Put Your Brand on Streaming TV — Only in the Zip Codes That Matter
ZTV (Zip Code Targeted TV)A powerful evolution of programmatic CTV. Zip TV allows GreenBanana to deliver streaming TV ads (on platforms like Roku, Hulu, PlutoTV) only within specific zip codes, rather than large media markets or DMAs. It combines the impact of TV with the precision of digital targeting — making it perfect for local businesses or regional campaigns that want big-screen exposure without wasting budget on irrelevant areas.
Using GreenBanana’s Programmatic AI tech and real-time bidding to place your Zip TV ads in front of the right people at the right time . Instead of manual broad TV buys, zipcode based TV (ZTV) allows us to instantly match your ads to ideal audiences hundreds of the most popular TV shows and streaming services. The result is more efficient campaigns (less time and budget wasted) and better reach to your customers.
Zip TV Advertising (ZTV) represents a cutting-edge targeted CTV solution that uses zip code-level precision to reach specific audiences. It’s designed as a turnkey solution that effectively bridges the gap between traditional linear TV and digital advertising platforms [1]. This innovative approach allows advertisers to enhance their linear TV strategies by targeting specific demographics and viewing habits, increasing reach and effectiveness.
ZTV stands out in the advertising ecosystem by optimizing connected TV (CTV) advertising through its proprietary zip code ranking system. Unlike standard streaming TV campaigns that rely heavily on third-party audience data segments, ZTV leverages census demographics and viewing behavior insights to identify optimal zip codes for campaign deployment [4]. This gives advertisers the precision of digital marketing with the broad reach and impact of television.
Television advertising has undergone a remarkable transformation from the era of broadcast dominance to today’s fragmented viewing landscape. Originally, advertisers could reach mass audiences through a limited number of channels, with minimal targeting beyond basic programming choices. The cable era introduced more specific audience targeting through channel selection, but still lacked granular precision.
The rise of streaming platforms has fundamentally changed how audiences consume content, creating unprecedented fragmentation. Viewers now spread their attention across traditional broadcast TV, cable networks, and numerous streaming services. This fragmentation presents challenges for advertisers seeking to maintain reach while eliminating waste.
Modern advertising demands more sophisticated targeting approaches to navigate this complex landscape. As viewers migrate to connected TV platforms, advertisers need solutions that combine the reach of traditional TV with the precision of digital. ZTV addresses this need by offering zip code-level targeting that identifies and reaches specific audience segments across the fragmented media environment.
At GreenBanana, we don’t just run Zip TV ads — we engineer custom-built campaigns using the most effective mix of cutting-edge strategies. Whether you want to target neighborhoods with Geo-Fencing, stream ads to smart TVs with CTV, or combine them all for maximum impact, we tailor every campaign to your business goals.
At GreenBanana, we’re committed to helping businesses of all sizes harness the power of Zip TV advertising. Our expert team will guide you through every step of implementing a successful Zip TV strategy that targets the right audience in the right zip codes.
Effective Zip TV campaign implementation begins with clearly defining your ideal audience based on relevant demographic characteristics. At GreenBanana, we’ll help you identify specific age ranges, gender distribution, household income levels, and other key factors that characterize your target customer base. This detailed profile becomes the foundation for identifying the most valuable zip codes for campaign deployment.
Our data analysts expertly leverage census data by analyzing population distributions across zip codes to find areas with high concentrations of your target demographics. We look beyond basic demographic information to consider lifestyle factors, housing types, and economic indicators that might influence purchasing behavior. By combining traditional demographic data with these additional insights, we develop a nuanced understanding of your audience distribution across geographic areas. This comprehensive approach ensures that zip code selection aligns precisely with your business objectives.
The proprietary ranking system used in GreenBanana’s Zip TV campaigns evaluates and scores zip codes based on their concentration of target audiences and their viewing habits. Our team works closely with platform providers to understand how different zip codes rank for your specific target demographic, focusing on areas that show both high demographic alignment and CTV viewing propensity.
Our geographic targeting best practices include considering practical factors beyond pure demographic alignment. For local businesses, we understand that proximity to physical locations often outweighs minor demographic variations. Similarly, we factor in seasonal trends, competitive presence, and historical performance data to influence zip code selection. GreenBanana also recommends testing a variety of zip codes during initial campaigns to establish performance benchmarks before narrowing focus to the highest-performing areas. This data-driven approach maximizes campaign effectiveness by continuously refining the geographic targeting strategy.
