Independent Publishers Offer Untapped Opportunities to Reach Important Audiences

When Colossus SSP discusses growth audiences, we refer to users who gather around niche publications and platforms that cater to particular readers. These communities may be geographic, community-based, or interest-driven. They often include publications that highlight local culture, industry-specific conversations, or shared values and identities. If you’re a brand that focuses on a niche market, Colossus SSP can help you stand out and build trust. 

Why Colossus SSP Growth Audiences Matter for Advertisers
  • Reach where others don’t. Growth audiences represent communities that are influential but may be underrepresented in national publications.
  • Deeper trust. Audiences loyal to these outlets value authenticity. Ads in these environments are more likely to be noticed, respected, and clicked.
  • Curated. Colossus SSP’s curated deals offer pre-packaged, brand-safe growth audience segments across CTV, video, and display, making programmatic activation faster, safer, and more effective.
Best Practices for Engaging Growth Audiences
  • Tailor messaging. Content should resonate with the community you want to address, rather than rely on generic creatives.
  • Respect context. Growth audiences are protective of their spaces. Brands need to show up with authenticity and avoid treating them as “check the box” media buys.
  • Think long term. A one-off campaign won’t build credibility. Consistency and repeated presence matter more.
The Bigger Picture

Growth audiences aren’t just a “nice-to-have.” They’re a way for brands to diversify their media strategy, engage with communities that are shaping culture, and build meaningful connections. 

In an increasingly fragmented digital landscape, these audiences often represent the difference between a brand that looks everywhere and one that gets lost in the noise.
