Tatari’s Record Growth and AI Expansion Set the Stage for 2025, Strengthened by Key Executive Hire

2024 was a record year for TV that included nine days with over 100 billion viewing minutes. Audiences tuned in for unforgettable moments, from the 2024 Olympics to a heated presidential election and major sporting events. Advertisers responded in kind, deepening their investment in TV.

While the broader industry saw modest growth—eMarketer reported a 23% increase in streaming TV ad spend and just 2% in linear TV—Tatari significantly outperformed the market. We saw 52% growth in streaming and 20% in linear YoY, a testament to our cutting-edge infrastructure and data-driven approach.

Over 200 brands partnered with Tatari to execute successful TV campaigns, along with 22 agencies that licensed our platform in 2024.

Why Advertisers are Winning with Tatari

Tatari’s continued investment in modernizing TV advertising fuels our clients’ success. By leveraging data science and technology to measure outcomes and drive efficient media buys, we’ve redefined TV advertising. Here are a few notable highlights from the past year:

The Most Accurate TV Ad Measurement

  • Improved reporting for streaming inventory thanks to the development of innovative algorithms and methods of measurement without the need for IP addresses

  • Enabled the linking of multiple devices within a household to determine which viewer is taking an action (e.g. website visit, app installation) after seeing an ad

  • A native integration into Vault’s Data Clean Room, so brands can measure user engagement across devices, while upholding strict privacy measures

  • More stringent filters of shared/communal IP addresses prevent over-attributing and mismatching viewers of an ad to an action taken.

Direct Media Relationships Drive Efficiency 

  • Increased the number of publishers using TVP Direct by 75%, giving our clients unique data and highly efficient CPMs

  • Successfully secured the most sought-after TV inventory for the year’s biggest events, including the Olympics, the MLB World Series, the NBA Finals, and the Presidential Election - at exclusive rates
