Beeline

Strategic partnership

One of the most important projects of the two companies is TV advertising attribution. By building a predictive conversion model based on Beeline TV data we open up opportunities for a detailed analysis of connection between consumers’ contacts with TV ads and their purchases in offline stores, which in turn allows us to optimize subsequent advertising campaigns and increase ROI by 15-20%.

Addressable TV

ADV Lab & Benchmark solution, which allows you to customize the display of Smart TV ads for specific households, as well as purchase Smart TV advertising inventory based on ratings points (CPP model).

The project partners are Mail.ru Group and online cinema ivi.
