Singapore’s first solution that replaces ads in live broadcast TV channels with personalised messages, targeted screen by screen

SINGAPORE, Sept. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — StarHub is reshaping TV advertising with the launch of Dynamic Ad Pods, Singapore’s first solution that replaces ads in real time inside live broadcast TV channels. Unlike most connected TV ads that only run before or during on-demand shows, this innovation extends precision targeting into live programmes — unlocking new opportunities for advertisers while creating a more relevant and less repetitive experience for viewers.

Developed in collaboration with Hoppr, StarHub’s technology partner for Connected TV (CTV), Dynamic Ad Pods set a new benchmark for TV advertising in Singapore. It gives brands smarter, more relevant ways to connect with households, while making TV viewing smoother and less disruptive.

Drawing on insights from over 175 million hours of viewing data, StarHub’s advanced CTV Server-Side Ad Insertion (SSAI) technology makes it possible for two households watching the same live broadcast to see different ads at the same time, each tailored to their interests. This creates high-value opportunities across live sports, news, and primetime drama, supported by measurable performance and reduced media waste. Dynamic Break Matching ensures ads are seamlessly placed within programmes, minimising interruptions and keeping the viewing experience natural.

Dynamic Ad Pods also offer flexibility across a range of formats, including skippable pre-rolls before shows and stitched mid-rolls during both live broadcasts and on-demand content. All ads are delivered in a full-screen, sound-on, high-attention environment that maximises engagement without detracting from entertainment. This approach allows brands to engage viewers across the user journey, while controlling campaign reach and frequency effectively.

Unlike traditional TV advertising, which offers limited targeting and little control, Dynamic Ad Pods bring personalised ad replacements into linear broadcast feeds, customised down to each screen. With built-in brand safety controls and frequency capping, campaigns can be delivered with confidence, ensuring messages land effectively while reducing repetitive ads.

Beyond the TV screen, StarHub’s CTV solution extends campaigns across digital channels including display and WhatsApp, enabling brands to continue the conversation with audiences, retarget viewers, and drive conversions through clear Call-To-Actions. This creates a connected customer journey, from awareness to action.

By combining the broad reach and storytelling power of live TV with the precision and accountability of digital media, StarHub is giving businesses a powerful new way to achieve stronger outcomes while making TV time more enjoyable at home.

Accelerating Growth with Cyberport Resources

As a member of Cyberport Smart Living Incubation Programme, NineSmart has leveraged unparalleled mentorship, technical resources, and access to an ecosystem of over 2,000 tech companies. These facilitated the development of its flagship smart property management platform, NineSmart Go!, and will support the October debut of the AI-powered NineSmart Robotics Solution — integrating smart living into both commercial and residential environments.

Joint Smart Property Projects with Cushman & Wakefield Property Management

The partnership combines NineSmart’s AI-driven property management platform with Cushman & Wakefield Property Management’s leading expertise in property services.

  • Smart intercom: Integrated with smart intercom system to improve visitor-resident communications
  • Online booking: Integrated with e-payment for streamlined facility reservations and payments

  • No server rooms required: IoT controllers fit discreetly into existing electrical cabinets in old buildings

The solution supports QR code, NFC, Octopus and resident cards, ensuring elderly can continue familiar entry methods. Facility management features automated workflows for fast bookings and maintenance requests, raising resident satisfaction rates to 95%. Moreover, the modular solution is expandable to meet the needs of growing user groups or complex estate layouts for future upgrades.

To celebrate this milestone, Ayden will host a pop-up ‘Ayden’s Pit Stop’ at Caltex Holland, 297 Holland Road on Saturday, 20 September from 11am to 1pm. Ayden will personally create and serve up his own special drink and give away signed Caltex branded merchandise for the first 100 customers who spend a minimum of $20 at Caltex’s Star Mart or on Caltex with Techron® Fuel. All proceeds from ‘Ayden’s Pit Stop’ will be donated to the Community Chest’s SG60 fund.

“We are thrilled to continue our journey with Ayden, a multi-talented individual who truly embodies the passionate spirit of Caltex,” said Leong Jee Wong, General Manager, Fuel Sales, Malaysia and Singapore. “Over the past two years, Ayden has been an inspiring advocate for our brand, connecting us with a new generation of motorists while embracing his own journey, in Singapore and beyond. This renewed partnership reflects our commitment to helping our customers navigate their own journeys with confidence and convenience, through a long-term collaboration that resonates with their values.”

As a motorist himself, Ayden has personally experienced the benefits of Caltex’s offerings, including the cleaning power of Techron® and the seamless convenience of the CaltexGO app. His advocacy for these products stems from his own desire for efficiency and reliability in his daily life.

“I am incredibly grateful and excited to continue being a part of the Caltex family for a third year,” said Ayden Sng. “My family has been fuelling up at Caltex for years, so I can speak to the tangible benefits of Techron®, which keeps my car running smoothly. The CaltexGO app has also been a game-changer, saving me time and making every trip to the station so much easier. This partnership goes beyond a simple endorsement – it aligns with my personal values of seeking out quality, efficiency, and making a positive impact on the community.”

Over the past year, Ayden has been at the forefront of several key Caltex initiatives, including:

  • Launch of the refreshed CaltexGO app: Ayden was a key figure in the launch of the refreshed CaltexGO app, showcasing its new, user-friendly features. He also starred in a Korean drama-inspired TV commercial that highlighted how the app makes every visit to a Caltex station more convenient and rewarding for motorists.
  • Ayden and Friends campaign: A successful charity event, which saw Ayden join forces with Caltex to launch the “Ayden and Friends” campaign which contributed to Chevron Singapore being conferred as a Company of Good – 1 Heart by the National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre (NVPC). This recognition is a testament to the brand’s and Ayden’s dedication to corporate social responsibility. For the entire month of December 2024, every dollar spent on fuel via the CaltexGO app by registered users was matched by Chevron and donated over $12,000 to AWWA, helping them fuel their vehicles.
  • SG60 Picnic Box and Chair campaign: Ayden helped bring this community initiative to life, celebrating the nation’s 60th anniversary. Chevron donated $2 for every picnic box or chair sold. The initiative raised $15,612 for the Community Chest’s SG60 Fund.

Caltex customers can look forward to more exciting initiatives featuring Ayden and Caltex in the coming year. For the latest announcements, stay tuned to Caltex’s official website and social media platforms.
