The Anti-Greenwash Exchange: Verified Contextual PMPs in Action
The programmatic industry has been oversaturated with so-called “green PMPs.” These packages promise sustainability, but often deliver inflated CPMs, unverifiable claims, and little to no improvement in campaign performance. Advertisers are increasingly questioning what they’re paying for — storytelling or results. At MarkApp, we take a different path. Through Pantheon, our proprietary contextual bidder for CTV and mobile apps, we have launched Verified Contextual PMPs — curated, audited marketplaces where every signal is transparent, and outcomes are measurable. What Makes It Different? Instead of paying a markup for vague “eco-friendly” stories, advertisers gain: Transparent signals — content category, device type, app taxonomy, engagement scores, and brand safety flags. Audited supply — verified against HUMAN and Pixalate, operating under IAB TCF compliance. Premium direct access — to Rakuten, TCL, Scripps, WedoTV, and top SDKs like Bidmachine, Digital Turbine, Verve Real Examples in Action 1. Travel & Tourism – Turkish Airlines with CTV StorytellingIn June 2025, Turkish Airlines partnered with MarkApp to amplify its tourism campaigns across premium CTV inventory. Instead of paying into “green” PMPs, the campaign ran via a Verified Contextual PMP powered by Pantheon. Contextual targeting aligned ads with content tagged under “culture,” “exploration,” and “leisure” on Rakuten and TCL smart TVs. Attention scoring showed a 28% higher engagement uplift vs open exchange CTV traffic. Measurable outcomes: 21% increase in site visits from households exposed via CTV, tracked across connected devices. 2. Consumer Goods – Coca Cola in Lifestyle ContentCoca Cola leveraged Pantheon’s contextual PMPs to run awareness campaigns on Wedotv, Rakuten, Scripps (including inventory of Samsung TV plus, PlutoTV, etc through them). Ads were only served in lifestyle, fitness, and healthy living content categories. HUMAN and Pixalate verification confirmed 99.2% IVT-free traffic. CPMs were stable, not inflated by “greenwashed” label markups, saving ~15% on media costs. 3. Financial Services – Bitrue Thought LeadershipBitrue in LATAM worked with MarkApp to distribute thought-leadership video across mobile SDKs (Verve, Digital Turbine). Pantheon enriched bid requests with geo-language signals (Spanish/English) and professional categories like “business” and “finance.” The Verified Contextual PMP enabled Bitrue to measure brand lift in C-suite audiences with signal enhanced integrations. Campaign results: +35% longer video completion rates compared to non-contextual PMP buys. Why This Matters Advertisers don’t need “greenwashed” labels to feel better about their spend. They need signals they can trust, outcomes they can measure, and partners who are accountable. MarkApp’s positioning as “The Anti-Greenwash Exchange” reflects our promise: no fake sustainability markups, only transparent, audited, contextual marketplaces that deliver results. As CTV continues to represent 60% of our business and Q1 2025 showed >25% EBITDA margins, we’re scaling this initiative globally across direct CTV, mobile apps, and curated DSP demand. This isn’t just a marketing slogan. It’s the future of programmatic accountability.

Google Sandbox & Cookie Deprecation – Where We Stand
Google’s long-promised phase-out of third-party cookies in Chrome, originally scheduled for 2022, has seen several delays. As of July 2025, the cookie deprecation is still partially rolled out, with significant friction between privacy compliance, publisher monetization, and advertiser readiness. Current Status Chrome now blocks third-party cookies for around 50% of global traffic under the Privacy Sandbox initiative. Google’s Protected Audience API (PAAPI) and Topics API are still under testing, with mixed adoption. The IAB’s TCF (Transparency and Consent Framework) remains critical for Europe, and MarkApp is officially registered as a TCF vendor (#1406), aligning all Web and App inventory with privacy-first targeting standards Impact on Advertisers & Publishers Advertisers face growing inefficiencies in behavioral retargeting and attribution. Publishers see downward pressure on CPMs unless alternative IDs or contextual strategies are employed. DSPs and SSPs are doubling down on server-side infrastructure and ID-agnostic signals. How MarkApp Leads in This Transition Pantheon, our proprietary contextual bidding engine, avoids reliance on cookies altogether and thrives in cookie-restricted environments. Our Prebid Adapter for web and app ensures full compliance and monetization continuity for publishers transitioning away from ID-based targeting With over $20M in revenue and 350% YoY growth in Q1 2025, MarkApp’s cookieless solutions have proven market validation Strategic Advice for Our Partners Future-proof your campaigns by shifting budget from cookie-dependent environments to CTV, mobile apps, and contextual-rich web placements. Ensure ads.txt and sellers.json integrations are ID-agnostic and aligned with Prebid and ORTB 2.5+ standards. Use contextual audience packages developed by MarkApp’s AI segmentation engine to maintain targeting precision.
