LG Ads, the newest major player in connected TV and cross-screen advertising, today unveiled its platform for helping brands reach precise audiences across the fragmented TV universe, measure campaigns in flight, and optimize outcomes through closed-loop measurement and attribution. LG Ads is the result of bringing together LG’s worldwide smart TV footprint of over 120 million TVs, with TV advertising technology and analytics leader Alphonso’s deep technology stack for cross-screen media and measurement.

The LG Ads platform gives advertisers a single source of premium connected TV inventory from 20 million smart TVs in the U.S., combined with cross-screen targeting data from eight different smart TV and connected TV device brands. Hundreds of brands and all major agencies already use this targeting data for TV audience extension on CTV, digital video and social media, and to measure the efficacy of their cross-screen campaigns in driving business results.

Ashish Chordia, chief executive officer of LG Ads, said, “LG Ads is the marriage of two major TV industry forces that creates a perfect opportunity for advertisers looking to reach LG’s massive and highly affluent audience, while having a direct line of sight into how their customers are responding to their ads. As pioneers in TV-to-digital retargeting and Video AI, we are now poised to take cross-screen advertising and campaign measurement to new levels, at a time when navigating the TV ecosystem is harder. We help marketers plan for both reach and outcomes – it doesn’t have to be one or the other.”
