Users of connected TV’s most popular platform are about to see a major advertising upgrade.
Roku and Nielsen are shaking up the connected TV advertising landscape with a landmark deal and strategic alliance: Roku is acquiring Nielsen’s advanced video advertising (AVA) business, including the measurement company’s automatic content recognition and dynamic ad insertion technologies.
