About Finecast

Finecast, a GroupM company specializing in Addressable TV, delivers digital-like precision and accountability to advertising on the most powerful branding medium - television.

As TV audiences fragment across a range of premium video content, TV advertisers are grappling with how to continue making the best use of their most trusted medium. Finecast was created to help solve this challenge.

Finecast’s proprietary planning tool enables advertisers to precision-target viewers across premium video (On Demand, Linear and CTV). Using data and technology, Finecast helps advertisers reach their desired audience through a single access point to the addressable TV ecosystem. All Finecast campaigns are inherently viewable, running on TV screens within high-quality, brand-safe content with no ad blocking.

At Finecast, our vision is to advance TV advertising experiences for brands and viewers.
