Locality Introduces LocalX, a New Media Platform Offering Advertisers Direct Access to Premium Local Inventory

New platform delivers advanced audience targeting and streamlined campaign management to optimize ROI for advertisers

LocalX gives broadcasters a powerful tool to expand digital reach, unlock new revenue, and better serve local advertisers

Locality, the leading local video solutions provider, announced the launch of LocalX, an all-in-one media planning and buying platform built to simplify how advertisers plan, buy, and manage local video campaigns. Drawing on insights from more than 32,000 campaigns and 24 billion locally targeted streaming ad impressions, LocalX was shaped by Locality’s real-world experience meeting the growing needs of both advertisers and broadcast partners — helping buyers improve local performance while enabling broadcasters to expand their digital offerings and strengthen advertiser relationships. Backed by Locality’s tech-enabled consultative approach, the platform combines automation, real-time optimization, and local market expertise to deliver more efficient outcomes across premium streaming inventory.

“LocalX will provide direct access to premium streaming inventory through an intuitive, AI-powered platform that streamlines local media buying,” said Keith Kazerman, President of Streaming at Locality. “What makes LocalX unique is how closely it aligns with the way our teams work with agencies, advertisers, and broadcast partners every day—combining technology with hands-on expertise to help reach local audiences with greater precision, speed, and results.”

“LocalX reflects the evolution of our white-glove approach—translating years of hands-on support into a flexible, tech-enabled platform,” said Zach Mullins, Chief Strategy Officer at Locality. “It simplifies fragmented workflows and puts buyers in control— whether they’re working with direct IOs, programmatic inventory, or both. With AI-powered ad creative tools, advanced targeting, and flexible supply paths, LocalX delivers the scale, speed, and customization today’s advertisers need to succeed.”
