Distribute an Audience (OTT Hub)

Caution

This article is intended for users of the OTT Hub. If you are not an OTT Hub user, see the article "Distribute an Audience" in our main Advanced TV section.

Once an audience has been built, you can distribute the devices in that audience to a pre-implemented ad-serving platform on behalf of the buyer.

  1. From the Advanced TV navigation menu, click Audiences in the OTT Hub section to navigate to the Audiences page for OTT Hub.

A "distributed" icon appears in the status column for the audience you distributed and your audience will typically be available on your platform or your ad serving platform within one day.

Caution

Once you've distributed an audience, the audience is no longer editable. If you want to build a new audience that is similar to one you've already distributed, copy the distributed audience.
