VIZIO Ads, the award winning TV company’s direct-to-device advertising business, today unveiled Universal Frequency Control, a new capability that enables brands to set limits on how often a VIZIO TV within a household is exposed to specific ad creative when placing an ad through its platform.

Solving one of the biggest problems plaguing the over-the-top and connected TV marketplace, Universal Frequency Control persistently measures the number of times an ad is exposed at the glass-level for each TV in a household across linear, CTV, VOD (video on demand) and OTT. With in-flight optimization, brands can limit the number of times a VIZIO Ads media buy reaches a device per day, week or month.