Contextual Advertising vs. Cookie-Based Advertising – The Present & Future in Web, App and CTV Environments
As we move deeper into a privacy-first digital era, the advertising world finds itself at a critical crossroads. Contextual advertising, once seen as a legacy method, has re-emerged as a scalable, future-proof strategy, while cookie-based advertising, despite its precision, faces mounting limitations. In 2025, the distinction between the two is not just philosophical—it directly impacts campaign performance across web, mobile apps, and Connected TV (CTV). Understanding the Two Models Cookie-Based Advertising relies on third-party identifiers to track user behavior across the internet. It enables retargeting, behavioral profiling, and frequency capping. Contextual Advertising targets based on the content being consumed in real time—no user tracking involved. It’s fully aligned with privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA) and works across all devices and environments. Performance & Adoption Trends (2025) In Web environments, cookie-based models have diminished effectiveness due to browser restrictions (e.g., Safari, Firefox) and consent limitations. Contextual solutions now dominate prospecting campaigns. On Mobile Apps, IDFA and GAID limitations have pushed advertisers toward SDK-based contextual signals. MarkApp leverages first-party app data and contextual SDK integrations via partners like Digital Turbine and Verve. In CTV, cookies never existed. Here, contextual advertising is the default strategy. MarkApp’s Pantheon contextual bidder, operating across premium CTV partners like Rakuten, TCL, WedoTV, and Scripps, drives +28% engagement uplift using content-level metadata without user IDs. Why Context Matters Contextual signals—such as genre, time-of-day, screen type, and content tone—now outperform user-based models in high-attention environments like CTV and in-app video. At MarkApp, Pantheon processes over 15 billion monthly bid requests with real-time enrichment, enabling smarter, privacy-compliant decisions for DSPs and advertisers across 60% of activity in North America, 30% in EMEA, and growing in APAC/LATAM. Final Takeaway Cookie advertising still holds value in closed ecosystems and performance-heavy lower-funnel campaigns. But contextual advertising, especially when AI-enhanced as in MarkApp’s stack, is shaping the future of scalable, privacy-safe advertising across all channels.
Destination Discovery Through the Big Screen: CTV’s Role in Shaping the Future of Travel Advertising
As global travel rebounds, the way consumers discover destinations has fundamentally changed. No longer limited to desktop research or mobile search ads, today’s audiences are exploring the world from their living rooms through immersive Connected TV (CTV) content and premium OTT apps. At MarkApp, we’ve seen a dramatic surge in travel-related CTV performance. Brands have leveraged our CTV inventory to reach high-intent travelers at scale, using contextual targeting to align ads with content themes like exploration, culture, and leisure. CTV offers a unique canvas for travel storytelling. Full-screen video, surround sound, and premium content environments create an emotional resonance unmatched by display or mobile formats. During Q4 2024, campaigns using mid-roll placements across WedoTV, TCL saw a 42% higher ROAS versus standard video. MarkApp’s Pantheon contextual bidder plays a pivotal role in this transformation. Our platform enriches every bid request with real-time metadata—including content genre, viewer location, language, and screen type allowing advertisers to deliver destination ads when viewers are watching relevant programming like documentaries, cooking shows, or adventure series. Travel marketers can now activate geo-specific creatives across AVOD and FAST channels with precise frequency capping and cross-device sequencing. By matching CTV with mobile retargeting and high-impact web placements, MarkApp enables brands to create full-funnel journeys that turn interest into bookings. In 2025, we’ve expanded our contextual taxonomy to include travel-specific signals such as airport proximity, trip planning behavior, and device context (e.g., smart TVs in shared households). This allows for deeper segmentation and custom PMP deals for tourism boards, airlines, and hospitality brands. Moreover, our integration with leading DSPs and supply partners ensures scale without sacrificing quality. All inventory is brand-safe, fraud-protected, and certified under IAB TCF standards—giving marketers confidence in campaign integrity. Whether the goal is to build brand awareness for a resort, drive direct bookings for flights, or promote off-season travel, MarkApp’s CTV infrastructure offers the contextual power and audience intelligence to make every impression count. As the travel industry embraces digital storytelling, the big screen has become a gateway to global discovery. And at MarkApp, we’re proud to help brands turn viewer inspiration into real-world exploration—one connected moment at a time.
