What is The Trade Desk?

The Trade Desk is a demand-side platform (DSP) that lets advertisers plan, buy, and measure programmatic campaigns.

Unlike closed platforms, it operates across the open internet. Therefore, you get more control, more flexibility, and clearer visibility into where ads appear.

Connected TV Advertising on The Trade Desk

Connected TV is one of the biggest reasons brands choose to advertise on The Trade Desk.

CTV combines the impact of television with the targeting power of digital. As a result, brands can reach audiences on the biggest screen in the home, while still measuring performance clearly.

With The Trade Desk advertising, you can access premium streaming inventory including Disney, Netflix, and DAZN. However, there is much more available too. Because The Trade Desk connects to the wider open internet, you can also reach a broad range of broadcaster apps, publishers, and streaming services at scale.

That means The Video Ad Agency can build campaigns that maximise reach without sacrificing quality.

Advanced Audience Targeting

Another major advantage is audience precision.

You can target using:

  • First-party data (CRM lists, site visitors)

  • Third-party segments

  • Contextual targeting

  • Lookalike audiences

  • Retargeting across devices

  • Frequency controls to reduce wasted spend

In addition, campaigns can be optimised in real time. Therefore, performance improves as more data is collected.

Transparent Reporting and Measurement

A key reason brands trust The Trade Desk is transparent reporting.

You can measure:

  • Reach and completion rates

  • Engagement signals

  • Conversions and attribution

  • Where ads actually ran

As a result, you always know what is working and what should be scaled next. At The Video Ad Agency, we turn this into clear actions and optimisations, not just dashboards.

Other Advertising Channels on The Trade Desk

Although Connected TV is the core channel, The Trade Desk also supports multi-channel activation across the open internet.

This means you can build campaigns that don’t stop once someone has seen your ad on the TV screen. Instead, you can continue the customer journey across other key formats and devices.

With The Trade Desk, brands can extend campaigns into:

  • Online video, helping you reinforce messaging on mobile, desktop, and streaming environments

  • Display advertising, ideal for maintaining visibility and supporting consideration

  • Audio and podcast inventory, allowing you to reach audiences during commutes, workouts, or daily routines

  • Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH), placing your brand in real-world locations with measurable impact

As a result, The Trade Desk makes it possible to run a full-funnel strategy, combining awareness, consideration, and conversion within one connected ecosystem.

In addition, managing these channels together allows for better frequency control, smarter budget allocation, and more consistent brand delivery across every touchpoint.
