PRECISE HOUSEHOLD-LEVEL TARGETING. INCREMENTAL REACH.

Audience Addressable TV advertising from Comcast

Comcast Advertising's addressable TV advertising product, Audience Addressable, allows for precise, household-level targeting across all screens, all within a single campaign. This approach to TV advertising can help you maximize effectiveness by reaching audiences most likely to take action.

Get Started

What is addressable TV advertising?

It uses data to put your ad precisely in front of the right households. Addressable advertising is targeted so that only those households within your desired audience receive your message.

This means different households tuning into the same program will receive different ads based on their specific characteristics. It also means you can deliver different versions of your ads tailored to different audience segments.

The result is a supercharged multiscreen addressable TV campaign that ensures your ads are more relevant and therefore more memorable.

How addressable TV advertising works

This solution uses household-level data to build audiences based or modeled on real attributes and characteristics. Different homes watching the same content can receive different ads, allowing more precise targeting across live TV, VOD, and streaming. After delivery, reporting and attribution help advertisers measure performance and refine future campaigns.

Addressable TV vs. linear TV, CTV, and OTT

Traditional linear TV advertising shows the same ad to every household watching a program, while addressable TV advertising can deliver different ads to different homes. It can also complement CTV and OTT strategies by extending household-level targeting across screens, making it a strong fit for brands looking to support broader digital advertising efforts.

It’s all in the data

Having accurate, reliable data is more important than ever.
Comcast first-party deterministic data, collected from more than 30 million Comcast households, paves the way for highly targeted addressable campaigns and enables advertisers to reach authenticated, high-value audiences.

Our data yields a 95% initial match rate2 and enables you to reach authenticated audiences across live TV, VOD, and streaming. It’s based on our actual customer data, so it stays relevant for longer, compared to IP-based data whose accuracy drops to as little as 24% after 90 days.2 This high level of accuracy helps brands activate addressable audiences with confidence.

Plus, we match insights from our first-party data with third-party insights to identify your target audience with even greater precision. We can also use insights you provide for an added layer of precision.
