AdOpt: AdServer for Linear TV

FAST! AUTOMATED! SMART! 

Customer Case: Study Major European Broadcaster 

What we achieved with our customer

Major European Broadcaster
70%

of all spot bookings are fully automated

Initial situation and challenges 

A major European broadcaster is selling its airtime across its entire linear inventory.

Business challenges:

  • New channels and program formats are constantly added

  • The market trend towards shorter spot length which increased the number of spots per commercial break

  • Avoiding the link between increasing number of spots vs. number of resources needed to maintain

In this context, automation is essential to maintain efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility without increasing workload for the planning team.

Key outcomes of the collaboration includes:

  • Transition from fully manual scheduling to near-complete automation 🚀
