The problem with video ads
You pay premium CPMs for zero intent.
Brands pay premium CPMs for impressions where the user was looking away, waiting for the countdown timer to end. The intent is zero→but the brand still pays.

The skippable intent filter
A user who chooses not to skip is a different user entirely.
LYKSTAGE offers skippable ads to preserve the experience. For advertisers, that's the advantage: someone who watches your 30-second video to completion is categorically different from someone who merely saw a banner. It's the ultimate intent verification engine.

LYKSTAGE Ad Manager FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is LYKSTAGE?
LYKSTAGE is a proprietary video streaming platform with a patent-approved watch-time monetization model. It hosts over 20,000 creator channels across the US and India, and is rapidly expanding into the UK, Canada, and the UAE.
Where will my video ads actually appear?
Your ads appear before (pre-roll) or during (mid-roll) video content on the LYKSTAGE platform→including the LYKSTAGE website, mobile apps (iOS/Android), and Connected TV apps (Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Samsung, LG).
Is LYKSTAGE separate from the Programmatic Console?
Yes. LYKSTAGE is a dedicated, standalone premium video channel where we own the inventory outright. The Programmatic Console buys across the open web via major exchanges, while LYKSTAGE gives you direct, middle-man-free access to our proprietary CTV and mobile video audience.
Can I target specific geographic areas on LYKSTAGE?
Yes. Just like our programmatic engine, the LYKSTAGE Ad Manager lets you target viewers with zip-code level precision, ensuring your video ads only play for the exact audience you want to reach.
