Ad Week New York 2025 brought together some of the most forward-thinking voices in media and technology—and Anoki was proud to be part of the conversation. From panel discussions to partner events and product demos, the week offered a powerful platform to spotlight how multimodal AI is setting a new standard for Connected TV.

Putting Intelligent Brand Safety Front and Center

We kicked off the week with a standout panel: From Avoidance to Investment: A New Era of Brand-Safe CTV Advertising, featuring our CEO Raghu Kodige and Chief Revenue Officer Abbey Thomas, alongside Monica Perschetz of Spectrum Reach and Greg Sherrill of Magnite.

The conversation focused on how Anoki ContextIQ is reshaping the landscape of brand suitability through scene-level intelligence, severity scoring, and a more nuanced approach that goes beyond the binary. Attendees also got a first look at our video vision for intelligent brand safety in action.

Inside the Brand Safety Zone

Immediately following the panel, attendees were invited to the Brand Safety Zone by Anoki, where hundreds of visitors experienced ContextIQ firsthand. Live demos showcased how multimodal AI is helping brands and publishers unlock new inventory and expand safe reach—without sacrificing scale. The booth buzzed with energy and meaningful dialogue on the future of CTV.
