Samsung Ads TotalView Gives Advertisers a New Lens on TV Reach
Samsung Ads launched TotalView, unifying linear and streaming ad reach data across 70 million Smart TVs in Europe. It targets media planners and brand advertisers, not marketplace sellers directly.
If your brand runs CTV campaigns to drive Amazon/Walmart traffic, TotalView's deduplicated reach data could sharpen upper-funnel targeting — but this is a European-first rollout with no marketplace ad integration announced. Agencies managing omnichannel brands should monitor whether Samsung Ads eventually connects TotalView audiences to retail media networks.
CTV and retail media are converging — Samsung's first-party viewing data at scale is a play for brand ad dollars that could eventually compete with Amazon's streaming and DSP ecosystem.
No action needed now — this is Europe-only and has no direct tie to Amazon, Walmart, or Target ad platforms as of launch.
If you run CTV budgets alongside retail media, flag TotalView for Q3 review when post-campaign measurement data becomes available to evaluate cross-channel incrementality.
Bottom Line
Samsung TotalView unifies TV reach data, but no marketplace seller impact yet.

Full Coverage
Samsung Ads, the advertising arm of Samsung Electronics’ media division, has announced the launch of TotalView — a powerful new solution that provides a unified view of total ad reach across the Samsung Smart TV ecosystem, spanning both linear and streaming.
With TotalView, advertisers can eliminate blind spots and enrich their planning, targeting, and measurement with a comprehensive dataset that captures the full picture of TV campaign performance.
For the first time, advertisers gain an unprecedented unified view of their total TV reach across linear and streaming environments on Samsung’s 70 Million Smart TVs in Europe.
The TotalView dataset can be applied throughout the campaign lifecycle — from pre-campaign planning, where it helps identify untapped audiences and forecast deduplicated reach, to in-flight activation for incremental reach targeting on Samsung Smart TVs, and post-campaign reporting, where it can be overlaid to deliver deeper insights into audience ad exposure, performance and TV viewing behaviours.
By connecting these stages, TotalView enables advertisers to take a truly holistic and data-driven approach to planning, buying and measuring TV campaigns across the Samsung Smart TV ecosystem. Want to learn more?
Join Matt Bryan, Director of Analytics & Insights at SAMSUNG ADS the RetailX CTV, OTT & Streaming Summit on the 14th of May in London How people watch TV has changed and continues to evolve rapidly. In 2010, 84% of TV viewing was linear.
In 2025, with consumers enjoying a greater choice of viewing platforms than ever, linear’s share, while still significant, had been reduced to 40%. Samsung recognises this change in viewing habits and the fragmentation challenge it brings.
This new TotalView offering enhances Samsung’s existing pre-campaign insights, targeting and reporting capabilities, and together gives advertisers an unrivalled view of the full TV advertising journey. As the leading Smart TV manufacturer, Samsung has a unique vantage point on how viewing behaviours are evolving across both linear and streaming.
Our audience insights at scale mean we understand not just what viewing behaviours look like today, but how they’re evolving over time — giving us a complete view of campaign reach that every media planner and buyer strives for.
With the launch of TotalView, we’re empowering advertisers to navigate the new TV landscape with greater clarity and confidence, providing the insights and tools to plan, reach and measure more audiences effectively across the entire Samsung Smart TV ecosystem. – Alex Hole, SVP and General Manager, Samsung Europe and MENA
