iHeartMedia has teamed up with Viant to introduce programmatic advertising across its streaming audio, broadcast radio, and podcast offerings. While programmatic is uncommon in radio, it is more prevalent in other channels. Additionally, a similar partnership with StackAdapt was announced last month. Fluency recently secured $40 million in Series A funding for its digital advertising platform, which operates at scale across paid media and the open web. The platform incorporates agentic AI features that automate workflows, such as dynamically adjusting ads across multiple channels.
The capital will be directed toward improving publisher integrations. Earlier in November, customer engagement platform MoEngage raised $100 million to expand its Merlin AI agentic suite. It has now raised an additional $180 million—comprising $57 million in Series F funding and $123 million in secondary market investments—to further develop that suite, along with MoEngage Inform, which streamlines key communications, and MoEngage Analytics, designed for user behavior insights. This brings the company's total funding to $460. 3 million.
