IAS Launches Total TV for Connected TV Transparency
Integral Ad Science (IAS) has stepped up its commitment to transparency in the rapidly growing connected TV (CTV) sector with the introduction of its new CTV ad measurement suite, Total TV. This innovative set of solutions is designed to give advertisers a level of visibility reminiscent of traditional linear television, addressing longstanding challenges in accurately measuring and optimizing CTV campaigns across multiple streaming platforms.
A Unified View Across Major Streaming Platforms
Total TV empowers advertisers by providing show, genre, rating, language, and program-level data across some of the most popular streaming platforms, including Disney, Paramount, NBCUniversal, and Amazon Prime Video. Additionally, publishers utilizing the Publica ad server are integrated, ensuring comprehensive coverage. By aggregating these insights into IAS’s Signal reporting platform, the solution delivers a unified perspective on content, media quality, supply path, and campaign outcomes.
The fragmented nature of CTV, often characterized by walled gardens and disparate measurement standards, has made it difficult for advertisers to gain a true sense of campaign performance. With CTV ad measurement now consolidated under Total TV, marketers can finally access real-time, content-level metrics that are aggregated across programs, genres, language, apps, and platforms. This advancement enables more informed decision-making and improved transparency throughout the ad buying process.
Delivering Linear-Like Transparency
IAS’s Chief Product Officer, Srishti Gupta, emphasized the importance of transparency in the CTV ecosystem: “Transparency is the key to turning CTV impressions into targeted engagement. IAS Total TV serves as a visibility engine between buyers and sellers, delivering the transparency, control, and validation advertisers need to ensure their campaigns run in high-quality, relevant, and brand-suitable environments that drive real outcomes.”
By leveraging Total TV, advertisers can:
- Measure campaign performance with real-time, content-level data across multiple streaming services
- Utilize context control targeting to optimize ad spend before bidding occurs
- Evaluate CTV outcomes, including quality reach and incremental conversions
- Access cross-channel suitability controls for brand safety and relevance
- Leverage IAS’s verification tools, such as device verification and advanced invalid traffic protection
These capabilities are critical as the CTV landscape becomes more complex and competitive. CTV ad measurement is no longer a nice-to-have but a necessity for marketers seeking to maximize the impact of their advertising investments.
Industry Growth Fuels Demand for Measurement Solutions
The push for better CTV ad measurement comes as CTV advertising spend continues to surge. According to research from Advertiser Perceptions and Premion, nearly 70% of CTV advertisers plan to increase their spend in the coming year. Recent Nielsen data further underscores the shift, noting that as of Q4 2025, 74.2% of all U.S. TV viewing is now ad-supported, with streaming accounting for 45.6% of this share—the largest of any medium.
As advertisers allocate more budget to CTV, the need for reliable, granular measurement tools has become paramount. IAS’s Total TV aims to fill this gap by offering advertisers confidence that their ads are being delivered to the right audiences, in the right context, and with the assurance of quality engagement.
Competition and Innovation in the CTV Space
IAS is not alone in its efforts to reshape the CTV measurement landscape. Rival companies are also making moves to improve transparency and effectiveness. Recently, Viant, a demand-side platform operator focused on CTV, announced its acquisition of TVision Insights to integrate attention measurement into its programmatic buying platform. Meanwhile, industry leaders like Samsung, Comcast, and Tubi have introduced their own innovations around measurement and artificial intelligence at high-profile events such as the IAB NewFronts.
This wave of innovation signals a broader industry trend: as CTV cements its place at the heart of video advertising, the tools for measurement, attribution, and optimization are rapidly evolving. Marketers who embrace advanced CTV ad measurement solutions like IAS Total TV will be better positioned to capture audience attention and drive meaningful outcomes in an increasingly crowded digital landscape.
The Future of CTV Ad Measurement
As streaming platforms grow and diversify, the demand for sophisticated, transparent measurement solutions will only intensify. IAS’s Total TV represents a significant step toward delivering the clarity and confidence that advertisers have come to expect from traditional TV, now applied to the dynamic world of CTV.
By prioritizing transparency, embracing real-time analytics, and integrating advanced verification tools, marketers can unlock the full potential of CTV advertising—ensuring that every impression counts and every campaign delivers on its promise.
