NCC Media, which functions as the exclusive addressable sales arm of Comcast, Charter and Cox, touts a combined footprint of 80 million U.S. households across its three cable operator owners. It said it surpassed $2 billion in revenue in 2018.
The shop also claims to have partnerships with “every major cable, satellite and teleco service provider.” Its ad buys, NCC Media said, can be coordinated at the household level across more than 85% of the U.S. MVPD market.
"Digital advertising is an important component of our clients' marketing mix,” said NCC Media CEO Nicolle Pangis, in a statement. “Today's launch supports our strategy of expanding the efficient platform NCC built for the TV world to handle more of our clients' media comprehensively. The new capabilities bring increased precision to brand marketing while greatly simplifying the way advertisers manage and monitor consumer narratives across the entire consumer journey."
