IRVING, Texas (PRWEB) March 07, 2017 -- Today Nexstar Digital LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXST), announced the launch of Argos, the Company’s proprietary digital advertising management system. Custom built to integrate with premium media technologies such as The Trade Desk, Facebook, Google and MOAT, Argos is designed to better create, launch and manage digital advertising campaigns for small and mid-sized businesses (“SMBs”).
As a new planning tool within the Company’s proprietary PHNX platform, Argos is a fully automated, self-serve digital media activation platform for the Company’s digital sales teams, allowing sellers to service local business clients more efficiently.
