Advertise your streaming app where streaming audiences watch
Grow your streaming app with TV ads that reach cord-cutters and streaming-first audiences on their favorite channels.
Table of Contents
If you're building a streaming app—FAST channel, niche streaming service, or video platform—your target audience is already watching streaming TV. Why not advertise where they are? CTV ads let you reach streaming-first viewers on the same devices where they'll download and use your app.
Why streaming app developers choose CTV advertising
Your ideal users are cord-cutters who spend hours watching streaming content. CTV advertising reaches them in their natural environment—while they're actively engaged with streaming platforms.
Reach streaming-first audiences: CTV viewers are your core demographic. They've already cut the cord, watch streaming content daily, and are actively looking for new apps and channels to discover.
Same-screen conversion: Viewers see your ad on their smart TV or streaming device and can download your app on the same device—or grab their phone immediately. The path from awareness to install is instant.
Compete with established players: Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ advertise their apps on TV. Why shouldn't you? TV ads give your streaming app the legitimacy and visibility of a major platform, even if you're indie or niche.
Measurable performance: Track ad views, geographic reach, and spend in real-time. Use attribution links to connect TV ads directly to app installs, signups, and subscriptions.
Build awareness before launch: Launching a new streaming service? Run CTV ads weeks before launch to build anticipation and drive day-one downloads.