At GreenBanana, we enhance your Zip TV campaigns with private marketplace (PMP) deals that provide access to premium inventory not available through open exchanges. These arrangements with specific publishers or streaming platforms increase the quality of ad placements, ensuring your messages appear alongside relevant, brand-safe content. Our media buyers negotiate PMP agreements based on both content type and geographic targeting parameters to maximize relevance.
We create custom allowlists for better targeting by selecting specific streaming platforms, content categories, or even individual programs that align with audience preferences in your target zip codes. This approach ensures ads appear only in contextually relevant environments where target viewers are most receptive. By combining geographic precision with content targeting through allowlists, we create multi-dimensional campaigns that reach the right viewers in the right locations while they’re consuming the most appropriate content. This layered approach significantly improves campaign performance compared to using zip code targeting alone.
GreenBanana implements timing strategies that can dramatically impact Zip TV campaign performance by aligning ad delivery with audience availability and receptivity. We analyze viewing patterns within target zip codes to reveal optimal dayparts when your target audience is most likely to be streaming content. For example, campaigns targeting working professionals might focus on evening hours, while those aimed at stay-at-home parents might emphasize daytime programming.
Our team leverages additional precision tools for Zip TV campaigns including frequency capping to prevent oversaturation, sequential messaging to tell evolving brand stories, and cross-device targeting to reach viewers across multiple screens. We can also implement competitive conquesting strategies by targeting zip codes where competitors have strong presences. Weather triggering represents another sophisticated technique in our toolkit, automatically activating or modifying campaigns based on local weather conditions in specific zip codes. These advanced capabilities transform your Zip TV campaign from a simple geographic targeting tool into a comprehensive, responsive advertising solution.

Television advertising has undergone a remarkable transformation from the era of broadcast dominance to today’s fragmented viewing landscape. At GreenBanana, we’ve witnessed this evolution firsthand and help our clients navigate these changes effectively.
Originally, advertisers could reach mass audiences through a limited number of channels, with minimal targeting beyond basic programming choices. The cable era introduced more specific audience targeting through channel selection, but still lacked granular precision.
The rise of streaming platforms has fundamentally changed how audiences consume content, creating unprecedented fragmentation. Viewers now spread their attention across traditional broadcast TV, cable networks, and numerous streaming services. This fragmentation presents challenges for advertisers seeking to maintain reach while eliminating waste.
Modern advertising demands more sophisticated targeting approaches to navigate this complex landscape. As viewers migrate to connected TV platforms, advertisers need solutions that combine the reach of traditional TV with the precision of digital. At GreenBanana, we leverage Zip TV to address this need by offering zip code-level targeting that identifies and reaches specific audience segments across the fragmented media environment.
At the core of GreenBanana’s Zip TV advertising approach is Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) technology, which serves as a crucial data collection method. ACR captures audio or visual snippets from smart TV content and matches them against an indexed library to identify the shows and content being viewed. This technology enables our team to understand what content specific demographic groups are watching and when they’re watching it.
With ACR technology, GreenBanana helps advertisers gain valuable insights into viewing patterns across different zip codes, including which households are more likely to consume linear TV content versus CTV content. These insights help us identify potential audiences with precision, allowing campaigns to target viewers based on their actual viewing behaviors rather than broad assumptions about content preferences.
GreenBanana enhances Zip TV targeting precision by integrating U.S. Census demographic data with viewing habit information. This integration allows us to understand the demographic makeup of specific zip codes, including age, gender, and household income distributions.
The combination of census demographic information with ACR viewing data creates a powerful targeting mechanism for our clients. By analyzing both datasets together, we can determine which zip codes have higher concentrations of your target audiences with specific viewing habits. This dual approach means your advertising dollars can target areas where your desired demographic is not only present but also displays particular viewing behaviors relevant to your campaign goals. The layering of these data sources eliminates the need for expensive third-party audience data while maintaining targeting precision.
At GreenBanana, we employ a sophisticated proprietary weighted ranking system that evaluates and ranks over 33,000 zip codes across the United States. This advanced system assigns importance to various factors to determine which zip codes will deliver the best results for your specific advertising campaigns.
Our ranking algorithm considers multiple factors simultaneously, creating a comprehensive evaluation of each zip code’s potential effectiveness. These factors include demographic composition (age, gender, household income), viewing habits (linear vs. streaming preferences), and the density of target audiences within each zip code. The system also accounts for the propensity of households in specific zip codes to engage with CTV content, ensuring that your advertising dollars are directed to areas with higher concentrations of connected device users.
