One-Stop-Shop For The Marketers
Samsung Ads offers marketers a “one-stop-shop” for the management, measurement, and optimization of campaigns across multiple media channels and devices.

Several DSP partners, such as Adobe, Experian, and Merkle, also offer access to curated audiences in a simplified and privacy-safe manner. Melaragno told Beet.TV,
This can both help to drive business outcomes, but also achieve that total audience reach across your linear buy as well as your buy in all these new streaming apps. We’re going to help to optimize the inventory on your behalf and we’re going to make sure that you reach that optimal reach and frequency across your holistic video buy.

Meanwhile, media companies continued to offer ad-supported video on demand (AVOD) and free ad-supported TV apps (FAST) which contributed to audience fragmentation. Buyers will work with every media company and will negotiate the price with them on their own terms, Melaragno said,
We wanted to offer the solution that allows them to bring that media that they purchased, whether it’s through the upfront or through the scatter market, and for us to help them manage it across their total audience on Samsung smart TVs.
As quoted by Adexchanger, he also added that the pre-upfronts timing is intentional.
Advertisers are thinking about their next upfront cycle , and Samsung Ads can help them optimize across all buys they’re working on through current partners.
