Over-The-Top (OTT) advertising is for video content delivered over an internet connection with a streaming device, like an Amazon Fire Stick or through apps via a Smart TV. 

OTT advertising allows for hyper-targeting and online behavior tracking to capture active, in-market shoppers. This advertising is backed by buyer intent metrics that are unavailable with traditional TV buys.
