Madhive Completes Acquisition of Omnichannel Workflow Software Frequence

Madhive, the leading technology company for local Connected Television advertising (“CTV”), announced that it has completed the acquisition of Frequence Inc, the premier omnichannel ad sales enablement and workflow software for local media companies and agencies. As a result of this transaction, local media markets will have access to one streamlined offering to deliver precise, geo-targeted messages across streaming TV, search, online video, display, audio, out-of-home, and social.

“Over the past fourteen years, Frequence has become the leading omnichannel advertising sales platform through relentless innovation. Now, united with Madhive, we will create an end-to-end solution for local media companies.”

Madhive’s outcome-driven local CTV platform powers hundreds of millions in media spend for major media companies like Fox, Tegna, Scripps, Katz, and agencies like Lifebrands. Frequence’s workflow software and media services empower local media companies such as Spectrum Reach, Hearst, and Beasley to manage and execute omnichannel digital marketing campaigns for local advertisers.

Frequence’s planning capabilities will integrate with Madhive’s platform to automate workflows across proposals, reporting, and analytics, supporting over 30,000 advertisers daily.
