"We see programmatic buying on linear television as a critical path for our agency and our clients," said Jim Williams, CEO of Karlen Williams Graybill. "Television has a 30-year audience fragmentation problem. Most agencies and advertisers are spending the bulk of their budgets on the top twenty to thirty networks. placemedia gives us an opportunity to reach a high-quality, targeted audience on every network in every market."
placemedia is bringing automation to an industry that desperately needs it and is solving the puzzle of audience fragmentation on linear television. placemedia aggregates unsold and undersold inventory from cable networks, broadcasters, cable providers, satellite companies, connected TV, OTT, and IPTV providers. The placemedia platform programmatically plans and buys the most efficient TV schedules using set top box data overlaid with consumer purchasing data from leading research providers.
"We're very excited to have Karlen Williams Graybill join us as a Launch Partner," said John Gee, SVP of Advertising Sales for placemedia. "To show this kind of leadership in programmatic and automated buying solidifies their position as one of the most innovative independent agencies in the country."