How Agencies Scale Campaign Success with CTV and Contextual Buying
2025 is being hailed as a breakout year for independent media agencies and for good reason. Armed with flexible teams, agile planning, and the freedom to test emerging formats, these agencies are increasingly outperforming legacy holding groups. At the heart of their success? The strategic use of Connected TV (CTV) and contextual platforms that provide precision without complexity. At MarkApp, we’ve partnered with dozens of forward-thinking agencies across Southeast Europe, MENA, and North America. What unites them is a demand for smarter media—tools that deliver cross-screen effectiveness, campaign transparency, and outcome-based pricing. CTV offers independent agencies a level playing field. Unlike linear TV, where buying power determines access, programmatic CTV allows any agency to activate high-impact campaigns across the biggest screens. Through our Pantheon contextual bidder, these agencies can deploy budget efficiently across TCL, WedoTV, Scripps, Rakuten and other curated supply, targeting viewers based on content engagement and screen behavior. The shift from audience-based targeting to contextual intelligence is particularly valuable for smaller teams. With ID-based targeting constrained by privacy laws and platform limitations, MarkApp empowers agencies to segment campaigns using app genres, screen types, time of day, and contextual taxonomies—without relying on cookies or device IDs. In 2024, over 50% of MarkApp’s agency spend occurred within CTV environments, and ROAS benchmarks for independent agencies rose by 34% YoY. These results stem from real-time data enrichment, open RTB 2.6 support, and creative optimization strategies tailored to each supply partner’s UX. Campaigns for clients like Xiaomi, Nike, and Redbull leveraged shoppable formats and mid-roll placements across FAST channels and AVOD apps. With Pantheon’s geo-intent layers and AI segmentation, agencies could tap into vacation seekers, lifestyle audiences, or even high-frequency app users—all in brand-safe, premium environments. Independent agencies are also benefiting from MarkApp’s billing automation, real-time reporting dashboard, and cross-device attribution tools. These systems eliminate the need for heavy infrastructure, giving smaller agencies the sophistication of a network-level trading desk with none of the overhead. In a market defined by fragmentation, it’s the partners who enable clarity and performance that win. MarkApp continues to invest in capabilities that empower agencies of all sizes to deliver contextual, scalable, and results-oriented media strategies. As we move into the second half of 2025, the independent agency advantage is clear and CTV is their launchpad. Through contextual intelligence, premium supply, and agile technology, MarkApp is proud to help them lead the next wave of media innovation.
CTV’s Next Growth Frontier: Why Contextual Platforms Are Driving the Revenue Boom
As the advertising ecosystem matures, Connected TV (CTV) is outpacing expectations—both in consumer adoption and revenue generation. In 2025, CTV ad revenue is forecasted to rise by 26%, reflecting a massive shift in how advertisers allocate budget and reach their target audiences. At the forefront of this transformation is a pivot toward contextual platforms that deliver relevance without reliance on user IDs. MarkApp has seen this growth curve firsthand. In 2024, CTV accounted for over 60% of our revenue, solidifying its role as our primary business driver. That’s not by chance. It’s the result of deep investments in publisher partnerships with premium players like TCL, WedoTV, Rakuten TV, and Scripps, paired with advanced bidding intelligence through our Pantheon platform. Why is CTV exploding now? Three key forces converge: audience scale, screen quality, and contextual innovation. Viewers are consuming more premium video on large screens at home, and marketers need effective ways to reach them in brand-safe, high-attention environments. Contextual targeting solves the challenge of personalization without privacy invasion, allowing advertisers to optimize placement based on genre, app, time of day, and screen behavior. MarkApp’s Pantheon bidder enriches over 7 billion bid requests per month with metadata like content category, IAB segments, engagement scoring, and device-level insights. This unlocks performance outcomes that go beyond reach and frequency. In fact, campaigns using Pantheon in Q4 2024 saw a 39% increase in fill rates and a 28% improvement in completion rate on skippable ads. At the same time, our direct integration with demand partners like Xandr, Sovrn, & Adform ensures that programmatic buyers can transact with trust and transparency. Unlike traditional CTV buys that rely on broad targeting and static placements, our ecosystem empowers dynamic optimization and real-time bidding logic. The result? Advertisers not only achieve better cost efficiency but also drive measurable outcomes like ROAS, brand lift, and lower CPM volatility. That’s why brands like Turkish Airlines, Carrefour, Xiaomi, and T-Mobile continue to scale campaigns with MarkApp across international markets. From a product perspective, we’re continuing to enhance our CTV stack with interactive ad formats, shoppable video, and cross-device targeting capabilities. Combined with AI-driven decisioning and transparent measurement through advanced tools, MarkApp offers a future-proof way to buy into premium CTV at scale. The 2025 growth forecast is not just a media headline, it’s a call to action. Advertisers who invest early in contextual CTV infrastructure will own the upper-funnel moments that drive long-term loyalty. And independent adtech platforms like MarkApp are uniquely positioned to deliver that value, without walled gardens or data silos. As we move forward, CTV is no longer a complementary channel. It’s the new centerpiece of digital brand storytelling. And with the power of context, its performance potential is just beginning.
