A Convergent TV Platform Built For Agencies

Mindgruve plans and buys CTV for performance clients. Here's what going direct gets them.

Mindgruve already runs CTV for clients across verticals. Tatari buys the same Hulu, Peacock, and ESPN inventory direct from publishers, no DSP in the middle. Lower CPMs, publisher-level transparency, and linear in the same platform with next-day attribution on every spot.

Why we sent this
Mindgruve plans and buys convergent TV across multiple clients. The gap most performance-focused agencies hit on CTV is the same: buying through a DSP means paying a fee at every layer before a single impression runs on a real publisher. Tatari removes that layer entirely, buying direct from Hulu, Peacock, ESPN, and other premium networks. The same inventory at lower CPMs, with full publisher-level placement data on every airing instead of aggregated DSP delivery reports. DAC made the same move and drove double-digit revenue growth across their client base. Mindgruve can bring that to any CTV client on the next campaign.
What Makes Tatari Different?
Direct CTV buying and linear scale for Mindgruve's performance clients.
Purpose-built for TV
Traditional DSPs were built for display and online video. They were never designed for how TV inventory actually works. Tatari was. Linear, streaming, and online video in one platform, with buying logic built around TV's unique clearance, pricing, and audience dynamics.
Measure real outcomes
Other platforms count CTV views and visit rate. Tatari tracks what happened after: site visits, purchases, and lead fills tied to the specific spot, network, and creative that aired. For Mindgruve's performance clients, that is the metric that justifies the TV buy in every client review.
Direct media execution
Tatari buys CTV direct from publishers, removing the DSP layer entirely. That puts more of every Mindgruve client dollar into actual media, not fees. Full publisher-level placement data on every impression so Paige can show clients exactly where their ads ran, not just delivery totals across a DSP seat.

Media Buying

Tatari gives Mindgruve direct access to CTV inventory on Hulu, Peacock, and ESPN at lower CPMs than a programmatic DSP delivers. Linear sits alongside CTV in the same platform, with biddable access to the scatter market, real-time pricing, rate shaving, and predictive clearance. One plan, one platform, one attribution report across every airing.

Measurement

Every linear spot reports the next morning: network, daypart, creative, and exactly how many site visits or conversions it drove. CTV reports on the same timeline. Tatari's closed-loop measurement ties every airing to real client outcomes, whether the action happened minutes after the spot or 30 days later. Paige can walk into any client status call with placement-level data across the full TV buy, not separate channel decks to reconcile.
