“Our customers in the financial services, retail, and quick service restaurants industries have seen substantially better results using STELLAR, including an increase of as much as 40 times return on ad spend, a 30 percent increase in online orders leveraging our unique targeting capabilities and a 40 percent increase in revenue on a per-order basis," she continue. "It is exceedingly clear that STELLAR meets the needs of our customers and drives strong ROI during a time of fundamental shifts in the media industry.”
STELLAR uses rich first-party data and machine learning to orchestrate and optimize omni-channel media spend in real time. It drives high conversion rates and offers insights that enable advertisers to understand the effectiveness of campaigns.
“Our customers are looking for specific results within their advertising campaigns—this is the foundation on which STELLAR was built,” said Lori Tavoularis, chief revenue officer and Nexstar Digital. “We have the ability to deliver a significant increase in performance, as well as the ability to scale our solutions outside of Nexstar’s network and deliver stronger impact and results on ad spend.”
