NEW YORK, Jan. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Seedtag, the global Neuro-Contextual advertising company, today announced a partnership with IRIS.TV that strengthens its Neuro-Contextual capabilities in CTV through enriched program-level content data. By integrating IRIS.TV's signals into Seedtag's proprietary AI, Liz, advertisers will have access to additional audience scale and a more complete view of campaign delivery across the TV ecosystem to further validate the effectiveness of Neuro-Contextual and the response between ads and people.

"By integrating with the IRIS_ID into Liz's neuro-contextual decisioning, we can expand scale and sharpen contextual precision while staying aligned with publisher and programmer collaboration and privacy expectations."

With IRIS.TV signals informing Seedtag's Neuro-Contextual AI, Liz, enabling her to make more granular contextual decisions around the content viewers are watching in real time, helping advertisers improve relevance and enabling more transparent reporting on where campaigns ran and how contextual strategies performed.

The Seedtag + IRIS.TV collaboration will deliver:

• Additional audience scale in CTV through broader metadata coverage
• More granular Neuro-Contextual targeting at the program level
• Stronger insights to help buyers understand delivery across the TV ecosystem
• Progress toward content transparency by reducing blind spots where metadata is missing and validating advanced targeting and curation

"By bringing Seedtag's Neuro-Contextual intelligence into the IRIS_ID, we're continuing our mission to provide buyers and sellers across the programmatic TV ecosystem with more precise and clearer, content-level insights."
