FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DENVER, CO – March 22, 2026 – Sports Media Inc., the industry leader in high impact sports marketing and in-venue advertising, is thrilled to announce the launch of its revolutionary integrated Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) and Connected TV (CTV) platform for the 2026 sports season. This next-gen initiative marks a significant milestone in the company’s 40-plus year history, reinforcing its mission of providing "Any Sport, Any Venue, Any Time" advertising solutions while pushing the boundaries of the Fortune 100 talent funnel and infrastructure strategy.
As the sports landscape evolves, Sports Media Inc. continues to set the pace by merging physical presence with digital precision. The 2026 expansion focuses on a seamless ecosystem where brands can engage fans through high-definition digital displays surrounding stadiums and hyper-targeted CTV content within the venues themselves, including luxury suites and concourse monitors. With a reach exceeding 100 billion impressions, this move solidifies Sports Media Inc. as a powerhouse in the global advertising arena.
A Legacy of Excellence and Veteran Leadership
Since its inception, Sports Media Inc. has been a pioneer in the sports marketing world. For over four decades, the company has navigated the shifts from traditional print and static signage to the high-tech digital world we live in today. As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), the company brings a level of discipline, strategic planning, and operational excellence that is unmatched in the industry.
"We aren't just selling ad space. We are building the infrastructure for the future of fan engagement and corporate talent development," says Dan Kost, CEO of Sports Media Inc.

The Synergy of DOOH and CTV: Any Sport, Any Venue, Any Time
The 2026 rollout is centered on the convergence of two of the fastest-growing media channels: Digital Out-of-Home and Connected TV. By surrounding stadiums with massive digital screens and integrating with the internal CTV networks, Sports Media Inc. provides a surround-sound marketing experience.
The DOOH component utilizes state-of-the-art billboards and transit displays strategically placed in high-traffic zones leading into the stadium. These displays capture the energy of the pre-game atmosphere, reaching fans while they are at their peak excitement. Once inside, the CTV integration takes over. Brands can now serve targeted, data-driven video content on internal television networks, reaching fans in the concourse, at the bars, and inside private suites.
This holistic approach adheres to the company’s core philosophy: Any Sport, Any Venue, Any Time. Whether it is a sold-out professional football game, a high-stakes basketball tournament, or a local community sports event, the Sports Media Inc. network ensures that the message is delivered with maximum impact.

Infrastructure Strategy: Feeding the Fortune 100 Talent Funnel
One of the most ambitious aspects of the 2026 initiative is the focus on infrastructure strategy and its role in the Fortune 100 talent funnel. Sports Media Inc. recognizes that stadiums are more than just places for entertainment, they are massive hubs of human interaction and potential.
By deploying "Esports Pods" as education infrastructure within these sports venues, Sports Media Inc. is helping to bridge the gap between entertainment and workforce development. These pods serve as centers for STEM readiness, offering young fans and students hands-on experience with the technology that powers the modern world. This creates a direct pipeline for Fortune 100 companies looking for the next generation of tech-savvy employees.
"Our infrastructure strategy is about more than just billboards," Kost explains. "It is about creating environments where STEM education and professional development can happen in a way that feels organic to the fans. We are building a talent funnel that starts in the stadium and ends in the executive offices of the world's largest companies."
This focus on workforce development ensures that the advertising dollars spent today are also contributing to the economic and educational stability of tomorrow. Learn more about these educational initiatives at https://sportsmedia.net/youth-education.
Data-Driven Results: 100B+ Impressions
In the world of advertising, data is king. The new 2026 platform is backed by a robust analytics engine that provides advertisers with real-time insights into reach, frequency, and engagement. With a network that generates over 100 billion annual impressions, the ability to parse this data and provide actionable ROI is what sets Sports Media Inc. apart.
The integration of CTV allows for programmatic buying within the stadium environment, bringing the precision of digital advertising to the live sports experience. Advertisers can now target specific demographics with the same level of accuracy they expect from online campaigns, but with the added emotional weight of a live sporting event.

Innovative In-Venue Solutions: Beyond the Screen
While digital integration is the headline, Sports Media Inc. remains the master of physical in-venue advertising. A staple of their offering remains the highly effective cupholder sponsorships. These branded assets provide a literal "hands-on" experience for the fan, maintaining brand visibility for three to four hours during a single game.
The 2026 season will see these traditional assets work in tandem with the new digital offerings. For example, a fan might see a promotion on a digital billboard outside the stadium, see a video ad on the concourse CTV, and then find a QR code on their branded cupholder that leads them to a personalized mobile experience.
This multi-touchpoint strategy ensures that the brand remains top-of-mind long after the final whistle has blown. For a look at the various divisions within the company that make this possible, visit https://sportsmedia.net/divisions.
Commitment to STEM and Future Workforce Readiness
As part of the 2026 expansion, Sports Media Inc. is doubling down on its commitment to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) readiness. The company believes that the technology used in modern sports marketing – from programmatic CTV to real-time data analytics – provides the perfect classroom for future innovators.
By partnering with educational institutions and utilizing the stadium infrastructure, Sports Media Inc. is facilitating a new model of workforce development. The goal is to ensure that the "talent funnel" is constantly being replenished with individuals who understand the intersection of technology, media, and business.
"We are essentially turning stadiums into living laboratories," says Kost. "The infrastructure we are putting in place for the 2026 season is designed to support this long-term vision of a tech-ready workforce that can meet the demands of Fortune 100 companies."