The GreenBanana targeting process begins with defining your target audience based on demographic characteristics and campaign objectives. Using our proprietary zip code ranking system, we then identify and rank the zip codes most likely to contain high concentrations of your target audience with relevant viewing habits.
Our team helps you select zip codes based on the ranking system’s recommendations or customize your selection based on specific business requirements. Once target zip codes are finalized, we deploy your campaign specifically to connected TV devices within those geographic areas. GreenBanana continuously monitors campaign performance across the selected zip codes, allowing for real-time optimization by adjusting targeting parameters or reallocating budget to the best-performing areas. This dynamic approach ensures that your advertising resources are consistently directed toward the most responsive audience segments.
GreenBanana’s Zip TV advertising offers significant cost advantages compared to traditional linear TV advertising approaches. With competitive pricing points, we help you achieve greater reach and targeting precision while maintaining budget efficiency. One of the most substantial cost benefits comes from eliminating expensive third-party data fees, as our approach uses census data and ACR information instead of requiring additional audience data purchases.
The CPM (cost per thousand impressions) range for Zip TV typically falls between $20-$24, positioning it favorably against both traditional linear TV and many standard CTV advertising options. This pricing structure makes sophisticated television advertising accessible to advertisers with various budget levels, opening opportunities for businesses that previously couldn’t afford TV campaigns. The cost efficiency extends further as budgets are applied to actual media impressions rather than broad geographic areas that may include less relevant audiences.
GreenBanana elevates your targeting precision by focusing on specific zip codes rather than broader designated market areas (DMAs) or cable zones. This granular approach allows us to direct your messages exclusively to geographic areas with the highest concentration of your target audience. The zip code-level precision significantly reduces wasted impressions on viewers outside your target demographic.
Our platform provides you with greater control over audience selection through its weighted ranking system, enabling more strategic campaign planning. By combining geographic precision with demographic insights, we help your brand create more relevant messaging for specific community segments. This improved relevance tends to drive higher engagement rates and better overall campaign performance. The precision targeting capability represents a significant advancement over traditional TV advertising, which often requires purchasing entire markets regardless of audience distribution.
One of the most valuable aspects of GreenBanana’s Zip TV advertising is our robust digital attribution capabilities, which allow you to track campaign effectiveness with precision. Unlike traditional TV, our approach enables measurement of digital metrics like online conversions, website traffic increases, and engagement rates that can be directly attributed to CTV ad exposure.
We provide sophisticated ROI measurement tools that connect ad impressions to business outcomes, giving you clear visibility into campaign performance. Particularly valuable is our foot-traffic attribution capability, which can link CTV ad exposure to subsequent visits to your physical business locations. This feature is especially beneficial for retailers, restaurants, and service-based businesses seeking to drive in-person customer visits. These attribution capabilities help you understand the real impact of your campaigns and make data-driven decisions about future advertising investments

At GreenBanana, we help national advertisers significantly enhance their linear TV strategies by incorporating Zip TV as a complementary approach. This powerful combination allows your brand to maintain broad market coverage through traditional channels while using our Zip TV solutions to add frequency and precision in high-value zip codes. The dual strategy bridges the gap between linear and digital approaches, creating a more comprehensive media plan [6].
Perhaps most importantly, GreenBanana’s Zip TV solutions enable your national brand to reach cord-cutters and streaming-only households that traditional linear campaigns miss [3]. With approximately 50.3% of U.S. households no longer subscribing to pay TV services, our capabilities address a major challenge for national brands seeking complete market coverage. By strategically deploying Zip TV alongside linear campaigns, we help you maintain reach while improving overall campaign efficiency.
GreenBanana has helped numerous national brands successfully implement Zip TV strategies to complement their broader advertising efforts. One national quick-service restaurant chain used our Zip TV approach to target specific zip codes with high concentrations of their target demographic, resulting in a 22% increase in store visits compared to control areas. The campaign demonstrated the effectiveness of combining geographic precision with demographic targeting [1].
Another success story includes a national automotive brand that leveraged GreenBanana’s Zip TV expertise to support new model launches in specific markets. By focusing on zip codes with high concentrations of in-market auto shoppers, they achieved a 15% lift in dealership visits and test drives. These results highlight our ability to drive measurable outcomes for national advertisers, even when deployed as part of a larger media strategy [2].
