Acquisition Expected to Expand Global Market Opportunity and Contribute to Accelerated Revenue Growth in 2022
Innovid, a leading independent connected TV (CTV) advertising delivery and measurement platform, has completed its previously announced acquisition of TVSquared, an independent global measurement and attribution platform for converged TV.
The transaction unlocks a new independent currency-grade standard for cross-platform TV measurement, powered by the scale and automation of a global ad server. Combining Innovid’s expansive ad serving footprint of more than 95 million connected homes, with TVSquared’s TV measurement and attribution platform, inclusive of TV viewing and ad occurrence data across millions of households globally, creates an independent, single source of truth for advertisers.

“We believe the combination of independent global ad serving and cross-platform measurement sits at the heart of solving TV measurement’s biggest challenges,” said Zvika Netter CEO and Co-founder, Innovid. “We’ve spent over a decade building foundational ad delivery and personalization technology to power TV across channels and devices. Now, together with TVSquared by Innovid, we provide advertisers a complete view of the total TV and digital universe through a scalable, currency-grade measurement platform.”
With TVSquared, Innovid’s ad serving, creative personalization, measurement and identity management capabilities now encompass real-time, cross-platform analysis, including measurement and outcomes such as reach, frequency and unique unduplicated reach, as well as performance metrics.

- Cross-Platform TV Measurement & Outcomes: Complete, cross-platform measurement and attribution – from reach, frequency and unique unduplicated reach, to offline and online outcomes – across devices and publishers, including walled gardens.
- A Unified, Global Solution: Large-scale, independent platform for cross-channel ad delivery, creative personalization and measurement across the TV and digital universe.
- Automation at Scale: Real-time, always-on analysis built on enterprise-grade software covering an unparalleled global footprint of impressions and conversions.
