Castoola, a privately owned Slovenian company founded in 2014, provides video business systems. Its primary offering is an integrated platform for targeted television advertising. As of 2023, the company employs approximately 20 people and generates annual revenue of less than $10 million.
Castoola participated in IBC 2024, focusing on solutions for video monetization for telcos, broadcasters, and OTT platforms. The company aimed to combine CTV's reach with precise digital targeting. This participation follows a broader industry discussion regarding the future of advertising in the wake of Google's announcement to eliminate third-party cookies from its Chrome browser, a plan announced a few years ago. The impact of this change on advertisers who rely on cookies for user tracking and personalized ads remains a concern. Castoola's presence at IBC 2024 highlighted new developments in media technology and trends shaping the future of the media landscape.
