49%of US TV time is now streaming

CTV is the blue ocean in TV right now.

Streaming is already 49% of everything Americans watch on TV (Nielsen, July 2026), but ad budgets won’t pass linear until 2028 (eMarketer). The audience is there and the competition isn’t. Get in before it gets crowded.

The problem

Why can't most brands prove their CTV worked?

Because most CTV plans are DECAF. They spend, they report, and nobody can prove what they sold.

  • Paid on spend. The agency earns more when your budget grows, whether or not your sales do.
  • Graded by the seller. The platform that sold you the ads also reports how well they worked.
  • No control group. Nobody held back a matched set of households, so nobody can say what CTV caused.

And the money is moving anyway: U.S. CTV ad spend is forecast to pass linear TV by 2028 (eMarketer).

Why brands work with us

How does CS & Co. get paid? Same media, opposite incentives.

One flat $5,000 fee to build the plan. Media at cost. Past that, CS & Co. earns a success fee only when the KPI agreed in writing before launch is hit.

100%

Typical agency: paid regardless

Revenue is a percentage of your spend. It arrives whether the campaign works or not, and it grows every time your budget does.

VS
0%

CS & Co.: until your KPI moves

Zero commission on your media, ever. Hit the number we agreed in writing and we earn a success fee. Miss it and we don't.

It isn't a discount. It's the version where we carry the risk instead of you.

Three kinds of CTV company

What kind of CTV company is CS & Co.?

A growth operator: a senior team that buys, runs and proves your CTV itself, and is paid on the result. Here is how that compares with the two alternatives most brands are choosing between.

The playbook

How does a CTV campaign start? Three steps.

1

The fit call

30 minutes, senior operator

We establish fit, scope and the number CTV would have to hit to be worth your budget. If it isn't a fit, we say so.

2

The CTV Growth Plan

$5,000 flat, ten business days

Audience, inventory, frequency, creative direction, KPI targets and the measurement design we hold ourselves to. Yours to keep, whether you hire us to run it or not.

3

Launch and prove it

Media at cost, success fee on results

Media reconciled weekly against the invoice. Signal, our measurement discipline, matches what the platform claims to the orders in your own system, then an incrementality test separates cause from coincidence.

The only way we make a dollar past the $5,000 growth plan fee is if we make you many more. Every incentive we have points in the same direction as every incentive you have. That's not a slogan. That's the contract.

Premium streaming inventory

Your ads run where your customers watch.

We buy premium CTV inventory across the networks and apps your audience already streams, including:

  • Paramount+
  • Roku
  • Tubi
  • Sling
  • Pluto TV
  • NHL
  • NFL
  • MLB
  • Hulu
  • ESPN
  • Disney+
  • Fox News
  • HBO Max

Plus 200+ more channels in our inventory, including local broadcast affiliates.

Why “CS”

Where does the name come from?

CS stands for Caffeinated Strategies, a name that started at the Broadway Beanery coffee shop in Lynbrook, New York, in 1999.

Our unfair advantage

How does a small senior team outwork a big agency?

A senior operator on every account, backed by AI agents. Most agencies put junior staff between you and the work. We put eight specialist AI agents behind a senior operator, so the person accountable for your number spends their time on judgment, not legwork.

A senior operator owns every account. Agents prepare the work. They don’t approve plans, buy media or talk to clients on their own; a named human signs off on every plan and every dollar.

Software, not staff. The agents aren’t counted as team members, and every person on our team page is a real person.

Straight answers

Frequently asked questions

What does CS & Co. Marketing Studio do?

CS & Co. Marketing Studio is a CTV-only performance agency in Plainview, New York. It plans, buys, produces and measures streaming-TV campaigns for brands, proves what each campaign caused with The CS Method™, and is paid a success fee only when the KPI agreed in writing is hit.

How is CS & Co. paid if there is no commission or retainer?

Three parts. A flat $5,000 fee for the CTV Growth Plan. Media billed at cost, with no commission and no CPM markup, reconciled weekly against the invoice. Then a success fee, earned only when the KPI agreed in writing before launch is hit. If the number doesn't move, CS & Co. earns nothing past the plan fee.

What does the $5,000 CTV Growth Plan include?

Audience architecture, platform and inventory allocation, frequency, KPI targets, creative direction, a phase-by-phase roadmap and the measurement design CS & Co. will be held to. It is delivered in ten business days by a senior operator, and the plan is yours to keep whether or not you hire CS & Co. to run it.

How do you prove CTV caused the sales?

With The CS Method™. The KPI is agreed in writing before launch, platform-reported numbers are reconciled every week against the orders in your own system, and a controlled test, such as an incrementality test, separates the sales CTV caused from the ones it happened to be near. No single report is taken on trust.

Is CTV right for my brand?

CTV fits best when three things are true: you can see a sale, lead or sign-up in your own data; the budget is large enough to hold back a control group; and you will agree the KPI in writing before launch. Industry matters less than those three. The fit call tells you either way.

What happens if the KPI doesn't move?

CS & Co. doesn't earn a success fee. You paid the $5,000 plan fee and the media at cost, and you keep the plan and the measurement. Your downside is capped at the media you were going to spend anyway, which is why the KPI is agreed in writing before a dollar runs.

One way to start

We don't do sales calls.
We do straight answers.

Most CTV plans are DECAF. They spend, they report, and nobody can prove what they sold. CS & Co. plans, buys and measures your streaming TV against the number you're held to, proves what it caused with The CS Method™, and only earns past the plan fee when that number moves.

If CTV is right for your business, we'll show you the math. If it's not, we'll tell you that too, before you spend a dollar.

Find out if CTV is a fit

Starts with a 30-minute fit-and-scope call with a senior operator, not an SDR. Nothing is charged until we agree it's a fit.
