The integration gives marketers faster access to insights on how their MNTN Performance TV campaigns drive awareness, consideration, and other key brand metrics. As part of the partnership, Upwave’s measurement capabilities are now seamlessly connected to the MNTN platform, creating a streamlined path from campaign activation to insight. Advertisers can initiate Brand Outcomes measurement through a simple, click-to-measure experience within MNTN, enabling quick setup and rapid access to results. This expanded integration makes Brand Outcomes measurement more accessible and actionable. By simplifying setup and enabling a more self-serve experience, the partnership allows more advertisers to consistently measure and optimize brand impact. Upwave Proves Consistent Brand Lift with MNTN Across nearly 50 MNTN campaigns representing more than 1 billion impressions, 94% generated positive lift in at least one brand KPI and 85% outperformed Upwave Norms. Measured campaigns delivered average lifts of: <ul><li style="text-align:left;">+1.7% Aided Awareness</li><li style="text-align:left;">+1.5% Ad Recall</li><li style="text-align:left;">+1.1% Consideration</li><li style="text-align:left;">+0.7% Favorability</li></ul> These results underscore Performance TV's ability to drive measurable brand impact when paired with modern measurement tools. Meeting Growing Demand for Brand Measurement in CTV As more advertisers use Connected TV to build brands, understanding campaign impact has become increasingly important. Upwave helps marketers identify which audiences, creatives, and strategies are driving results, delivering insights quickly enough to inform optimization during a live campaign rather than after it ends. By contrast, traditional brand studies often deliver results weeks later, leaving little opportunity to apply those insights during the campaign itself. “Marketers are increasingly looking to understand not just delivery, but impact. This integration makes Brand Outcomes measurement a seamless part of MNTN’s workflow, so teams can quickly see what’s working and optimize with confidence,” said Chris Kelly, CEO and Founder, Upwave. “Television is one of the most powerful channels for a brand to activate, but the outcomes need to be visible while campaigns are still running,” said Mark Douglas, CEO of MNTN. “By bringing Upwave directly into MNTN, we're making it easier for advertisers to understand what's working and optimize toward stronger results in real time.” About Upwave Upwave is the Brand Outcomes Measurement Platform.
