Pay-TV providers can also support their programming partners by offering them the services of addressable advertising and dynamic ad insertion, which increases the value of advertising inventory and offers a more personalised TV experience.

“While each country is unique, all pay-TV providers share a similar goal of delivering the best possible TV services to their customers and partners,” said Dean Denhart, CEO of BlackArrow. “Our expansion into Europe will further enable us to deliver regionally optimised solutions to support the growing demands of our international customers.”
