Advertisements may be selected for video programming based on the visual content of the video programming. Where a video stream depicts a consumer good or service in one or more video frames, an advertisement that is consistent with the consumer good or service may be inserted into the video stream following the video frames in which the consumer good or service appears. Such an advertisement may be one of a plurality of existing advertisements, or may be prepared in a native format based on the content of the video stream, and may be seamlessly integrated into the video stream with the same or a similar setting to the video stream. A viewer of a video stream may also request one or more advertisements based on the content of the video stream.
