Question: Is there a tool that allows advertisers to create targeted, contextual ads for video content without disrupting the viewer experience?

If you want a platform to generate contextually targeted ads for video content that don't interrupt the video, Qortex is worth a look. The platform combines AI, computer vision and programmatic advertising to deliver interactive ad formats that are naturally embedded into video. It offers a range of ad formats, including Slide, Ad Insert, Shoppable and Text on Screen, and supporting tools like CatapultX Mesh and self-service interfaces for easy campaign setup. With Qortex, you can reach more than 1.5 billion impressions across multiple platforms and achieve higher completion rates and CTRs compared to traditional In-Stream ads.

Another contender is LensAI, which uses AI video and image analysis to insert ads into objects within visual content. The in-image and in-video advertising platform can target ads based on visual, text and audio content. LensAI is designed to be more privacy friendly since it can target content, not user-level identifiers, and it can be more effective for advertisers. The platform can accommodate a variety of ad formats, including animated SVG banners and interactive shopping features that can increase brand awareness and drive direct product purchases.
