Clicktivated’s patented, IP-protected technology enables item-level identification and tagging of clickable elements within a video, whether it’s a product, destination, attraction, or offer, as they appear on screen. Each item is directly linked to a specific product page or piece of information, allowing viewers to engage in real time and seamlessly access information or complete a purchase without disrupting the viewing experience.

The result is a frictionless, intuitive user journey that blends inspiration with instant action, whether served on-site or as a programmatic ad.

Unlike traditional video, Clicktivated drives record-breaking interaction rates and captures unique, real-time behavioral insights without relying on cookies or third-party trackers.

“We’re thrilled to partner with The Vantage as we expand into MENA,” said Chris Roebuck, CEO & Founder of Clicktivated. “Their amazing team, market knowledge, diverse client base, and commitment to innovation make them the perfect partner to help brands in this region unlock the full power of interactive video.

This partnership aims to strengthen The Vantage’s growing portfolio of future-facing global platforms and reinforces its mission to bring performance-driven, privacy-forward media technologies to MENA.
