An audience with a genuine reason to watch.
Our creator-first video platform — and the vetted publisher network that extends it.
The patented watch-time model
LYKSTAGE is built on a patented Watch-Time Monetization Model (U.S. Patent No. 12,684,189): creators and logged-in viewers share in the value their attention creates, and rewards flow only when the ad served is watched in full. The result is rare in digital media - an audience with a genuine incentive to stay through your ad, which translates into stronger completion.
Live where audiences watch
LYKSTAGE is live on six major Connected TV platforms - Samsung TV, LG TV, Roku, Apple TV, Android TV / Google TV, and Amazon Fire TV - plus desktop, mobile web, and native mobile apps, across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, UAE, and India.
The Audience Network
One campaign can reach viewers on LYKSTAGE and follow the same audience across a growing network of vetted partner publishers - one setup, one report, with LYKSTAGE-only control available with a single toggle.
TV that acts
Connected TV becomes an action channel: QR codes carry viewers from the big screen straight to your destination, trackable end to end through our conversion pixel.
Why we built it
Most video advertising is a race to →Skip.
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.

LYKSTAGE Ad Manager gives you direct booking access to our proprietary creator-first video platform. Its unique, patent-approved watch-time model incentivizes users to engage→so when they watch your skippable ad to completion, you know the intent is real.

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.

The LYKSTAGE Audience Network
Extend your reach with the LYKSTAGE Audience Network.
Run your campaign once. Reach viewers on LYKSTAGE→and beyond it.
When you run a campaign through the LYKSTAGE Ad Manager, your ads don't have to stop at LYKSTAGE. The LYKSTAGE Audience Network is our growing network of quality publisher websites and apps where your video and display ads can also appear→extending your campaign to engaged audiences beyond the LYKSTAGE platform, from a single campaign setup.
It works the way the best video networks do: you build one campaign, set your targeting once, and your ads serve across LYKSTAGE's owned inventory and matching network publishers→automatically, based on the audience you chose.
How it works
1. Build your campaign
Set audience, geography, budget, and creative in the LYKSTAGE Ad Manager.
2. Choose your reach
LYKSTAGE-only, or LYKSTAGE + Audience Network. Network extension is on by default for eligible campaigns, because it typically means more reach for the same budget→and you can switch it off at any time in campaign settings.
3. We do the matching
Your ads serve wherever your target audience is→on LYKSTAGE and across network publishers that fit your targeting.
4. One report
Performance flows back into a single unified view. Segment results by LYKSTAGE vs. network to see exactly where your ads ran and how each performed.
A network built on quality, not volume
Every publisher in the LYKSTAGE Audience Network is individually vetted before joining. We review content quality, brand safety, and audience authenticity→and publishers must meet our inventory standards to stay in the network. We are deliberately building this network publisher by publisher rather than opening the floodgates, because your brand appears alongside this content and that placement is our responsibility.
You stay in control
Audience targeting
The audience segments you define carry across LYKSTAGE and network placements alike, including our multicultural and diaspora audience capabilities.
Content and placement controls
See where your ads appeared, and exclude any publisher or placement that doesn't fit your brand.
Brand safety by default
Sensitive content categories are excluded from network serving unless you choose otherwise.
Opt out any time
Network extension is a setting, not a commitment. Restrict your campaign to LYKSTAGE-only with one toggle.
Why extend to the network
More reach from the same budget
Your campaign finds your audience wherever they are→not only when they're on LYKSTAGE.
One campaign, one invoice, one report
No separate network buys, no stitching reports together. Owned and network performance live side by side in your dashboard.
Consistent audience quality
Network placements use the same targeting and the same data layer as your LYKSTAGE placements→so extended reach doesn't mean diluted relevance.
Supported formats
Video (pre-roll and mid-roll) and display formats are supported across the network, on web and mobile. Available formats may vary by publisher; your campaign automatically serves the formats each placement supports.
LYKSTAGE Ad Manager FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is LYKSTAGE?
LYKSTAGE is our creator-first video platform, built on a patent-approved watch-time monetization model. It's live in the US and India, and 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.
