Sounder Integrates with IRIS.TV, Expanding Its Data Signal Beyond Podcasts to CTV


Sounder unlocks precise insights using the audio track of CTV content, a signal previously untapped to any degree of sophistication by legacy solutions for video. The world’s leading media publishers, agencies, and marketplaces presently use Sounder to target podcast advertising campaigns. Now, for the first time, marketers can target CTV advertising using Sounder’s solution, which maps the episode-level dialogue into industry-standard taxonomies for brand safety, suitability, and contextual targeting.

IRIS.TV simplifies the complexity and fragmentation of the video ecosystem across CTV and premium digital video, providing access, for the first time, to video-level data. The IRIS_ID provides a common data signal across supply partners, making it easier for advertisers to confidently buy CTV and premium video inventory based on video-level contextual, brand-safety analysis, and the specific topical nature of every video.

Kal Amin, CEO and Co-Founder of Sounder says “With IRIS.TV, we’re thrilled to bring our AI-driven solution, trained at-scale on spoken word and purpose built for advertising, into the video advertising marketplace.”

“Our partnership with Sounder is a significant development in CTV advertising,” says Nancy Neumann-Grey, VP of Business Development, Data Partners of IRIS.TV. “We’re excited to see the full potential of the dialogue unlocked in streaming advertising. With Sounder, marketers have a best-in-class audio-based product that provides accurate brand safety, suitability, and contextual insights for targeting CTV campaigns at scale.”
