LG Ad Solutions enters a multi-year licensing deal with Zenapse with the intent to bring AI-powered emotionally intelligent insights and targeting to connected television (CTV) advertising through LG Ad Solutions Innovation Labs
Zenapse, a pioneering AI-driven marketing platform powered by emotional intelligence, announced a multi-year licensing partnership with LG Ad Solutions’ Innovation Labs. This strategic collaboration will leverage Zenapse’s proprietary Large Emotion Model (LEM) to power the next wave of innovation in LG Ad Solutions’ advanced Connected TV (CTV) platform.
This collaboration furthers LG Ad Solutions’ commitment to innovation and delivering advanced, emotionally intelligent advertising tools for global brands. By combining LG’s scale and CTV expertise with Zenapse’s industry-first emotional AI and psychographic targeting, the companies aim to redefine viewer engagement, personalization, and campaign performance.

A New Frontier for CTV Advertising
Connected TV is one of the fastest-growing ad segments in the U.S., expected to reach over $40 billion by 2027, up from $24.6 billion in 2023. At the same time, more than 90% of households have adopted streaming platforms — more than double the 40% who have cable subscriptions. The rapid evolution of the CTV market represents a massive opportunity for brands and their agencies to deliver high-impact campaigns with powerful performance metrics, real-time feedback, and increasingly sophisticated ways to increase viewer engagement.
“Connected televisions are critical for digital ad strategies, and our partnership with LG Ad Solutions will enable marketers to deliver stronger customer experiences through emotionally intelligent insights backed by AI,” said Matthew Bernardini, CEO and Co-founder of Zenapse. “Embarking on this new collaboration allows us to expand our reach and growing global footprint across all digital mediums.”
