Houston Hyundai Auto Group is made up of three car dealerships—North Freeway Hyundai, Baytown Hyundai and Humble Hyundai. With multiple locations to market, Digital Strategist John Watts needed to generate new business and drive quality traffic to the dealerships’ websites. He had experimented with Connected TV (CTV) advertising before and liked that it allowed them to reach potential customers across various streaming networks. However, he found it difficult to measure campaign success. As a one-person show, Watts wanted a platform that would produce meaningful results while ensuring efficient use of his time. MNTN Performance TV offered Watts a powerful CTV ad solution with superior ease of use. And, Performance TV produced an unexpected benefit—it helped to strengthen the auto group’s other marketing efforts.

Houston Hyundai Auto Group Drives Business and Quality Web Traffic With MNTN
When I was first looking for an ad solution, I was focused solely on something that would offer us a high level of awareness. But once I started working with MNTN, I realized that there was much more that could be done with CTV advertising. Performance TV not only produced meaningful business for the Houston Hyundai Auto Group, it also provided accurate and measurable results—allowing me to truly understand the impact of our CTV campaigns.

Objective
Grow Business and Drive Quality Website Traffic
Watts was eager to leverage CTV to grow the auto group’s business. And while driving a high volume of consumers to the dealership websites was a key part of this, the quality of this traffic was of utmost importance to him.
“I wanted to ensure that if someone visited one of our websites, they had a high likelihood of engaging,” Watts said. “Cost per visit is an important metric to track, but we were okay with that number fluctuating a bit if it meant that the site visitors were towards the middle or bottom of the sales funnel. If a consumer takes some kind of action on our site, I can measure that and then use that knowledge to make informed campaign decisions.”
He was also looking for an advertising solution that was both comprehensive and flexible. With other CTV ad platforms Watts had found that the offered networks weren’t top quality, reporting was inconsistent and that the types of ads he could run were limited. Performance TV proved to be the well-rounded CTV advertising solution that the Houston Hyundai Auto Group needed.

DonorsChoose
DonorsChoose is a nonprofit organization (NPO) that helps public school teachers across the country crowdsource much-needed school supplies for their students, with a focus on historically underfunded schools. While DonorsChoose successfully drives donations throughout the year, they’ve found that Q4 / the winter holidays is a peak time for giving. To ramp up performance prior to this particularly busy season, they wanted to test a fresh advertising channel that would allow them to reach new audiences, ultimately driving more donations. In partnership with their agency M+R, DonorsChoose looked for an advertising solution that was flexible and would give them the ability to integrate reporting with third party platforms, while producing meaningful performance. M+R had successfully launched Connected TV (CTV) campaigns for other clients and thought it could be a great option for DonorsChoose, as well, but the channel alone wasn’t enough. To meet DonorsChoose’s unique needs and ensure the best results possible, M+R turned to MNTN Performance TV.

Postman is a leading API development platform. One of their primary goals is to simplify each step of the API lifecycle and streamline collaboration so their customers can create better APIs. Here at MNTN, we’ve experienced this firsthand — our product team has been using Postman as a way to manage our own API for years. “Postman has been an imperative tool for our team when building the MNTN reporting API,” said Erik Gray, Director of Product at MNTN. “It enables the team to easily manipulate the API structure and determine where problems are arising.” As an innovative company in the B2B space, Postman is constantly looking for emerging technologies to use to further their business goals. And after building a strong partnership with MNTN as a customer, Postman was excited to give Connected TV (CTV) advertising a try. With MNTN Performance TV, they were able to think outside of the box when it came to demand generation, leveraging CTV as a powerful performance engine.
Cuker Agency
Founded in 2004, GoMacro is a mother-daughter owned, mission-led business that makes vegan and organic protein bars. In the crowded and competitive natural food space, they have set themselves apart by using high-quality, sustainably sourced, plant-based ingredients. In search of a fresh advertising channel that was as innovative as their products, GoMacro enlisted the help of digital marketing agency Cuker. Cuker identified Connected TV as the ideal channel for GoMacro to combine brand storytelling with full-funnel audience targeting to increase brand awareness, drive conversions, and reach new business heights. Together, GoMacro and Cuker turned to MNTN Performance TV to ensure the success of their CTV efforts. With MNTN, their advertising dollars went farther, with less waste and more precision, resulting in full-funnel business growth — during both pivotal promotional times (like the end of Q4 into Q1) and throughout the year.
AdParlor
Like any good hero’s journey, this story starts with a challenge — and a longstanding health and beauty brand had a big one. The brand was preparing a robust omnichannel rebranding initiative, and the CMO was determined to make Connected TV (CTV) an important cornerstone of the campaign, which led them to MNTN Performance TV. But while the brand’s team were performance marketers themselves, they had less experience running media for this relatively new channel and found they needed support to ensure CTV would be ready to launch with the rest of their mix. As the brand approached its deadline for launching ads, they reached out to AdParlor — a flexible and successful digital agency with performance marketing experience — to see if they’d be willing to jump in at the 11th hour and help. The retailer was already collaborating with AdParlor on other performance channels, so they knew the agency was deeply familiar with their customer base and could be trusted. Would they be willing to take the keys to MNTN Performance TV — a platform that the agency was unfamiliar with — and learn how to use it so they could get the ads up in time for a strict go-live date? AdParlor was up for the challenge. And thanks to MNTN Performance TV’s self-serve platform, they didn’t just save the day — they soared past their client’s expectations.
