Premion Expands Omnichannel and Ad Tech Capabilities to Drive Cross-Channel Performance and Fuel Next Growth Phase

NEW YORK, April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- , the leading premium CTV/OTT advertising solution for regional and local advertisers, today announced the launch of its expanded capabilities and new tools for advertisers to execute and optimize campaigns across channels. With the integration of , Premion has further strengthened its purpose-built local CTV platform and demand side platform (DSP) to drive full-funnel outcomes.

Premion’s DSP transforms local CTV advertising with a privacy-focused, cookieless platform that enhances audience targeting and campaign performance across channels, while a powerful device graph enables seamless identity resolution. Unified attribution tools allow brands and agencies to track the full customer journey and optimize outcomes in multi-touch marketing campaigns.

“Consumers have embraced streaming for its convenience, choice and control, making CTV the fastest-growing ad channel. Advertisers want that same flexibility in buying CTV while optimizing spend and performance across channels, whether through managed services or programmatic buying,” said Daniel Spinosa, president at Premion. “Publishers are also eager to unlock more local revenue, and with expanded capabilities powered by our DSP, we’re providing innovative solutions that meet these needs, creating a win-win for all.”

Expanded Omnichannel Advertising Solution for Advertisers

Premion’s DSP seamlessly integrates CTV into a broader omnichannel strategy, allowing advertisers to combine CTV with video, audio, display, and retargeting for a unified approach.

Strengthened Publisher Relationships to Drive Local Revenue Growth

Premion continues to expand its partnerships to include all major publishers, many of whom are new to the local CTV space. By providing access to differentiated demand, Premion offers publishers a scalable solution that complements their national direct sales efforts while unlocking new revenue opportunities in local markets.

Local differs from national, and with our DSP, we’re delivering the precision, flexibility, and expertise that set Premion apart,” added Spinosa.
