Tolka Highlights From IBC Including an Efficient Way to Use Your Set-top Boxes

Did you make it to IBC this year?

One thing we heard from folks we talked to during the show is that if you’ve got set-top boxes – whether you’re an OEM, broadcaster, or cable distributor – you want to do everything you can to monetize them.

There’s a simple solution that doesn’t require staffing, hours of your time, or upfront costs. 

You can use automation to insert relevant ads into programming via set-top boxes. Ads can be targeted based on demographics, location, and more. You can also use it to measure your audience in a way that’s affordable and accessible to even small and LPTV stations. 

It’s called Programmatic Ad Delivery Software (ADS Programmatic), and it’s a highly efficient way to fill open avails, give your advertisers accurate audience metrics, and maximize your ad revenue.

A client of ours that’s a prominent broadcaster in Indonesia found that the additional revenue they generated from filled avails using ADS Programmatic completely offset the cost of the new set-top boxes they had recently transitioned to. 

If you’re a broadcaster, LPTV operator, or cable distributor, we can collaborate with you and your set-top box manufacturer to get ADS Programmatic added to your broadcasts.

If you’re an electronics manufacturer, this cutting-edge solution can work for new or existing set-top boxes. Even if your boxes don’t have an internet connection, we can create a customized software solution, called ADS Personalized. 

Here are two other highlights from the Tolka booth at IBC…
