NEW YORK — TVSquared and Hudson MX have partnered to make automated, performance-based media buying a reality for local TV advertising. Agencies that make buys through the Hudson MX platform will be able to access TVSquared to measure campaign performance, impressions and business outcomes in real time.

Agencies need flexible, actionable tools to adapt and thrive in today’s environment. Shorter media-planning cycles – fueled by a push for greater flexibility, timely measurement and iterative optimization – require a fast, actionable buy process. Through the partnership, advertisers can understand how buys are driving business outcomes and then quickly optimize new or existing TV buys for response, whether it’s online sales, app activity, website traffic or any other conversion KPI that matters the most.
“Our partnership is creating a new currency for local TV. Hudson MX advertisers can now buy based on performance, GRPs or impressions, which offers more flexibility than ever before. This is the future of TV media buying,” said Jo Kinsella, President of TVSquared. “Hudson MX has overhauled old, inefficient buying processes that have defined this space for decades.
