Connected TV (CTV) is booming. By 2025, US adults will spend over two hours daily immersed in CTV content, with ad-supported streaming taking the lead as consumers look for cost-effective alternatives to subscription fatigue. The surge in viewership has unleashed a golden era for advertisers — but also a dizzying array of platforms and choices.
So, how do you cut through the noise to make an impact?
Enter Verve’s Brand+ Marketplace — the smarter way to connect with engaged audiences through premium, high-impact campaigns. With direct access to top-tier publishers, fraud-free and brand-safe inventory, and cutting-edge targeting, we help you drive results that matter.
Let’s dive into the five game-changing benefits that make Verve’s Brand+ Marketplace the ultimate choice for CTV buyers.
Efficient ad spends on direct, fraud-free, brand-safe inventory
A long path from media buyer to end user means intermediaries, resellers, the dreaded ad tax — and wasted ad dollars. To maximize campaign budgets, advertisers need more direct access to top publishers. Look no further than the Brand+ Marketplace, where you can tap into inventory.
But don’t just take our word for it. According to Pixalate’s Seller Trust Index, Verve’s CTV supply earns top marks (“Grade A”) on all major CTV operating systems, as measured by supply path optimization (SPO) scores. This reflects the depth of our direct relationships with publishers and is verified by publishers’ ads.txt
Fraud protection
Ad fraud wastes campaign budgets and undermines return on ad spend (ROAS). That’s why Verve provides a triple-layered fraud protection system to block invalid traffic before impressions are served and make it right in the rare instances of ad fraud.
- Proactive prevention: In-house algorithms adaptively learn complex patterns to detect fraud, and app-ads.txt adds transparency on inventory.
- Detection: We partner with objective, independent vendors like HUMAN and Pixalate to identify and block general and sophisticated types of ad fraud.
- Reaction: There’s no substitute for human intervention, and our experts are on hand to take rapid action.

Brand safety is more than an adtech buzzword, and it’s something we prioritize at Verve. Our Brand+ Marketplace is one of the few CTV marketplaces accredited with TAG registrations, ensuring the highest standards of brand safety. With access to 10,000+ pre-vetted, MFA-free publishers, buyers can trust that their ads will appear in the right context.
