Comparing Roku Ads Manager with AdLever
Roku Ads provide strong access to CTV inventory, but targeting options are typically tied to Roku’s internal data and household-level signals. AdLever adds precision by enabling deterministic, list-based audience activation across connected TV inventory, including Roku placements. This allows advertisers to run CTV campaigns that are directly anchored to their own customer or prospect lists, rather than inferred household behavior—making Roku a distribution channel within a broader, people-based AdLever strategy.
