A Convergent TV Platform Built For Agencies

Mars United runs commerce media for 100+ brands. TV and CTV are the channel the attribution stack doesn't cover yet.

Mars United drives commerce media for more than 100 top brands through Walmart, Target, and Amazon. The retail media stack is sophisticated. TV and CTV are the channel where that attribution rigor doesn't yet extend -- no closed loop connecting a linear or streaming airing to the downstream site visit or retail conversion that followed. Tatari adds that layer at direct publisher CPMs.

Why we sent this
  • → Mars United's brands measure in e-commerce orders and retail sales. A CTV spot on Hulu drives online purchase activity the same evening. Tatari connects that airing to the conversion event -- giving Crystal the same attribution story for TV that Marilyn® already delivers on retail media.
  • → Most agencies buying CTV for travel clients route through a programmatic DSP -- The Trade Desk, DV360 -- which adds an SSP layer before the impression clears at Hulu or Peacock. That's the markup. Tatari holds direct relationships with those publishers and skips the SSP entirely. The CPM difference goes back into working media.
  • → Mars United's clients have measurable conversion funnels. Tatari connects every linear and CTV airing to those outcomes -- site visits, purchases, lead submissions -- the morning after each spot airs.
What Makes Tatari Different?
$10-13 CPM direct versus $25-30 programmatic. Same inventory. More reach. Attribution included.
Purpose-built for TV
Traditional DSPs were built for display and online video. They were never designed for how TV inventory actually works. Tatari was. Linear, streaming, and online video in one platform, with buying logic built around TV's unique clearance, pricing, and audience dynamics.
More impressions. Same budget.
Every CTV airing reports next-morning conversion data -- site visits, purchases, lead submissions -- by network, daypart, and creative. For Mars United's performance clients, that's the attribution layer that makes TV accountable the same way digital already is.
$10-13 CPM. Not $25-30.
Tatari holds direct publisher relationships with Hulu, Peacock, HBO, and every major linear network. For Mars United's clients, direct publisher relationships mean guaranteed placement in verified environments. No exchange adjacency risk. The inventory Mars United already plans, at publisher cost.

Agency Spotlight
How DAC made TV measurable and grew client revenue.

DAC came to Tatari with an established media practice but no TV-specific attribution. Adding Tatari connected every airing to real downstream outcomes and drove double-digit revenue growth.

"Tatari has modernized TV and made it measurable, which gives us the confidence to recommend TV to our clients."

Measurement that sticks
DAC cut their CTV CPMs moving off programmatic onto Tatari's direct platform. The same budgets delivered more reach. For Mars United, that math runs across every client buying CTV through programmatic today.
New revenue
A full TV service line
When Crystal runs the CPM comparison for a client -- here's the programmatic rate, here's the direct rate on the same Hulu or Peacock inventory -- the conversation is won before the campaign starts. That's a competitive advantage in every pitch.
Premium access
Inventory beyond programmatic
One MSA covers the full Mars United client portfolio at direct publisher rates. The CPM savings compound across every client running CTV. That's the conversation worth having at the agency level.