GreenBanana helps local retailers and service providers benefit tremendously from Zip TV’s ability to target specific neighborhoods surrounding their locations. This precision allows your small business to compete effectively against larger competitors by focusing your advertising dollars exclusively on your service areas [5]. For retailers with limited geographic reach, our approach eliminates waste by ensuring ads are only shown to potential customers within a reasonable distance [4].
Our Zip TV solutions enable your business to focus advertising dollars on the most relevant areas, rather than paying for broader market coverage that includes viewers unlikely to become customers. GreenBanana helps local service providers like healthcare practices, home improvement companies, and professional services firms target zip codes matching their ideal customer profiles based on income, education, or other demographic factors. This approach transforms TV advertising from a broad awareness tool to a precisely targeted business development channel for your local enterprise.
GreenBanana helped a regional automotive dealership group implement Zip TV to target specific zip codes within a 15-mile radius of their locations, focusing on areas with the highest concentration of households in their target income bracket. The campaign delivered a 32% increase in showroom visits compared to the previous quarter’s traditional cable zone approach, while actually reducing their overall media spend by 18% [1].
Similarly, we guided a local furniture retailer in targeting zip codes within their delivery area that indexed highest for recent home purchases. Their Zip TV campaign produced a 27% increase in store traffic and a 19% lift in average purchase value compared to their previous advertising efforts. These results demonstrate how GreenBanana’s precision targeting can deliver significant performance improvements for local businesses with specific geographic service areas [2].
Whether you’re a national brand looking to complement your existing TV strategy or a local business seeking affordable television advertising with precision targeting, GreenBanana provides the expertise and technology to maximize your results.
At GreenBanana, we provide robust digital attribution capabilities that connect your Zip TV ad exposure to measurable online actions. Our online conversion tracking links CTV ad views to subsequent website purchases, form completions, or other desired actions. This connection enables our team to calculate precise return on advertising spend (ROAS) and make data-driven optimization decisions during your campaigns [5].
Our website visit attribution measures the incremental traffic generated by your Zip TV campaigns, identifying viewers who visited your brand’s website after ad exposure [4]. GreenBanana’s advanced platforms can distinguish between new and returning visitors, providing insights into how effectively the campaign drives discovery versus re-engagement. These capabilities help you understand not just if your campaigns are working, but specifically how they influence the customer journey [6].
GreenBanana’s app download attribution connects CTV ad exposure to mobile application installations, measuring how effectively your Zip TV campaigns drive app adoption. This capability is particularly valuable for brands with mobile-centric business models or those using apps as part of their customer engagement strategy. By linking specific zip code targeting to app download patterns, we help you identify which geographic areas deliver the strongest digital engagement results and adjust your targeting accordingly.
Foot traffic measurement represents one of the most valuable GreenBanana Zip TV attribution capabilities, especially for businesses with physical locations. Our advanced platforms use anonymized mobile location data to determine when devices exposed to CTV ads subsequently visit your locations [1]. This capability provides clear evidence of advertising impact on actual store visits, connecting digital impressions to physical world behaviors [3].
GreenBanana’s in-store conversion tracking extends beyond simple foot traffic measurement to connect CTV advertising with actual purchases [2]. By integrating point-of-sale data with ad exposure information, we help you understand which zip codes not only drive visits but also generate transactions. This intelligence helps optimize future campaigns for revenue impact rather than simply maximizing foot traffic.
Our phone call attribution links CTV ad exposure to subsequent inbound calls, using unique tracking numbers or advanced call tracking solutions. This capability is particularly important for service businesses that primarily convert leads through phone conversations. By understanding which zip codes generate the highest call volumes and conversion rates, GreenBanana helps you refine your geographic targeting to maximize high-value inquiries. These offline attribution methods collectively provide a comprehensive view of how your Zip TV campaigns influence real-world customer behaviors beyond digital metrics.
GreenBanana’s measurement approach begins with monitoring basic metrics like impressions and video completion rates (VCR) to ensure campaign delivery [6]. We then layer in both digital and offline attribution to create a complete picture of performance. Our team provides regular reporting that connects these measurements to your specific business objectives, whether that’s driving e-commerce sales, increasing store visits, or generating quality leads.
When you work with GreenBanana, you get more than just Zip TV advertising – you get complete visibility into how your campaigns are performing across both digital and physical touchpoints. Our attribution solutions bridge the online-to-offline gap, providing the insights you need to continuously optimize your advertising investment.
