Amagi Unlocks New Opportunities for CTV Performance with...

Amagi, the agentic industry cloud platform for unified broadcast, streaming, and monetization, today announced the availability of its In-Content Ads offering via Amagi's ADS PLUS marketplace. This strategic expansion is focused on unlocking incremental impact for advertisers beyond the traditional ad pod, at programmatic scale. The new marketplace offering launches with immediate availability across hundreds of streaming channels, including premium news, sports, and entertainment content.

Powered by THUNDERSTORM, Amagi's server-side ad insertion (SSAI) and dynamic ad stitching platform, Amagi In-Content Ads have been successfully deployed across premium streaming environments for more than a year. This latest expansion marks the next phase of the offering, designed specifically to streamline programmatic access for advertisers via Amagi ADS PLUS.

The solution connects advertisers to unique ad formats stitched directly into linear video content in real-time. This alignment can significantly boost overall campaign results, while the breadth of Amagi's technology footprint enables seamless activation across the streaming ecosystem. Available ad formats at launch include overlays, squeezebacks, and picture-in-picture (PIP) ads. These high impact formats provide advertisers with powerful options to boost performance in tandem with existing mid-roll campaigns. Content owners and streaming platforms can benefit by growing ad revenue without increasing pod length or interrupting the viewer experience.

Today's dynamic CTV advertising marketplace demands innovation that delivers results at scale, said Srinivasan KA, Co-founder and President-Global Business, Amagi. By building upon our proven platform technology and ecosystem connections, our new In-Content Ads Marketplace enables advertisers and content owners to unlock more value from streaming audiences while preserving the viewer experience.

The expansion is backed by participation from a number of innovative ad platforms and advertisers including Olyzon, the agentic decisioning layer for CTV. In a recent collaboration with a leading European luxury fashion house, Olyzon reported that Amagi's In-Content Ad formats delivered a +2.9% lift in brand desirability and a +2.1 point increase in brand awareness. This case study underscores the power of content alignment in achieving superior campaign performance.

The L-Band format proved highly effective in driving brand awareness, thanks to its strong visibility and seamless, non-intrusive integration within content, said Jules Minvielle, CEO of Olyzon. Its placement within premium content environments offered by Amagi, particularly well-suited to luxury brands, enhances message impact while preserving brand image and exclusivity.

The marketplace also continues to gain traction across a growing network of premium platforms and content partners including Plex, TCL, Telus, Banijay, Racer Select, and OTT Studios. By leveraging its cloud-native streaming solution and global partner ecosystem, Amagi remains focused on enhancing ad formats and expanding the breadth of channels available for programmatic in-content advertising.
