Roku Focuses on Interoperability to Enhance CTV Measurement and Accountability
· 1h ago · Originally reported by Beet.TV
Roku is emphasizing interoperability in connected TV (CTV) as advertisers seek better measurement and frequency control, similar to digital advertising. The use of data clean rooms is expanding from compliance to core operations, supporting planning, activation, and campaign measurement.
Why it matters
As CTV attracts more ad spend, advertisers want the same transparency and control they have in digital. Improved interoperability and data collaboration help ensure ads reach the right audiences without waste.
Explain it like I’m new here
It's like making sure everyone playing a video game can see the same scoreboard, so no one cheats and everyone knows who’s winning.
