Dynamic creative optimization feeds are structured data repositories—product catalogs, audience segments, or creative variations—that DCO engines query in real-time to auto-generate personalized ad combinations. Smart CTV platforms like Starti match feeds to household signals (location, daypart, viewing context) within milliseconds, triggering the highest-performing creative variant per impression while tying spend directly to conversions rather than impressions.

What Are DCO Feeds in CTV Advertising?
DCO feeds in CTV advertising are dynamic data sources like product catalogs, audience segments, and creative variations queried in real-time by programmatic engines. Unlike static 30-second spots, they enable 100+ variations matched to household signals in milliseconds across 115M+ households in 61 countries, powering Starti’s outcome-based model focused on conversions over impressions.
How Does DCO Feed Architecture Work Technically?
DCO feed architecture uses XML, JSON, or CSV schemas with attributes like product ID, price, image URL, geo, daypart, and context metadata. Starti normalizes data, enriches with signals, and ingests billions of bid requests monthly, mapping to SmartReach™ AI segments for 500+ auto-generated CTV variants optimized per household and conversion signal.
| Traditional CPM CTV | Starti Performance-Tied DCO Feeds |
|---|---|
| Static creative, one impression per spot | 100+ auto-generated variations per product feed |
| CPM pricing (pay for reach, not results) | Outcome-based pricing (pay for app installs, sales, conversions) |
| Limited attribution (last-click or probabilistic) | OmniTrack cross-device attribution (91% accuracy) |
| Manual creative A/B testing | Dynamic Creative Optimization auto-triggers best performer |
What Real-Time Logic Decides Which Feed Variant Wins?
Real-time logic in a 20+ millisecond bid window queries household segment from SmartReach™ AI, feed variant, device, daypart, content, frequency, weather, and geo, ranking by predicted conversion lift. Starti’s platform rebalances using 60B+ bid records and live signals, deprioritizing low performers hourly for efficiency over reach.
How Do You Structure Product Feeds for CTV Success?
Structure CTV product feeds with TV-optimized assets: high-contrast visuals for 10-foot viewing, short copy under 5 words, clear CTAs.
