What We Do

Taiv transforms awareness ads into performance marketing. Our computer vision algorithms are able to replace live TV commercials in bars and restaurants with targeted and measurable ads. We work with over 1,000 venues and many fortune-1000 advertisers like AbInBev, Coke, Pepsi, ESPN, and more.

Why It Matters?

Taiv makes businesses more fun, engaging, profitable, and easier to manage for patrons, business owners, and advertisers.

Our product is free for venue owners - we cover the cost of the hardware, install, and maintenance. They get to promote their own house advertisements, automate their TV systems, and access our streaming, trivia, and automation. We also give them control, for the first time ever, over which brands are allowed to advertise on their TVs. Whenever we run an ad, we share some of the revenue with the venue owner. We send a check to thousands of small businesses each month to help them generate incremental revenue.

Cool, But How Does It Work?

We partner with bars and install custom hardware, which attaches to their cable box and uses computer vision to detect commercials in real-time (more about that below). When it cuts to commercial break, we dynamically insert ads that are perfect for that environment. We're also able to measure sales results based on point-of-sale data to provide closed-loop attribution - a first in our industry.
