Spots Cut and Delivered for Connected TV.

Broadcast-quality commercials in CTV and OTT specs, produced new or cut from the footage you already own.

What it is

Broadcast Reach, Digital Targeting.

Connected TV puts a commercial in front of a household at the scale of broadcast with the targeting of digital. We produce for it end to end: hero spots shot for the big screen, cut to :30 and :15, mastered to each platform’s delivery spec, with closed captions and the audio levels broadcast requires.

It doesn’t always take a new shoot. For Public Rec, one 30-second spot cut from existing footage returned a 51.7× ROAS, and seven national TV commercials over the partnership earned a 4× return on $8M of TV spend, production included.

Why it works

What CTV Does for a Brand.

  • Broadcast quality, to spec

    Color, mix, captions and slates mastered to each platform’s delivery requirements, so nothing bounces at trafficking.

  • From your library first

    The footage you already own is often enough for a TV-ready spot; we start there before scoping a shoot.

  • Measured like everything else

    TV and CTV spend sits beside production spend and revenue in the Birdline App, so the return on the spot is visible.

FAQ

Questions About CTV.

What’s the difference between CTV and a commercial?
The commercial is the creative; CTV is where it runs. CTV and OTT platforms have their own specs for length, resolution, captions and audio, and we master and deliver to them.
Can you cut a TV spot from footage we already have?
Yes. That’s how Public Rec’s 51.7× spot was made. We review the library, cut, master and deliver.
Do you handle the trafficking?
We deliver files to the specs of your buying platform or agency. Placement and buying stay with your media team.
