"By working with Instreamatic and leveraging our expertise in voice-enabled entertainment control, we can enable improved monetization opportunities to our customers, which are the leading global brands in home entertainment," said Arsham Hatambeiki, senior vice president of product and technology at UEI, in a statement. "This conversational ad experience will streamline introduction of improved ad delivery as another reason for adoption of voice control in entertainment systems."
"Instreamatic has continued to prove that intelligently delivered conversational advertising boosts audience engagement and recall while significantly improving ad spend ROI and customer insights," said Stas Tushinskiy, CEO of Instreamatic, in a statement. "Via our new relationship with Universal Electronics, we are excited to bring this technology to the smart TV space for the first time. UEI is the market leader in voice-enabled remote control manufacturing and distribution, and we look forward to seeing UEI's smart TV and video service provider customers unlock new revenue opportunities through Voice Ads by Instreamatic."
