WatchIt exclusive — CTV reach for a KSA telco launch.

A prime-time CTV push on MENA's largest Arabic SVOD platform — DigiMotive's exclusive WatchIt inventory — delivered broadcast-grade completion rates plus meaningful incremental reach on top of the linear plan.

The challenge

Reach the KSA viewers linear can't.

The client's launch had a heavy linear TV buy, but planning analysis showed a meaningful share of the target audience had shifted from broadcast to on-demand streaming — and the frequency on linear was wasting budget.

The brief: find the high-attention, co-viewed reach linear was missing, and prove the incremental lift on top of the broadcast plan.

The strategy

Exclusive Arabic CTV, prime-time only, measured against linear.

Prime-time CTV

Non-skippable mid-roll on WatchIt's premium Arabic drama and sport long-form — the same moments the linear plan was buying, on the screens linear couldn't deliver.

Reach de-duplication

Cross-screen reach modelling against the client's linear plan to target households and co-viewers the broadcast buy was missing, with frequency capped to avoid overlap.

Incrementality measurement

Post-campaign brand-lift study comparing exposed vs unexposed households, plus reach modelling to quantify the true incremental audience on top of linear.

The results

CTV reach linear couldn't buy.
