At this year’s Mindshare Huddle on “Innovation for Good Growth,” we introduced the Samba TV Wellness Lounge, welcoming hundreds from Mindshare UK to reflect on creating positive impact in our work, communities, and personal lives. A key takeaway from the speakers, workshops, and activations this year is the power of media—and those who shape it—to continue embracing better ways to drive change through ideas, technology, data, and collaboration 🫰 🚀 . #MindshareUK #MindshareHuddle #Huddle2024

We create data at the heart of TV, powering a more scientific approach to advertising and a better viewing experience.
About us
Television remains a vibrant cultural influence and an essential source of entertainment and information worldwide. Tremendous growth in content choices, and viewing platforms that allow us to watch anything, anytime, on any screen, has actually made it harder for viewers to discover and keep up with all the great programming available. It’s also more competitive for content providers to keep your attention, and for marketers to make strong, measurable connections with their target consumers. Technology that improves the viewing experience, enables content discovery, and addresses audience fragmentation across screens will strengthen television’s business model and relevance to consumers. Data is at the center of any solution to make TV better. Samba TV's technology is built into Smart TVs and easily maps to smart phones and tablets. By recognizing what's on screen, Samba TV learns what viewers like and using machine learning algorithms, enables discovery of shows and actors in a whole new way. Likewise, our data and measurement products are transforming the way stakeholders across the media landscape are thinking about their business. Given the dramatic growth in streaming services, connected devices, time-shifting, and multi-screen viewership, our data products solve real problems and create a meaningful competitive advantage for our clients.

What does AI-powered contextual targeting look like 🎯 👀 ? “Imagine you’ve got a travel brand that wants to figure out where to insert themselves in the video landscape. We can go beyond just the title level of the content down to the scene and find if there’s a travel-related theme or topic being discussed, someone talking about a vacation in a TV show, or if there’s a logo present that’s of interest.” - Samba TV Co-founder and CEO Ashwin Navin Read more about what Samba is doing with contextual advertising on the heels of our acquisition of Semasio via Jack Neff's piece in Ad Age 🚀 : https://lnkd.in/gmq6b4UF #SambaTV #ContextualAdvertising #Targeting #Measurement

It's the final days before Americans cast their votes (many already underway by mail) for the Presidential Election. In this critical push, Campaigns & Elections checked in with Samba TV Co-founder and CEO Ashwin Navin for a look at what we're seeing with the campaigns: “We’re also seeing social pick up significantly as a way to microtarget segments and fill in the gaps from TV-only campaigns. This is key for voter targeting, especially, for example, with many Gen Zers who get news almost entirely from social. For states that appear to be winnable, we see both sides taking a holistic approach to messaging by employing a hybrid strategy that involves traditional TV, surrounded by social and digital media.” Dig into the full piece here 👉 : https://lnkd.in/gw7xV4an #ElectionDay2024 #PoliticalAdvertising #PresidentialElection
