In response to the increasing inventory supply available to advertisers through connected TV (CTV) as more consumers become “cord-cutters,” The Trade Desk is rolling its connected TV-buying capabilities directly into the demand-side platform.

The demand-side platform (DSP) also enables advertisers to retarget addressable connected TV ad viewers across other devices programmatically.
