Bringing Mobile-Grade Precision to Connected TV

Connected TV represents a major growth opportunity for app marketers, yet many existing CTV solutions rely on traditional demographic targeting and post-campaign measurement. Moloco Ads for Performance CTV changes this by building a true performance system from the ground up.

Every impression is optimized in real time against specific marketing outcomes, with attribution handled through the advertiser’s chosen mobile measurement partner. This creates a closed feedback loop that delivers the measurability and precision app marketers expect from mobile campaigns.

“Connected TV represents one of the biggest untapped opportunities for app marketers today,” said Sunil Rayan, Chief Business Officer & General Manager, Moloco Ads. “With Performance CTV, we're bringing the measurability and precision that app marketers expect from mobile to the world of television, giving them a genuinely new way to reach their audiences and drive results where attention has never been more valuable.”

Proven Results and Strategic Value

Early campaign results demonstrate strong performance. Campaigns running across both mobile and CTV have shown up to 1.5x higher return on investment on CTV. Additionally, approximately two-thirds of users who install an app after viewing a Moloco-delivered Performance CTV ad do so within six hours.

“Moloco Ads for Performance CTV was a key component of our college basketball strategy for Fanatics Sportsbook this March,” said Blair Hilton, Director of Performance Marketing at Fanatics Betting and Gaming. “Moloco played a central role in delivering strong campaign results – performance exceeded expectations and enabled us to reach a broader audience efficiently.”

Built on Three Core Pillars for App Marketers

Performance CTV is structured around three key pillars:

  • Access to premium, brand-safe household CTV inventory across a growing network of supply partners
  • Measurement transparency with full publisher-level reporting through preferred MMP integrations
  • True platform independence that optimizes based on what delivers the best results for the advertiser, informed by Moloco’s deep mobile performance expertise

These capabilities allow app marketers to maintain control, transparency, and accountability while extending their performance strategies to the largest screen in the home.

Moloco’s compound AI system, refined over more than a decade, already reaches two billion consumers across millions of mobile apps. With Performance CTV, this proven technology now extends to connected TV, helping marketers navigate the convergence of mobile, CTV, and retail media.
