Equativ and Titan OS Launch Industry-First Programmatic CTV Home screen Video Ads
Published: 27 May 2026
Paris, France - 26th May 2026 - Equativ, the global independent media platform, today announced the expansion of its partnership with Titan OS to introduce the fi rst-ever programmatic connected TV (CTV) home screen video advertising solution across Europe and Latin America. The new offering enables advertisers to access premium home screen video inventory programmatically through Equativ’s end-to-end curation platform Maestro by Equativ.
Building on the strategic partnership established between Equativ and Titan OS in 2025, the launch marks a major step forward in CTV innovation by making one of the most valuable placements in the streaming experience - the TV home screen - available programmatically at scale for the fi rst time.
The new format gives brands the opportunity to engage audiences before content consumption begins, within a premium, uncluttered viewing environment. Through the integration, advertisers can combine high-impact home screen placements with Titan
OS’ first-party audience data to deliver more relevant, measurable, and immersive campaigns.
“CTV’s most valuable real estate has always been the home screen - our ad server now enables us to unlock programmatic access to this space at scale,” said James Grant, SVP, Product Marketing, CTV, Addressability and AI at Equativ. “Through this partnership, we’re fundamentally redefi ning how brands show up in the living room, giving advertisers greater opportunities to reach audiences in premium streaming environments.”
The offering will initially be available across key European and Latin American markets, enabling agencies and brands to activate campaigns programmatically with greater operational efficiency and scale.
With viewers spending an average of 18 minutes per day* on the home screen the format provides advertisers with unmatched visibility and attention at a critical point in the viewing journey. Brands can benefi t from:
● High-impact full-screen video placements before content consumption
● Access to premium, brand-safe CTV environments
● Improved campaign efficiency through programmatic activation
● Enhanced audience targeting using Titan OS’ fi rst-party data
“Opening the CTV home screen to programmatic demand creates a signifi cant new monetisation opportunity for Titan OS and our OEM partners,” said James Collins, CRO at Titan OS. “Through our partnership with Equativ, we’re enabling brands to access premium, high-attention inventory at scale while creating sustainable, incremental revenue streams across the connected TV ecosystem.”
Beyond tackling the complexities of the fragmented CTV landscape, such as siloed access to inventory, inconsistent workfl ows, and measurement difficulties across various platforms, this launch responds to evolving viewer habits. According to a recent Equativ study focused on video consumption, approximately 63% of viewers lack active engagement with television advertisements, and nearly 80% utilize a second device while watching TV. By creating a streamlined programmatic pathway to premium home screen inventory, Equativ and Titan OS are helping advance a more unifi ed, relevant and transparent CTV advertising ecosystem.
