PLATFORM PROFILE
tvScientific: what its own pages say about buying streaming TV ads
QUICK ANSWER
tvScientific (tvScientific by Pinterest) is described on its pages as CTV performance platforms, with parts of streaming plus linear TV. You want to pay for outcomes and see incrementality inside the attribution itself. Look elsewhere if: you want published entry terms or an instant self-serve sign-up.
