Internal Only ← CTV Signal DashboardAdvertisers lack a single view connecting CTV ad exposure to mobile app installs, in-app events, and web conversions. Current measurement requires stitching together MMP data (AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch) with CTV delivery reports manually, creating friction that slows CTV budget allocation.
53% of marketing decision-makers say they'd increase CTV investment with better ROI measurement (eMarketer 2026). Only 32% measure media holistically across TV and digital. G2 reviews cite Moloco's tracking features as rated lower than competitors. Moloco currently supports CTV measurement through AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch, and Singular integrations but lacks a unified view.
No native incrementality testing for CTV campaigns. Advertisers cannot isolate the true lift of CTV exposure vs. organic conversions. This is critical for justifying CTV budgets to CFOs and proving Moloco's outcome-based value proposition over reach-based competitors.
IAB Tech Lab 2025 roadmap prioritizes incrementality and attribution standards for converged TV. 47% of US marketers cite attribution/measurement as their leading investment priority. Competitors like The Trade Desk and StackAdapt offer geo-based lift studies and holdout group testing.
Moloco CTV currently supports standard video pre-roll. The market is rapidly moving toward interactive formats — QR codes, click-to-install overlays, shoppable product carousels — that bridge the gap between CTV exposure and immediate action. Tubi (a Moloco partner) just launched interactive formats independently.
Tubi announced new interactive ad formats and expanded tech partnerships at IAB NewFronts 2025. Interactive and transactional formats are transforming CTV from a branding tool into a performance channel. Moloco's current CTV creative is limited to video upload — no interactive layer. Competitors already offer shoppable, QR, and interactive CTV formats.
No CTV-specific dynamic creative optimization. Advertisers upload static video assets. The ability to dynamically assemble CTV creatives based on audience signals, time of day, geography, or product catalog would transform CTV from a branding medium to a true performance channel.
G2 reviews note limited creative management. CTV advertising guides highlight DCO as an emerging capability. Competitors like Innovid and Flashtalking offer CTV DCO. Moloco's ML engine could power creative-level optimization but the creative management layer doesn't exist yet.
FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV) channels are the fastest-growing CTV inventory segment. Moloco has the Tubi partnership but needs broader FAST supply — Pluto TV, Roku Channel, Freevee, Samsung TV Plus — to give advertisers sufficient reach for ML optimization to work.
Tubi partnership announced. FAST viewership growing 30%+ YoY. Moloco's ML engine needs volume for prediction accuracy — more diverse inventory = better optimization. Current Tubi-only FAST supply limits campaign scale. Paramount, Samsung, and Roku are all expanding FAST programmatic access.
CTV ad fraud remains a significant industry concern — bot traffic, spoofed devices, and misrepresented inventory. Moloco needs transparent supply quality scoring so advertisers trust the inventory their ML models are bidding on.
CTV ad fraud rates estimated at 10-15% of spend. Industry reports cite 'impression legitimacy and cross-platform comparability' as key blind spots. Currency fragmentation and data transparency are major pain points for CTV buyers. Moloco's ML optimization is only as good as the signal quality from supply sources.
Moloco's CTV campaign setup requires agency partnerships or managed service support. G2 reviews consistently cite a steep learning curve and overwhelming interface for beginners. Mid-market advertisers wanting to test CTV cannot easily self-serve, limiting TAM expansion.
G2 reviews: 'can be overwhelming for beginners' and 'steep learning curve.' Moloco does not allow individual advertisers to open accounts directly — access is typically via authorized agency partners. Minimum budget thresholds of $1,000-$5,000 create friction. Competitors like The Trade Desk and Google DV360 offer more intuitive self-serve CTV experiences.
The current analytics dashboard provides campaign metrics but lacks customization. Users report difficulty verifying efficiency by creative or platform, and the dashboard is not robust enough for enterprise reporting needs. New grid-based KPI charts (Aug 2025) were a step forward but don't address custom view and export needs.
G2: 'customer-facing dashboard or UI could be more robust and customizable.' 'Difficult to verify efficiency by material or platform.' MCM August 2025 changelog improved ad account home with grid charts, indicating awareness of the problem. Competitors offer drag-and-drop custom dashboards and scheduled report exports.
Moloco currently offers CTV app-install optimization and is 'expanding to optimization for purchases and ROAS in the near future.' This is Moloco's core differentiator — extending ML-based outcome optimization beyond installs to deeper funnel events on CTV.
Airbridge interview confirms Moloco currently offers 'app install optimization model with the ability to optimize funnel KPIs' and is 'expanding to optimization for purchases and ROAS in the near future.' This directly validates that Moloco themselves see this as a product gap. Nexon case study shows ROAS focus is already a key advertiser demand.
CTV lacks traditional user-level identifiers. As privacy regulations tighten, Moloco needs contextual targeting capabilities that use content signals (genre, mood, time-of-day, content metadata) to match ads to viewers without requiring device IDs or cookies.
IAB Tech Lab 2025 roadmap focuses on identity and privacy-safe measurement for converged TV. FCC/FTC regulatory actions are limiting targeting data. Moloco's value prop includes 'first-party data activation without cookies' but CTV-specific contextual signals are underutilized. Competitors are investing heavily in content-graph targeting.
Moloco has announced plans to 'build a unified platform that can optimize campaigns across web, app, and CTV channels' but this is not yet shipped. Advertisers currently manage CTV and mobile as separate campaigns with separate budgets, losing cross-screen optimization potential.
Korea Herald: Moloco 'aims to build a unified platform that can optimize campaigns across web, app, and CTV channels.' SceneCraft acquisition (Jan 2025) may signal creative/content investment. Competitors like The Trade Desk offer unified campaign management across screens. Cross-screen campaigns reduce CPAs by 20-40% in industry benchmarks.
No cross-device frequency management between CTV and mobile campaigns. Advertisers risk over-exposing users on CTV and mobile simultaneously, wasting budget and degrading experience. Sequential messaging (CTV awareness → mobile retarget) is a proven pattern with no Moloco support.
Industry data shows 47% of marketers cite holistic measurement as top priority. Only 32% measure across TV and digital. Moloco streams monetization solution mentions 'frequency control' for streaming but this doesn't extend cross-device. The Trade Desk and DV360 offer household-level frequency management.
