CTV Ad Generation

Get winning CTV ads, backed by your data.

Segwise helps performance teams see what drives results in their ads and make more of it. For CTV, it is a fully managed service: creative generation agents build 15 and 30-second TV spots from your brand and your winning ads, and a dedicated Creative Specialist gets each one broadcast-ready. Your first CTV ad is free.

How Segwise builds your CTV ads

A fitness app's winning creative patterns carried into a CTV spot

Start from your brand and what already works for you

Share your brand deck, product images, footage and b-roll, and every spot stays recognizably yours. Then connect the ad accounts you already run, such as Meta, TikTok, Google or LinkedIn. Segwise tags every ad in them, down to each hook, angle and offer, and works out which of those creative elements actually drive your conversions. Your TV spots are then built on the proven ones instead of a blank brief. Connecting is optional, and it is what lets your first CTV test start from proof rather than a guess.

Net-new 15 and 30-second TV spots, script and storyboard included

The generation agents build brand-new spots in both lengths, with the script, the voiceover and a scene-by-scene storyboard. You can see exactly what each scene does and why it is there before it goes anywhere near a TV screen.

Already have a social winner? Take it to TV too

On top of net-new spots, Segwise can take a TikTok or Reels ad that is already winning to TV as well, rebuilt rather than resized. On TV nobody can tap, nobody can skip, and they are watching from across the room, so vertical becomes full-screen widescreen, the selfie becomes a first-person voiceover, you get 15 and 30-second cuts, and the tap becomes a QR code or phone number, on screen throughout the spot or on the end card.

A dedicated Creative Specialist gets every spot broadcast-ready

CTV generation is a managed service, not another tool for your team to learn. The agents build each spot, then your Creative Specialist polishes it, tests it and delivers it in 1080p full HD, built to the specs of the networks you run on, from Vibe and The Trade Desk to DV360, YouTube on TV, Amazon and Roku. You review each spot, ask for changes, and run the ones you want, at a fraction of agency cost.

See how every spot performs, next to your social ads

Connect the networks your CTV runs on, such as Vibe, StackAdapt and Google Ads for YouTube on TV, and Segwise tags every spot and maps each element to completion rate, conversions and spend, in the same view as Meta and TikTok. If a hook works on social you can check in seconds whether it works on TV, and what wins on TV feeds straight into the next batch.

Why performance teams run CTV with Segwise

Your first CTV ad is free

Free Segwise video credits cover your first CTV ad, so your first campaign does not wait on a production budget or a shoot.

Run 25 spots, not the same 5

Most CTV advertisers run the same 5 to 7 ads for months because a TV spot takes weeks to make. Segwise makes a steady supply, each built from what already wins.

A fraction of agency cost

No retainer, no shoot and no edit suite. You get done-for-you TV spots every month without the six-week production cycle.

Made for the big screen

Full-screen 1080p widescreen, a voiceover, and a QR code or phone number instead of a tap, whether the spot is net-new or rebuilt from a winner. A phone ad stretched onto a TV wastes the most expensive screen in the house.

A Creative Specialist on every spot

The agents build it, then a dedicated Creative Specialist polishes and tests it until it is broadcast-ready. Nothing to fix or re-export before it can run.

TV results next to your social ones

Your CTV spots sit in the same view as Meta and TikTok, tagged and mapped to completion rate, conversions and spend, so what wins on TV sharpens the next batch.

Frequently asked questions

What is a CTV ad?

A CTV (connected TV) ad is a video ad that plays on a smart TV or streaming device, such as Roku, Amazon Fire TV or the YouTube app on a television. It plays full screen with the sound up, usually cannot be skipped, and cannot be clicked, which makes it a different creative problem from a social ad on a phone.

Can mobile apps and games use CTV for user acquisition?

Yes. A CTV spot drives installs through a QR code or phone number on screen, and installs that follow a view are attributed back to the spot, so CTV can be judged on installs and CPI like your other UA channels. Segwise builds the spots from what already wins in your mobile campaigns and shows their results next to Meta and TikTok.

How does Segwise make CTV ads?

You share your brand deck, product images, footage and b-roll, and optionally connect your Meta, Google, TikTok or LinkedIn accounts so Segwise can learn what already works across your channels. The creative generation agents then build 15 and 30-second spots, with the script, voiceover and storyboard, and a dedicated Creative Specialist polishes and tests each one until it is broadcast-ready.

How can I launch CTV ads quickly?

The slow part of CTV is usually the creative, because a TV spot normally means an agency and weeks of production. With Segwise you share your brand deck, product images, footage and b-roll, optionally connect your ad accounts, and the creative generation agents build 15 and 30-second spots that a dedicated Creative Specialist polishes and tests. Your first CTV ad is free, so there is no production budget to find before you launch.

Is my first CTV ad really free?

Yes. Segwise gives you free video credits for your first CTV ad, so you can see a finished spot built from your brand and your winning patterns before you commit to anything.

How do people act on a CTV ad if they cannot click it?

Each spot shows a QR code or a phone number, either throughout the spot or on the end card, so a viewer can scan it to go straight to your app or site, or call you, and the voiceover says the offer out loud. Conversions that follow a view are attributed back to the spot as view-through conversions, which is why CTV is measured on completion rate, conversions and spend rather than clicks.

Can you turn my existing social ads into CTV ads?

Yes. Segwise rebuilds a winning social ad for TV rather than resizing it: 9:16 vertical becomes 16:9 full screen, the selfie to camera becomes a first-person voiceover, you get 15 and 30-second cuts, and the tap becomes a QR code or phone number on screen.

Which CTV networks do you support?

Spots are built to the specs of whichever CTV networks you buy on, including Vibe, The Trade Desk, DV360, YouTube on TV, Amazon and Roku. Vibe also has a dedicated format option, so spots come out in its exact specs, ready to drop into your account.

What formats and lengths do I get?

15 and 30-second spots in 1080p, 16:9 widescreen, with voiceover, music and a QR code or phone number on screen, built to each network's specs, plus the script and a scene-by-scene storyboard for each.

Do I need a production team or TV experience?

No. CTV generation is a managed service. The generation agents build each spot and a dedicated Creative Specialist polishes and tests it, so you get finished ads without briefing an agency or running a shoot.

Can I ask for changes?

Yes. You review every spot before it runs. Tell your Creative Specialist what you want different, whether that is the hook, the voiceover or the end card, and the new version comes back polished and tested.

How do I see how my CTV ads perform?

Connect the networks your CTV runs on in Segwise, under Settings, then Ad Networks. That includes Vibe, StackAdapt, and Google Ads for YouTube on TV. Segwise tags every CTV ad you run and maps each element to completion rate, conversions and spend, in the same view as your Meta and TikTok ads.

How do I test CTV creative?

The same way you test on social: run more than one spot and compare them on the same numbers. Most CTV advertisers run the same 5 to 7 spots for months because each one is expensive to make, so real testing rarely happens. Segwise makes a steady supply of spots and tags each one, so you can see which hooks, angles and voiceovers drive completion rate, conversions and spend.

Are there offers for advertisers running CTV on Vibe?

Yes. If you are a Segwise customer running CTV on Vibe for the first time, Vibe matches your ad spend 1:1 with credits for your first 30 days: spend $5,000, run $10,000 of ads. Advertisers coming from Vibe also get 1:1 Slack support from a dedicated Creative Specialist.
