NBC Universal is opening up all its digital advertising inventory -- for all its brands -- to local marketers, and, at the same time, placing all local digital and streaming inventory from its NBC Spot On group on the company’s One Platform media buying and media-planning platform.

Local marketers can now, for example, target viewers who are watching NBC content on a OTT service in Oakland, or a connected TV platform in Chicago, or on iPhones in Philadelphia.

Frank Comerford, chief revenue officer of local advertising and partnerships for NBCUniversal, stated that local advertisers have “told us they want more digital premium video options."

For the first time, NBCUniversal will open up premium opportunities across Peacock, YouTube, and Apple News to regional advertisers. The move doubles the amount of digital and streaming inventory made available through NBCU's OneApp.

In addition, NBC SpotOn will expand to include all geotargeted selling for NBCUniversal inventory, including CTV and OTT.
