What is automated contextual targeting?

Get closer to moments that matter in shows on ITVX with Automated Contextual Targeting v2.0, developed in partnership with leading digital intelligence platform, Captify.

How does it work?

ACT v2.0 uses Captify’s advanced contextual classification technology to identify moments and themes in ITVX shows.

Captify’s natural language processing and machine learning models are used to extract more precise show themes which are then categorised under their extensive contextual taxonomy. 

Buyable segments are then created from themes which are detected at sufficient density. These are available for selection in Planet V, allowing you to buy into the right moments for your AV campaign on ITVX.
