CTV Add-On

The most-watched second in streaming? The pause.

CTV — Pause Ads put your brand on the full screen the moment a viewer stops their show, owning the break instead of interrupting it. 100% share of voice, a QR bridge to action, and true programmatic reach.

Why Pause Ads

Reach viewers at the moment they choose to stop.

Instead of interrupting the show, your brand becomes part of the natural break — a premium moment of full attention the viewer opted into.

Non-intrusive

Ads appear only when viewers pause, so the brand shows up as a welcome moment — not an interruption.

Premium attention

100% share of voice during the pause. Your brand owns the entire screen until playback resumes.

Viewer-friendly

Pause Ads work in harmony with user control, meeting audiences exactly where they naturally stop.

See It On Screen

One pause. The whole living room looking.

Add an optional QR code — a direct bridge from the big screen to a booking, a landing page or an offer.

Why Ours Is Different

Pause Ads without the walled gardens.

Other providers lock you into their own inventory. We run Pause Ads programmatically across the top streaming platforms — more choice, more reach, more control.

No walled gardens

Bought programmatically across premium streaming inventory — not trapped inside one provider’s platform.

Simple to launch

Provide one creative. Your Pause Ads run seamlessly across Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV and more, at true programmatic scale.

Cross-device retargeting

Because it runs in a DSP, viewers who pause on TV can be re-engaged later on the devices where they’re most likely to convert.

Creative Specs

Built to your creative.

Bring your existing brand assets — we build the pause-ad creative to spec. A QR code is suggested but never required.

Asset resolution

Supply the largest quality asset available, from 1920×1080px up to 4072×2290px — 16:9 at both sizes.

QR codes suggested

Add a high-contrast QR code with a clear quiet zone and viewers can scan straight from the screen to book, learn or buy.

File delivery

Delivered as Connected TV — codec, bitrate and VAST vary by publisher, so we confirm trafficking specs per buy.
