StackAdapt just pulled off a programmatic advertising hat trick. In G2’s latest quarterly reports, the demand-side platform (DSP) claimed leadership across three hotly contested categories: Best Connected TV (CTV) Advertising Platforms, Best Digital Audio Advertising Software, and Best DSP overall.

For those tracking adtech trends, the recognitions land at a pivotal moment. Streaming and digital audio are two of the fastest-growing channels in programmatic, and advertisers are desperate for ways to reach increasingly fragmented audiences. StackAdapt’s dominance across these touchpoints suggests it’s not just keeping up—it’s setting the pace.

CTV: Breaking Through the Streaming Noise

Connected TV remains a crowded space where advertisers battle for viewer attention across Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and beyond. StackAdapt’s CTV offering is designed to deliver scale and measurable outcomes, giving brands the tools to stand out amid the streaming surge. G2’s customer-driven ranking indicates advertisers trust the platform to cut through the clutter.

Audio: Turning Up the Volume

Digital audio, whether it’s podcasts, music, or live radio streams, has quickly become a favorite channel for brands chasing engaged audiences. StackAdapt’s platform aims to capitalize on that momentum with dynamic, contextually relevant campaign tools. Landing the top spot in G2’s Digital Audio Advertising category reflects how advertisers see real value in those capabilities.

Still #1 DSP

Perhaps the bigger story is StackAdapt’s continued hold on the Best Demand-Side Platform category. In a field that includes heavyweights like The Trade Desk and Google DV360, staying at the top signals sustained confidence from advertisers across industries.

Why It Matters

G2’s rankings are powered by customer reviews, not industry hype. That makes these recognitions a reliable pulse check on how platforms actually perform in the field. For StackAdapt, it’s further validation of its strategy: keep expanding into emerging channels while doubling down on measurable performance.

The company has built a track record here. From appearing on G2’s Best Software Awards lists in both 2024 and 2025 to maintaining leadership in multiple programmatic categories, StackAdapt has consistently managed to stay in front of shifting advertiser needs.

With CTV and digital audio accelerating, the takeaway is clear: StackAdapt isn’t just along for the ride. It’s steering the conversation about where programmatic advertising goes next.
