Looper Insights, the leading CTV merchandising analytics platform, announced the launch of a new Content Type and Genre filtering capability within its Merchandising module, giving customers enhanced visibility into how different types of content are merchandised on the TV screens. As a result, studios, streamers, and broadcasters can conduct more accurate competitive analyses, make strategic decisions more quickly, and measure CTV merchandising more effectively.
The new feature allows customers to filter merchandising placements by Content Type (App, Movie, TV Show) and Sub Content Type (App Bundles, Content Bundles) to isolate how different types of content are promoted on CTV home screens, whether that’s apps vs. movies or individual titles vs. bundles. Users can select a single option, multiple categories, or view all content types at once, enabling highly tailored, comparable analysis of their own and competitors’ placements. This level of visibility is critical in an environment where home-screen real estate directly impacts content discovery, viewer engagement, and revenue.
“Merchandising is no longer one-size-fits-all,” said Lucas Bertrand, Founder & CEO of Looper Insights. “Platforms promote apps, movies, and TV shows very differently, and now our customers can quantify those differences. This feature gives teams a clearer view of how content is surfaced, not just where, turning merchandising data into actionable insights.”
In addition to Content Type filtering, Looper has introduced a Genre dropdown within the Merchandising tab, allowing users to analyze placements by genre with the same flexible single-select, multi-select, or ‘select all’ functionality.

The platform currently supports 30+ genres across a broad range of content categories. This enables teams to understand how different genres are prioritized across home screens, carousels, and promotional rows and whether execution aligns with audience demand, seasonality, or major content launches.
