Programmatic TV
What is PTV and why should you use it?
Programmatic TV (PTV) combines real-time digital ad booking and delivery with linear TV reach to ensure maximum quality for campaigns. This means it is possible to book advertising spots programmatically in the running TV programs.
With Addressable TV (ATV), you can only reach Internet-enabled (Smart) TVs. The advertising media are superimposed on the linear TV signal.
PTV campaigns are booked by customers via a DSP (digital booking platform). In combination with the TV-AdServer, the data-based mapping of the current target group and reach ensures that the right TV spot is broadcast in real time in the linear advertising block. The real-time measurements of switched-on HbbTV devices (Internet-enabled) also serve as a database for PTV in addition to the historical TV data.
If you’re already booking your campaigns programmatically, you can easily enhance your video advertising channels with linear TV.

Addressable TV (ATV)
What is ATV and why should you use it?
There are now many internet-enabled devices that can be used to watch TV, such as Smart TV, Fire TV Stick and game consoles. As a result, television, as the medium with the widest reach, can be combined with the target group-specific control of the digital world.
When advertising via addressable TV (ATV), advertising banners can be displayed through linear television. Through placements in linear TV programs, ATV implements new ways of addressing target groups. Brand safety is guaranteed at all times thanks to the use of high-quality transmitters.

Connected TV (CTV)
What is CTV and why should you use it?
Connected TV (CTV) enables advertising access to viewers who consume little or no linear television. While ATV has so far focused on displaying banners, CTV is concentrating on video advertising media, displayed as pre-roll or mid-roll ads. ATV and CTV Advertising are good options if you want to achieve a large reach.
The high reach that is attainable does not, however, mean that the advantages of real-time bidding are left out. In fact, the exact opposite is the case. You can also address your target group in the television environment via programmatic playout.

Digital Out Of Home (DOOH)
Use of classic & future-oriented advertising formats
What is DOOH and why should you use it?
When you’re on the go, you can’t avoid seeing outdoor advertising. Whether at the subway station, on a shopping street, at the airport, or in the gym. There is always digital advertising space in such places. What does this have to do with programmatic advertising? In fact, many of these screens can also be programmed programmatically. Digital out of Home (DOOH) is a sector that is developing rapidly in the field of programmatic.
Now you can reach your target group via digital programmatic outdoor advertising. This can have certain age or interest-specific characteristics. The corresponding data can in turn be linked to location data. This guarantees the following: the advertising is only displayed on the DOOH advertising space where and when your target group is more likley to be present at said location.. Your message can spread to the appropriate digital outdoor advertising spaces in an instant.
Highly targeted approach with the use of programmatic RTA despite a one-to-many medium!

Example case
DOOH & DCO
With the help of Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO), individual advertising elements can be exchanged dynamically and automatically. As a result, the response can vary and adapt, for example, to the weather, the time of day or the city. The examples show a DOOH campaign that MINT Square implemented for Advantage Austria. There the banners were dynamically adapted to the respective cities. Passers-by are much more likely to watch an ad if they can connect with it. Just reading your city or a greeting specific to the time of day can go a long way. You too can take advantage of the opportunity to flexibly address your target group in public places.

What is meant by display and video?
Display advertising means any type of advertising measures in the online area where graphic-based content is played out. The most common form of display advertising is banner advertising.
Emotional video content helps, among other things, to build a brand up. With attention-grabbing videos, your target group can be reached everywhere: on the go on the cell phone, on the work computer or at home on the television.
The most important task of display and video advertising is to create visual stimuli for the user, which in turn leads them to interact with the advertising medium (e.g. in the form of a click). The user is then forwarded to the advertiser’s landing page.
For this purpose, networks of publishers from the entire WWW can be used.
Programmatic display and video advertising is the standard. MINT brings innovation to that standard!
