Marketing has changed dramatically over the past few years. Consumers are streaming their shows, movies, and sports, not just on their TV but also on tablets and phones. They’re listening to podcasts as much as they listen to music. As their media consumption habits and purchasing habits change, it’s important that businesses are able to stay in front of them. And now more than ever, it’s important to stay in front of their audiences over multiple channels because we are consuming more media and seeing more ads than ever before.
To help local businesses keep pace with where consumers’ attention is going, we’ve expanded our services to include a new suite of premium advertising solutions designed to reach people across streaming platforms, audio, Amazon, and digital screens throughout the community.
These new offerings give businesses of all sizes access to the same high-impact channels used by major brands, without the complexity or wasted spend of traditional advertising. From streaming TV and live sports to Amazon’s network, we’re making it easier for businesses to connect with the right audiences, in the right places, at the right time.
Amazon Advertising & Amazon DSP Solutions
Amazon is no longer just an e-commerce platform—it’s one of the most powerful advertising ecosystems in the world. These solutions allow businesses to tap into Amazon’s unmatched data and reach audiences far beyond Amazon.com.
Display ads shown across Amazon.com, IMDb, and Amazon’s third-party partner sites. Target users based on Amazon 1st party data from people’s purchase and search habits.
Why it matters:
Amazon’s data allows ads to be shown based on real shopping behavior and intent. This is also one of the most visited websites in the world and people are in the mentality of spending money when they’re on this website.
Video ads are delivered exclusively on the Twitch streaming platform. Great for targeting younger, tech-savvy audiences and gaming audiences.
Why it matters:
Twitch offers direct access to highly engaged communities that are difficult to reach through traditional advertising. This audience is primarily a younger demographic, with over 75% of users ages 18-35.
Who it’s for:
Brands targeting younger, tech-savvy, and gaming audiences
Companies that want culturally relevant placements

Why it matters:
Live sports remain one of the few moments where audiences are highly attentive—making this one of the most powerful environments for brand impact. Sports audiences are a captivated audience because viewers don’t want to miss out on the action.
Sports are often watched live. Not recorded or on demand.
Sports fans are emotionally invested in the game. During breaks, they often keep the TV on that channel because they don’t want to miss the moment play resumes, which increases exposure to ads.
Timeouts, halftime, and intermissions are expected parts of sports. Viewers are conditioned to accept ads during these natural pauses rather than seeing them as interruptions.
Who it’s for:
Brands wanting real-time attention and engagement
Brands looking to target men and sports lovers
Netflix

Ads served within Netflix’s ad-supported environment, targeted by geography and audience signals.

Who it’s for:
Larger brands looking to associate with premium content.
YouTubeTV
What it is:
YouTube TV is a live TV streaming service that replaces traditional cable. It delivers live local and national channels, such as sports, news, and entertainment, through streaming devices instead of cable boxes. Advertising on YouTube TV allows businesses to run full-screen, nonskippable video ads within live TV programming, just like traditional broadcast TV, but with modern targeting and measurement.
Why it matters:
YouTube TV gives local businesses access to live TV advertising without traditional cable limitations. Instead of paying for broad, expensive reach, businesses can focus ads specifically on households in their service area. This means:
Less wasted spend
Better geographic precision
Measurable performance & Better reporting
The Perception Advantage
When audiences see a local business advertising on live TV through YouTube TV, it signals legitimacy, success, and professionalism. Viewers associate live TV advertising with established brands, which helps local businesses instantly feel larger, more credible, and more competitive.
Who it’s for:
Anyone who currently or has previously run traditional TV
Businesses that want to run TV ads but want better reporting
Businesses that want to build local/regional trust and perception
