Tappx launches world’s first contextual audiovisual advertising solution
Tappx, a leading AdTech company powering advertising solutions for mobile, desktop, and OTT/CTV, proudly announces the launch of Contextualize-It – the world’s first contextual AdTech solution designed to analyze complex moving audiovisual content.
Contextualize-It has been in development at Tappx for two years, and enables publishers, brands and advertisers to contextually analyze high volumes of audiovisual content. The contextual segmentation of advertising campaigns has become increasingly important in today’s cookieless world. Until now, contextual analysis engines have focused on written content, whereas Contextualize-It solution has been engineered to explicitly analyze audiovisual content at scale.
Using Tappx’s proprietary artificial intelligence engine, Contextualize-It can identify objects, places and dialogue, which are used to generate metadata, to allow the segmentation of campaigns using keywords and/or IAB contextual categories. The Contextualize-It algorithm can identify different scenes in video content, and the technology defines optimum ad insert points in video, thereby delivering ideal consumer viewing experiences.
Currently accessible via the Tappx SSP, Contextualize-It will soon migrate to the wider programmatic ecosystem, enabling advertisers to buy contextualized video campaigns for the very first time. In addition, it will be integrated into ad servers and SSPs, where it will serve as a vital source of contextual AV data. Contextualize-It is initially launching in Spain with video content platform PlayOn Content, which is working with leading publishers such as Huffington Post. Tappx is planning to internationally rollout Contextualize-It at a later date, pending strategic publisher agreements.
Daniel Reina, CEO at Tappx, commented:
“After two intensive years of research and development, Tappx is pleased to finally be releasing Contextualize-It with its first partner, PlayOn Content. The digital advertising industry faces an inflection point, with greater needs to satisfy consumer privacy. As we all venture into a “cookieless” digital advertising ecosystem, the contextual segmentation of ad campaigns is becoming much more prevalent, accurate and potent. With this nascent technology taking hold, advertisers are now afforded with a new model for the targeting and delivery of tailored ad content, that is independent of the need for personal consumer data points.”
Tappx’s patent pending Contextualize-It solution was part-funded by Horizon 2020, the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme in Europe.

Arizona Department of Gaming Investigation into Illegal Gambling Leads to Record-Breaking Firearms Seizure
Arizona Department of Gaming (“ADG”) Intelligence Agents, with aid from the Arizona Department of Public Safety (“AZDPS”), successfully concluded an investigation into an alleged illegal gambling operation involving gun raffles in Tucson, Arizona.
This operation resulted in the arrest of two (2) individuals, who face multiple felony charges, and the seizure of four hundred and fifty-two (452) firearms, plus ammunition, firearm accessories, over $4000 in cash, and bank accounts.
“Record-breaking seizures like this only further highlight the criminal activity that illegal gambling establishments attract when they go unregulated, posing a significant threat to public safety,” said Jackie Johnson, Director of the Arizona Department of Gaming. “I commend the exceptional work of our ADG Intelligence Unit for their unwavering dedication in investigating and addressing illegal gambling activities throughout the state. Their thorough and diligent efforts play a crucial role in protecting the public and ensuring compliance with Arizona’s gaming laws. I also want to extend my appreciation to our partners at the Arizona Department of Public Safety for their vital support during this enforcement operation.”
“I would like to congratulate the Arizona Department of Gaming on this sizable seizure of weapons and ammunition. Thanks to their efforts, two criminals are off the streets, and over 450 firearms are no longer available for criminal use.” Said Colonel Jeffrey Glover, Director of the Arizona Department of Public Safety. “I’m proud of the work done by my agency and we will continue to assist any law enforcement agency that requests our help. Collaboration between agencies in the State of Arizona is stronger today than ever, and the AZDPS will always be dedicated to those continued partnerships.”
Following this recent enforcement action, the Arizona Department of Gaming urges residents to exercise caution when conducting raffles, bingo, or other forms of social, amusement, or charitable gambling to ensure they are in full compliance with the law. ADG takes complaints about illegal gambling seriously. To report suspected illegal gambling activity, visit our website, call (602) 255-3886, or email [email protected]. You can remain anonymous.
