ImpactFactory.ai adds premium TV ad buying for small businesses

ImpactFactory.ai has launched Version 1.7 with connected TV media placement, letting small businesses create, target and measure television campaigns across premium streaming inventory reaching 90% of U.S. households. The update lowers the entry point for TV ads to a $100 media budget and adds ZIP-code targeting, audience filters and performance measurement tied to website visits.

Why it matters: - Small and local businesses can now buy premium television inventory without the budget barriers that have traditionally kept TV advertising in reach of larger national brands. - Version 1.7 expands television advertising into a channel that can be targeted, measured and tied to business outcomes, not just broad awareness. - ImpactFactory.ai subscriptions start at $99 per month, while TV campaign media budgets start at $100.
