Bidtellect Offers CTV/OTT Advertising Solutions for Improved Bidding, Targeting and Optimization
With 55 million cord-cutters in 2022, connected TV (CTV) and over-the-top (OTT) advertising are not just a ‘nice to have’ but an essential part of a media strategy. The addition will give Bidtellect users access to new audiences, engagement, and strategy.

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. – September 7, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
In the United States, there are more video-on-demand subscriptions than people, with 340 million subscribers for over-the-top (OTT) services. Bidtellect, a leading demand-side platform and advertising technology company, announces the launch of a new CTV/OTT solution that connects brands with audiences where they are already consuming content and expands brands’ reach beyond linear TV.
Users will be able to leverage Bidtellect’s unique and unmatched performance bidding and optimization technology to seamlessly incorporate CTV/OTT into their media buying strategy.
Benefits of Bidtellect’s solution include:
- Leveraging the company’s cost-efficient bidding capabilities, especially Automatic Algorithmic Rate Determination (AARDvark), which is now available in CTV/OTT.
- Streamlining the planning, trading and execution with Bidtellect’s world-class support.
- Powered by Context — leveraging Bidtellect’s industry-leading context-driven technology and metadata coverage across the entire supply ecosystem.
- Access to the largest CTV/OTT enabled SSPs and premium publishers.
Clients will be able to activate CTV/OTT directly through Bidtellect’s DSP through all service models, with the ability to optimize and target premium content categories across multiple goals and bid types, plus utilize Bidtellect’s capabilities like budget fluidity, pacing, bid shading, creative flighting and more for maximum campaign ROI. CTV/OTT with Bidtellect will give brands and advertisers the chance to gain new audiences and re-engage with existing audiences in a new, strategic, complementary way.
Today, CTV/OTT advertising is an all but required component of a successful media strategy. With ⅔ of the US population projected to watch CTV content this year, eMarketer projects a 33.1% increase in CTV ad revenues for 2022, to $18.89 billion. Studies have proven most purchasing decisions are made at the household level, meaning the key to creating long-term customer connections is to deliver meaningful messaging to the members of the household. With Smart TV sales at record highs and linear TV audiences diminishing, CTV/OTT is the most engaging and cost-effective way to reach them.
“The way people access entertainment continues to evolve,” said Lon Otremba, CEO of Bidtellect. “In a sea of streaming choices, consumers want a knowledgeable voice to be a directional guide. Consumers are receptive – and expecting of – targeting and recommendations.”
One of the primary differences between OTT and CTV advertising is that OTT ads are typically served in the form of video ads within accessed video content. In contrast, CTV ads are usually served alongside apps that are installed on CTV devices or the device’s homepage itself. As a newer medium, advanced TV presents an evolving variety of monetization opportunities for advertisers willing to keep up.
“Our proprietary optimization algorithms are the smartest, most sophisticated in the industry and determine what creatives are driving results with audiences,” Otremba said. “Bidtellect utilizes a holistic approach to performance targeting that includes both contextual and audience models. Our range of proprietary contextual, targeting and optimization technology drives KPIs for more efficient delivery of ads.”

FRIDLEY, Minn. – September 7, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Stanton Berg, who enlisted in the Counterintelligence Corps and held a career in forensic science for over five decades, has completed his new book, “Marsha’s Poetic Expressions of June’s and Stan’s Love and Life and Alzheimer’s”: a stirring compilation of poems that explore the stages of losing a loved one after building an entire life with them, written by Berg’s dear friend Marsha, and collected for publication by the author.
“[I] first met Marsha several years ago when [I] published a special tribute to the caregivers around the world,” writes Berg. “Marsha read [my] tribute and also [my] reference to caregiving being God’s hands here on earth.
“Marsha, who lives in Texas and was once a schoolteacher there and a lady with great poetic abilities, had a father who came down with Alzheimer’s. [I] tried to assist Marsha with advice in the care of her father.
“Marsha, early on in [our] friendship, wrote two poems relating to caregiving and her father’s Alzheimer’s: ‘In Heaven, He Remembers’ and ‘His Hands.’ Being the prolific and excellent poet/poem writer that Marsha was, [I] set up a page on June’s Alzheimer’s website to collect and publish Marsha’s many poems. It is these many poems that now make up this book.”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Stanton Berg’s new book will provide comfort to those with loved ones who have passed from or are currently suffering with Alzheimer’s.

ALABASTER, Ala. – September 7, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Lee Selvage, a certified addiction counselor and licensed minister currently serving as an associate pastor in a small church, has completed his new book, “LIFE PRINCIPLES FOR THE VOYAGE OF LIFE: Valuable Wisdom for the Maturing Adolescent”: an engaging work that discusses how to take care of one’s body, avoiding drugs, making friends, and how to cope with the many changes that one experiences throughout life’s journey. The author offers valuable insight obtained through years of study and actual life experiences.
Author Lee Savage introduces his work, writing, “As I begin writing this little book for all the young boys and girls who are about to become teens, my life has advanced to its twilight. However, with all the twists and turns, obstacles and detours, it has been an interesting journey. There have been lots of happy years, but there have also been some sad years. Unfortunately, the sad years were created through my own mistakes and bad choices.”
He continues, “However, my goal for this piece of writing is to share wisdom and understanding with America’s youth as they begin this long but quick voyage we call life. It will seem to be a long journey; however, it will go by very quickly. So let me share with you some secrets, facts, and generally good advice about life that will help you if you learn and heed it. Perhaps it will prevent you from making a lot of the same mistakes that I and many others have made over the course of our lives.”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Lee Selvage’s new book concludes with an ominous warning of what may possibly happen as the church age ends.
