“Meredith now has 42 trusted and iconic brands, at-scale reach against highly coveted audiences like Millennials and Latinas, unique and actionable insights, and immersive cross-channel experiences that drive impactful results and make a difference for consumers, advertisers and the world,” said Jon Werther, President of Meredith’s National Media Group. “With these capabilities, a collective audience that represents two of every three dollars spent in virtually every key consumer category in the U.S., and the extension of our sales guarantee to video, Meredith delivers impact for marketing partners in premium brand safe environments like no other media company.”

As an innovator in measuring and guaranteeing the incremental sales impact of advertising in print, digital and integrated campaigns, Meredith is again leading the industry by extending its sales guarantee for its advertisers’ video campaigns and activations. Third-party measurement for Meredith’s Video Sales Guarantee will be provided by Nielsen.

Meredith is also announcing a new video ad product called Meredith Stories. Meredith Stories provides advertisers the ability to seamlessly integrate into or contextually align with a premium editorial in mobile-first, highly-engaging and fully-vertical environments. These story experiences live across Meredith’s own websites, as well as Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat.

“At a time when digital video viewership continues to fragment and advertisers continue to search for premium brand safe environments, we are excited to offer solutions like Meredith Stories and our video sales guarantee that reflect our commitment to both innovation and impact,” said Marla Newman, Meredith’s Senior VP of Digital Ad Sales.
