TripleLift In-Show Technology
CTV is a big and burgeoning space, but 95% of advertiser opportunities are 
still confined to "In-Break" adjacencies — typically :15 and :30 second 
commercial spots. TripleLift's "In-Show" solution inserts brand assets directly 
into television programs. The process occurs during post-production and can 
take place days, months or even years after show filming is complete. Machine 
learning technology determines where to insert an asset — a logo, a message or 
even a product rendering — into the content, based on program context and 
audience profile. The result is a seamless experience for the viewer and 
greater monetization for the content owner.

"We knew the TV ad experience could be more integrated and less interruptive, 
just like native advertising has been to websites. Our team looked at the full 
viewer experience and asked the question, 'How can we make the television ad 
experience work for everyone?'" said Michael Shields, GM of Advanced 
Advertising, TripleLift. "We've created a technology that is the future of 
brand-supported television. With pressure on television networks and platforms 
to decrease ad loads, In-Show extends a lifeline for sustained monetization."

The partnership between TripleLift and Amagi creates a full stack In-Show 
solution for programmatic CTV. Each company's innovation has been an important 
building block, and this agreement joins two important parts of the value 
chain, forming a complete offering now ready for the world's biggest brands and 
CTV providers. Producers can capture new revenue, even after shooting has 
wrapped. Advertisers have new opportunities to insert their messaging into 
breakthrough environments that have been largely closed to them otherwise. 
Finally, audiences get a tailored experience with the potential for less 
commercial interruption over time. Product placement is an $11 billion 
marketplace, and this programmatic solution makes it more accessible for 
streaming services, production companies, creators, and brands.

Amagi Cloud-Based Streaming Solution
Amagi provides a complete suite of solutions for content curation, 
distribution, and monetization for content owners, TV Networks and sports/news

Networks UK, beIN Sports, CuriosityStream, Discovery Networks, Fox Networks, 
Fremantle, NBCUniversal, Tastemade, Tegna, USA Today, Vice Media, and Warner

As the leader in the expanding FAST CTV ecosystem, Amagi's full stack solution 
with TripleLift integration sets a new benchmark for innovation in monetization 
of content. It will provide a unique opportunity to content owners who are 
looking at better and non-intrusive ways of monetizing their content. 

"We see In-Show ads as a huge opportunity for our content and platform partners 
to dramatically increase monetization by inserting messages into programming 
without bringing on ad fatigue," said Sudhir Shabad, VP, WW Alliances, and 
Channels and Ecosystem at Amagi. "This, along with our tight integration with 
TripleLift platform, provides a scalable, high revenue opportunity for our 
customers. We are glad to be leading the industry in this innovation with 
TripleLift and believe that this is an industry-transforming alliance."

TripleLift research conducted with MediaScience indicates that In-Show ads 
drive 12x higher brand awareness, 3.6x ad engagement and 77% less intrusion vs. 
standard commercial breaks. Further, TripleLift and its partners estimate that 
In-Show programmatic will generate 15%—25% incremental revenue for studios and 
networks.