Unlocking Seasonal Shopping Momentum: CTV’s Role in Performance Marketing
As consumer habits evolve, seasonal peaks like Memorial Day no longer represent just retail milestones—they’re now data-rich opportunities for contextual engagement across connected devices. With shoppers increasingly turning to Connected TV (CTV) to discover products and experiences during holiday seasons, marketers must shift strategies toward channel-aware, intent-driven campaigns. At MarkApp, we’ve seen firsthand how national holidays amplify media performance. In Q2 2025, our Pantheon contextual bidder processed a surge of over 950 million CTV bid requests tied to seasonal shopping behavior. Campaigns running during Memorial Day week saw a 34% higher engagement rate on CTV compared to standard video placements, and a 21% lift over mobile and desktop video environments. What drives this surge? The answer lies in consumer mindset and screen behavior. During long weekends and national breaks, viewers engage longer with CTV content, seeking inspiration and entertainment. This translates into higher dwell time, longer ad exposure, and more receptivity to tailored offers especially when those offers are placed in contextually aligned environments like TCL, Rakuten TV, or Scripps. MarkApp’s proprietary contextual signals delivered via OpenRTB 2.6 enable advertisers to tap into granular content taxonomies, app genres, time-of-day insights, and household-level engagement scores. These real-time enrichment layers unlock smarter buying strategies during seasonal periods. For example, a travel brand promoting weekend getaways can target viewers watching documentaries or travel shows on Rakuten or WedoTV, while a consumer electronics brand may engage users streaming tech-related content on TCL. The Pantheon bidder’s adaptive engine dynamically aligns creatives with the optimal placement by analyzing metadata in real-time. Unlike traditional audience targeting that relies on cookies or identifiers, Pantheon drives performance through context a method proven to outperform behavioral data in a post-ID era. During the 2024 holiday season, advertisers who activated Pantheon saw a 29% lower cost-per-action and 3x higher return on ad spend (ROAS) in key consumer verticals. Why should this matter to agencies and brand marketers? Because timing and intent now dictate effectiveness. Seasonal events represent compressed windows of opportunity, and CTV offers a high-attention, living-room-first screen with proven lift across both branding and performance KPIs. In a world where privacy regulations continue to limit legacy targeting techniques, contextual targeting becomes not just an alternative—but the most sustainable performance solution. MarkApp’s blend of CTV partnerships, proprietary taxonomy layers, and real-time data intelligence positions us to help advertisers win during these moments that matter. With over 5 billion monthly CTV impressions globally 60% in North America and 30% in EMEA, MarkApp delivers unmatched scale and contextual relevance during retail surges. We are proud to empower leading advertisers to connect with audiences not only where they are but also when they’re most likely to engage. The future of holiday advertising isn’t just about timing it’s about context. And at MarkApp, we’re turning seasonal spikes into strategic victories with every impression.

Their alignment with our real-time contextual engine, Pantheon, makes them a key strategic supply partner,” says Sotiris Oikonomou, Managing Director of MarkApp. A Win for Advertisers, Developers, and Agencies This partnership creates a unique performance loop for all stakeholders: Developers get direct demand, improved CPMs, and full control over placements Agencies gain contextual brand-safe environments and higher ROAS Advertisers access verified SDK supply with deterministic targeting and minimal fraud risk Combined with MarkApp’s integrations with quality vendors and its IAB TCF registration, this partnership brings unmatched quality and trust to the in-app monetization space.
