You asked, we listened. We’re constantly rolling out updates designed to make Paramount Ads Manager faster, smarter, and more effective for advertisers like you. From new targeting tools to easier creative setup and real-time performance insights, we are all about making your ad life easier (and your results better).

Like any good series, there’s always a new season in the works. This post will be updated regularly as we roll out more product features and tools, so stay tuned for what’s coming to a screen near you.

February 2026 Updates

These updates were made to help you reach the right audiences with more precision and extend the impact of your campaigns across the funnel. You can now tap into richer targeting signals, reconnect with high-intent viewers, and expand your reach, turning CTV into a true full-funnel channel with Paramount Ads Manager.

Interest & Behaviors Audience Targeting

Interest & Behaviors Audience Targeting

With our new Interests & Behaviors targeting option, you can reach streaming viewers based on what they actually care about. That means less guessing, and more confidence that your ads are showing up in front of people already aligned with your category.

With Interests & Behaviors targeting, you can:

  • Reach viewers based on real-world behavior and content engagement
  • Align campaigns to audiences already showing signals related to your category
  • Avoid wasted impressions by focusing on viewers more likely to care about your message

Retargeting Campaign Goal

Retargeting Campaign Goal

Allow us to reintroduce your brand. Our new Retargeting campaign goal lets you make a lasting second impression with people who’ve already visited your site, and find new audiences who look just like them. Bring these high-intent viewers back with high-impact TV ads across Paramount’s streaming network (just make sure you have that Pixel).

FYI: During beta testing, advertisers using retargeting saw 30%+ improvement in site visit performance by reconnecting with audiences already familiar with their brand on TV.

With Retargeting campaigns, you can:

  • Reconnect with past site visitors on the big screen
  • Reach lookalike audiences to scale beyond your existing traffic
  • Reinforce your message during key decision moments
  • Focus budget on viewers showing real buying intent
  • Track measurable outcomes across the full customer journey
