The hires come on the heels of PM360 reaching significant milestones in 2020—with the company’s CLIR™ suite of products streamlining data sharing and delivery for over 1,000 TV stations and 700 ad agencies and buying groups—and in anticipation of continued expansion into 2021. Specifically, PremiumMedia360 sees a number of tailwind factors driving continued growth:

Changing Standards, including the growing adoption of the TIP format for TV ad sales, which adds greater complexity to media sellers’ workflow. CLIR Logs formatting is TIP-compliant.

New Partnerships with organizations including Mediaocean and ProVantageX which ease and expand integration across national and local TV sellers.

Efficiency Demands of the “New Normal,” as stations and networks seek proactive solutions to streamline operations and gain efficiencies in the face of the disruption brought on by COVID-19.

“We are honored to have such an elite group of leaders join our executive team,” said John Bowser, Founder, and CEO of PremiumMedia360. “Attracting talent of this caliber is both a testament to the foundation we’ve built so far and the right additions at the helm to help steer the company into our next phase of growth this year and next. We are thrilled to welcome them all to PM360.”
