Perfect for
Viant is best suited for mid-to-large brands and advertising agencies that need to run coordinated, measurable programmatic campaigns across multiple channels, particularly those investing heavily in Connected TV advertising.
- Agencies managing omnichannel programmatic campaigns for multiple clients who need a single-platform solution for planning, buying, and measurement
- Enterprise brands in verticals like auto, CPG, healthcare, retail, and entertainment seeking people-based targeting tied to real households rather than cookie-based proxies
- Advertisers prioritizing CTV as a performance channel who want advanced attribution, conversion lift, and attention measurement beyond basic impressions
- Marketing teams that need to connect online ad exposure to offline outcomes such as in-store purchases, foot traffic, or prescription fills
- Organizations looking for cookieless advertising solutions with deterministic identity resolution at scale
Key strengths
Patented Household ID technology links 115 million U.S. households to over 1 billion devices, enabling cookieless, people-based targeting and measurement
True omnichannel execution from a single platform spanning CTV, linear TV, mobile, desktop, audio, DOOH, and in-game channels
Comprehensive closed-loop measurement suite including conversion lift, foot traffic attribution, multi-touch attribution, and sales/purchase reporting with partners like Catalina and NCSolutions
AI-powered optimization tools (ViantAI, AI Bid Optimizer) that automate bidding and campaign performance across channels
Proprietary content intelligence through IRIS.TV acquisition enables content-level contextual targeting and brand suitability on CTV at scale
Considerations
Primarily focused on the U.S. market, with identity resolution capabilities centered on U.S. households
Not a logistics, ecommerce, or supply chain platform; Viant is purely an advertising technology company with no direct fulfillment or operations capabilities
Enterprise-oriented platform that may not be cost-effective for small businesses or advertisers with modest programmatic budgets
Self-service platform requires programmatic trading expertise or reliance on Viant's managed support to operate effectively
