Madhive, a NYC-based technology company for local Connected Television advertising (“CTV”), acquired Frequence, Inc., a Mountain View, CA-based provider of omnichannel ad sales enablement and workflow software for local media companies and agencies.
The amount of the deal was not disclosed. It follows Madhive’s recent $300m investment from Private Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives to accelerate growth and expansion into new channels beyond the local CTV space.
The acquisition expands Madhive’s focus from CTV to other channels to maximize reach and drive outcomes with local audiences and allow advertisers to streamline omnichannel planning, data and audience targeting, campaign execution and creative tools.
