Our take

Samba TV is improving the TV viewing experience by employing analytics to better personalize adverts and recommendations. With a scientific and algorithmic approach to how smart TVs work, the company enables TV businesses to better capture and serve consumers - an offering which has attracted the likes of Disney.

In recent years, Samba TV has focused on making artificial intelligence and machine learning central to its offerings, in part through the acquisition of Disruptel. This has enabled heightened content recognition and non-intrusive ad unit development, both of which enable it to deliver more value.

Moving forwards, Samba continues to partner and integrate with a wide range of companies to expand its product offering and market reach. And is 2022 expansion into Australia has put the company on the path to becoming a global force to be reckoned with.
