Challenge
The agency for a global auto manufacturer was
interested in adding CTV to their traditional TV plan, but

target audience households exposed on traditional TV
• dataxu delivered a targeted CTV campaign finding
additional in-target households while suppressing
those already reached by the agencies linear TV plan
Results:
The combined TotalTV™ campaign boosted
