# Use Case:Incremental Reach (Linear Reach Extension)

Samsung DSP offers advertisers the ability to leverage Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) data to identify audiences who have been underexposed or unexposed to their linear campaign. These audiences can then be targeted with Connected TV (CTV), mobile, and desktop inventory. The incremental reach can then be measured using the Incremental Reach Report.

## Step 1 - Include linear ads for reporting

To measure incremental reach of your campaign, you must add linear ads to your campaign to see linear exposure in the Incremental Reach report and identify incremental reach by ad type.

1. In the Campaign form, under **General Settings**, tick the **Count exposure of your linear TV ads into your audience reach** next to **Linear TV ads reach**.
2. Search applicable ads and select the ads you want to include by clicking the checkmark  :

### Fingerprint and Custom Content

Samsung DSP allows you to fingerprint your video content to ease the monitoring of its exposure on Samsung TVs. See [Custom Content](/docs/custom-content) for more information.

## Alternate Method: Audience Builder for linear audience suppression

          
          

This method relies on suppressing audiences that have been exposed to the linear ads from the advertiser. Once a user is added to the segment (on being exposed to the linear ad), they will no longer see ads from any flight targeting that audience segment. This will thus prevent any subsequent impressions to the affected devices or IPs throughout the campaign.

### Create linear audience for suppression

The first step is to create an audience for suppression, which will consist of the TIFA ([Tizen ID for Advertising](http://www.samsungtifa.com)) for the TVs that have been previously exposed to your ad(s)/campaigns. Follow the steps below to create this audience and thereafter exclude it, in order to target the TVs that have not previously been exposed to your linear ads:

1. Under the **Include Segments** section of a new audience, click **Add segments**. See [Audiences](/v1/docs/audiences) if you don’t know how to get access to this page.
2. In the pop-up window, select the country of your audience.
3. In the left pane, select **Linear ads**.
4. In the right section, select **Study Period** and click the calendar icon to pick the date your linear ad began.
5. For **Advertiser/Brand OR Content**, select the advertiser or brand to include all linear ads of that Advertiser/Brand or select the specific content (linear ad) you want to exclude.
6. Click **Add segment** to validate your changes.
7. Click **Create Audience** to confirm the creation of this audience.

          
          

You can only create a Study Period of 90 days into the future, so be sure to go back in and update the Study Period of the audience at or before 90 days.

1. Add this list consisting of all TVs that have been exposed to your linear ad(s) to the flight. This is done by targeting this newly created segment with your flight. See [Flight Targeting](/v1/docs/flight-targeting) for more information.
  1. In the Targeting tab, select **Smart TV lists**.
  2. Find the name of the segment defined earlier and click the forbidden sign icon  to exclude the segment.
  3. Click **Save** to confirm.

### Include additional audiences

In this step, you will add your other audiences that you are targeting for incremental reach, including CRM, 3P, 1P, geo etc. You can do it by either using the **Geography** / **Device and Browser** / **IP List** options in the **Targeting** tab or third-party DMPs (data management platforms) such as Lotame, LiveRamp in the **Audiences** tab.

1. Click the checkmark icon  next to the segments you wish to include.
2. Click **Save** to confirm.

## Step 2 - Measure your incremental reach

Samsung DSP provide you with two reports to measure the exposure of your ads.

- See [Reach & Frequency Report](/docs/reach-frequency-report) to measure the number of devices that were affected by your ad and get details about the frequency.
- See [Incremental Reach Report](/docs/incremental-reach-report) to measure the performance of your ads  by comparing your linear reach with reach achieved via Samsung inventory and/or cross-device.
