August 5, 2024

XR Extreme Reach (XR), a technology company that powers the creative economy, has expanded its partnership with Roku, allowing advertisers to link all ads on the Roku platform to performance outcomes and better capitalise on insights from their data to drive targeting that marries creative with audiences.

Leveraging XR’s global network, advertisers can deliver ads directly to Roku’s scaled streaming platform to reach audiences with high impact creative and gain valuable insights that enable them to measure outcomes — tracking engagement, conversions and sales. This partnership will also unlock opportunities for advertisers to maximise creative effectiveness through intelligence, develop deeper segmentation for targeted campaigns and achieve more comprehensive campaign optimisation.

“Roku’s emphasis on data and immersive creative sets a new standard for TV performance,” said Jo Kinsella, President of SourceXR. “Creative is the centre of gravity for performance. This partnership allows us to uniquely connect Roku’s audience reach while fueling the performance outcome enablement that advertisers expect from their creative experiences.”

“Partnering with XR allows us to drive better performance for our brand partners,” said Miles Fisher, Sr. Director, Strategic Advertising Partnerships, Roku. “Reaching relevant audiences at scale with powerful creative and connecting that all the way through to critical business outcomes will give advertisers a new perspective on TV investments.”

“This partnership between Roku and XR opens new possibilities for us to deliver impactful creative directly to our target audiences while enabling our mutual customers to track engagement, conversions and sales more effectively than ever before,” added Marc Johnston, chief operating officer at brand response TV agency DirectAvenue. “By seamlessly linking our ads on the Roku platform to measurable performance outcomes, we expect to see significant improvements in targeting precision and campaign optimization,” added Johnston.

XR and Roku will open the partnership to shared customers, spanning a wide variety of verticals including Fitness, Financial and Health & Beauty.
