LG Ad Solutions, a global leader in advanced advertising for Connected TV (CTV) and cross‑screen experiences, has been named one of America’s fastest‑growing private companies in the 2025 Inc. 5000 rankings. The company placed in the top 50 for the Advertising, Marketing and PR category and secured a spot among the top 700 companies overall, underscoring its rapid rise in a competitive marketplace and its influence in reshaping how brands connect with audiences through smart TVs.
Chief Executive Officer Michael Hudes called the achievement a reflection of the expertise and dedication of the company’s global team, noting that LG Ad Solutions is “not just keeping pace” with the changing CTV landscape but “leading the transformation.” He pointed to innovations in Home Screen ad formats, global expansion, and data‑driven precision as central to the company’s growth strategy.

The recognition comes during a period of significant momentum. Over the past year, LG Ad Solutions has expanded its presence to more than 130 markets, with automatic content recognition (ACR) data coverage in 38 countries. This blend of global reach and localized intelligence enables the company to offer advertisers both scale and market‑specific insights. To support this expansion, the business has doubled its team, bringing on more than 100 specialists across technology, creative strategy, and industry leadership roles.
In the advertising arena, LG has leaned heavily into reimagining the Smart TV Home Screen as a direct‑to‑consumer gateway. Its high‑impact ad formats, designed to engage viewers at the moment of choice, have seen triple‑digit annual growth. A recent integration with Magnite unlocked programmatic buying for Home Screen ads, merging the immersive visual experience of television with the precision and automation of digital ad tech.

The company’s growth also reflects its position within the rapidly expanding free ad‑supported streaming television (FAST) market. LG Channels now offers more than 4,000 channels globally, bolstered by partnerships with major media players including A+E Global Media, AMC Networks, and NBCUniversal. As audiences increasingly embrace FAST platforms, LG is positioning its environment as premium, brand‑safe, and scaled for meaningful advertiser engagement.
Mike Hofman, Inc.’s editor‑in‑chief, said companies earning a spot on this year’s list have shown resilience amid economic pressures and industry shifts, thriving where others have stumbled. For LG Ad Solutions, that resilience appears rooted in its ability to merge data, creativity, and technology to help brands navigate the connected future of television.
