Samsung Electronics is a global leader in technology and innovation, with a wide range of products and services used by millions of people around the world. The Samsung Ads business has developed a proprietary ad platform that leverages unique first party TV data to help brands connect to their audience as they explore content across desktop, mobile, tablets and our Connected TVs. The Samsung Ad Platform delivers high-quality audience targeting powered by three key components : first-party audience data at scale, world-class data science, and brand-safe cross-device ad inventory.

As streaming expands consumer options and access to premium content, Samsung TV Plus, Samsung's free ad-supported TV (FAST) and on-demand (AVOD) service, has seen remarkable growth. Now with 88 million monthly active users and an over 50% increase in global viewership YoY, Samsung TV Plus' audience scale and engagement make it the #1 app in the U.S. on the #1 TV brand.
