the way they interact with content on desktop or mobile devices. BrightLine has implemented the advanced TV ad formats on Hulu, A+E Networks, CBS, and others.

Providing capabilities to run BrightLine formats programmatically is expected to help accelerate the growth of agencies creating interactive CTV ads, according to Klosowski.
