SAN FRANCISCO--()--Nextdoor (NYSE: KIND), the neighborhood network, today announced new advances designed to accelerate the growth of its must-buy local advertising platform. Nextdoor is rolling out Nextdoor Ads Manager, a unified self-service platform that offers advertisers advanced and easy-to-use tools to help drive specific business goals and reach the audiences they care about most. Nextdoor Ads Manager will first be available to mid-market advertisers and will later expand to agencies and small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) later this year.

Nextdoor is continuing to prioritize brand safety and brand measurement via collaborations with Integral Ad Science (Nasdaq: IAS), a global leader in digital media quality and Oracle Advertising (announced last October). Additionally, Nextdoor is announcing a global partnership with digital out of home (DOOH) leader, DIVE Billboards to launch “Nextdoor Outdoor.”

Heidi Andersen, Chief Revenue Officer at Nextdoor said: “We recognize the unique needs of mid-market and SMBs in reaching their local customer base. With Nextdoor Ads Manager, we’re able to provide an accessible and efficient advertising platform that allows businesses to connect with their communities on a personal and meaningful level. In addition, our partnerships with industry heavy-weights like IAS and Oracle Advertising help ensure high-value, optimal ad experiences on the platform.

Rolling out in 2023, Nextdoor Ads Manager offers businesses of all sizes the opportunity to leverage the power of hyper-local advertising by targeting specific neighborhoods and communities in their service areas.

Nextdoor Ads Manager enables advertisers to reach real people, tailor their message with local personalization at national scale, and influence customers when they have highly valuable intent.

Investments in Brand Safety and Brand Measurement

Nextdoor’s continued efforts to partner with industry movers in brand safety and brand measurement ensures the growth and development of its must-buy local advertising platform.
