Programmatic
TripleLift
TripleLift is an independent creative supply-side platform connecting advertisers with publisher inventory across the open web and streaming television. It combines programmatic marketplace access with native, online video, display, connected television, retail media, and high-impact creative formats such as pause and in-show advertising, helping standard brand assets fit less conventional placements. It suits publishers seeking differentiated monetization and buyers that want scalable creative treatments beyond ordinary banners and television spots without negotiating every placement directly.
What it does
TripleLift is a supply-side platform built around creative rather than plain banner inventory. Instead of only auctioning standard ad slots, it programmatically reformats a brand's existing assets to fit native placements, in-feed units, online video, connected-TV pods, and high-impact formats like pause ads and in-show product placement. For publishers and streaming providers it opens monetization for placements that ordinary display SSPs cannot fill well; for buyers it means standard creative can run in unconventional, attention-heavy slots without bespoke production for each one. It spans open web, CTV, and retail-media environments, connecting demand-side platforms to that inventory through the usual real-time bidding and private-marketplace deal mechanics rather than direct insertion orders.
Where it fits
TripleLift sits on the supply side of programmatic, exposing native, video, and CTV inventory to DSPs while automatically shaping creative to each placement.

Beginner notes
- As an SSP, TripleLift is accessed through the buy side — you typically activate its inventory inside a DSP or via a PMP deal ID, not by logging in directly.
- Its value is creative transformation, so supply your standard brand assets in clean source formats and let the platform adapt them rather than pre-cropping everything.
- CTV and high-impact formats command premium pricing; test them in a private marketplace deal before opening broad open-auction spend.
