Article summary

Off-the-Shelf (OTS) provides you the ability to use a collection of Samsung proprietary segments that you can combine for better targeting.
These segments include data on user behavior, interests, demographics, and more, allowing for more precise targeting of your audience.

With OTS, you can access this valuable data quickly and easily, without the need for complex data analysis or segmentation processes as this is handled by Samsung DSP's machine learning.

You can browse OTS categories and build audiences using the segments available to them in their region.
Samsung may periodically update the OTS catalog if new segments become available.

  • OTS Categories vary by region. Each country, or region, maintain their own list of OTS categories.
  • Segments automatically refresh on a monthly basis, collecting the latest IDs for a given segment definition.

OTS FAQs

Will my audiences have the latest version of the segment I want to target?

Yes, segments refresh on a monthly basis. Audiences and reporting using OTS segments use the latest OTS segments.

How can I tell when segments have updated?

You can reference the Last Updated field and refer to the date listed. Updates generally occur closer to the 10th of each month.

Will the OTS segments and categories change over time?

Segment lists may change with the addition and deprecation of segments and categories based on the needs of customers and the availability of new datasets.

Why are some categories available in one country but not in another?

At this time, we have regional-specific lists of categories due to varying requirements and regional data availability. Over time, OTS will become a more unified list of segments.

Can I apply the audience refinement on OTS segments?

OTS is not supported by the Audience Refinement feature. The segments are collections of TV IDs based on pre-made definitions and are not eligible for refinement.

Will the Audience Conversion feature work on my OTS segments?

Yes
