Advertisers and agencies gain full visibility into how CTV viewers are converting

WALNUT CREEK, Calif., April 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — JamLoop, the technology provider making CTV more accessible to advertisers and agencies, announced the launch of Attribution for clients using their demand-side platform to buy CTV. JamLoop developed the new capability in response to customers wanting to maximize exposure to their ads with full visibility into how viewers are converting to visitors, shoppers, and buyers.

Premium attribution for advertisers and agencies for CTV campaigns

The introduction of Attribution from JamLoop gives advertisers and agencies actionable insights that move their customers through the funnel to conversion faster. JamLoop’s Attribution was developed keeping ease, customization, and conversions in mind with elegant dashboards and always-on intuitive reporting, simplifying campaign analysis.

Advertisers can leverage the insights from the Attribution dashboard to retarget or detarget specific audiences or buyers.

Attribution from JamLoop also includes robust data mapping, easy set-up, ongoing support, and integration with common ecommerce platforms.

“The launch of our attribution reporting and analytics tool shows our continued commitment to bringing clarity and expanding demand for CTV,” said Leif Welch, CEO of JamLoop. “We believe that everyone should be advertising on CTV which should be a critical part of any media mix. Up until now, advertisers and agencies looked to TV for top of funnel metrics but now with attribution, our customers can focus on moving their buyers from awareness through to purchase more quickly with the transparency and actionable insights from our data.”
