Nexxen adds programmatic Smart TV home screens in APAC
Nexxen, an advertising technology platform, has launched a new capability to programmatically activate native Smart TV home screen advertising in the Asia-Pacific region. This new offering allows advertisers to integrate their campaigns directly into the user interface of Smart TVs. The company states this is a 'first-to-market capability' for programmatic native Smart TV home screen advertising in the APAC market.
Key Takeaways
- Nexxen says the capability is first-to-market for programmatic native Smart TV home screen advertising in APAC.
- The new offering places ads directly in the Smart TV user interface, not just inside streaming video.
- The launch comes from Nexxen, an advertising technology platform operating in the monetization and ad tech layer.
Why It Matters
Nexxen is moving programmatic buying into a Smart TV surface that sits above the stream: the home screen. That gives advertisers a direct way to buy device-level inventory in Asia-Pacific, where the company is claiming a first-to-market position. For the streaming ecosystem, it expands monetization beyond in-player video and into connected TV real estate tied to the TV interface itself. The key signal to watch is whether other APAC ad tech platforms launch similar home-screen formats after this rollout.
