Omnicom and NBCUniversal Launch AI-Driven Dynamic CTV Advertising

At the Cannes Lions festival, Omnicom Media and NBCUniversal unveiled a collaboration designed to shift CTV advertising from static spots to real-time, contextually relevant experiences. By integrating Acxiom audience data with NBCUniversal’s content metadata, the initiative enables brands to adjust creative assets mid-flight based on specific streaming environments.

Omnicom and NBCUniversal Launch AI-Driven Dynamic CTV Advertising

The new Dynamic Contextual Content (DCC) solution leverages AI-powered optimization to align messaging with the nuances of individual episodes and viewing moments. This approach addresses a fundamental disconnect identified in Omnicom Media’s recent 'Connected Content' study: while streaming technology has advanced, traditional creative delivery has lagged behind consumer expectations for personalization. Megan Pagliuca, Chief Product Officer at Omnicom Media, noted that even premium CTV placements often lack consideration for the surrounding content. This partnership aims to bridge that gap by using AI to map creative variants to specific content moments that resonate most strongly with targeted audiences.

Ryan McConville, Chief Product Officer and EVP of Ad Products & Solutions at NBCUniversal, emphasized that the collaboration provides marketers with actionable creative optimization in a fragmented ecosystem. By integrating these capabilities into the Omni platform, brands can track how specific contextual tags and creative versions impact business objectives. The system is currently in beta, with a full US launch expected by the end of 2026.
