Viant Technology, a leader in CTV and AI-powered programmatic advertising, announced a strategic integration with LG Ad Solutions designed to accelerate addressable advertising in the connected TV (CTV) ecosystem, introducing a new way of advertising designed for the industry-wide shift from linear TV to streaming.
Through this integration, LG’s premium smart TV inventory-spanning 45 million connected devices across the U.S.-is now fully addressable via the Viant DSP. Advertisers gain seamless access to high-performing campaigns on the most-watched screens in the home, backed by Viant’s leading identity infrastructure. LG Ad Solutions and Viant will jointly improve signal quality, data matching, and performance-empowering advertisers to engage streaming audiences with greater precision, scale, and transparency.
“Identity is the backbone of effective advertising in a fragmented ecosystem,” said Kelly McMahon, SVP Global Operations, LG Ad Solutions. “By integrating the Viant Household ID into our platform, we’re empowering buyers to scale Viant-driven audiences across the LG Smart TV environment-unlocking greater precision, reach, and performance while keeping privacy at the core.”
