Paramount launches its strategic partnership with Samba TV

Paramount Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) and Samba TV have announced their partnership.

The strategic partnership enables advertisers to reach TV audiences across every screen and achieve deduplicated incremental reach across Paramount’s premium and differentiated digital programming inventory.

The partnership will unlock the power of Samba TV’s measurement technology to provide advertisers with a more accurate and holistic understanding of television viewership across any device, channel and platform, including broadcast, linear and streaming.

Paramount’s brand-safe environment and rich first-party data will be enhanced with Samba TV’s actionable viewership audiences across all platforms to create clear pathways to minimise waste, maximise efficiency and achieve true incremental audience reach with greater precision, scale and impact.

Rod Prosser, chief sales officer, Paramount ANZ said: "We’re incredibly impressed with Samba TV’s technology and capabilities as well as their global scale and local expertise. We are confident that this strategic alliance will give our clients the edge and create more meaningful opportunities for advertisers to better connect with audiences through the content we know they love to watch.

"Samba TV’s technology further allows us to deepen our audience insights across our organisation. Spanning content acquisition, programming and marketing, we intend to embed this full audience view into Paramount ANZ to guide critical business decisions and enhance our competitive advantage."
