Partnership Market: Townsquare Partners with Muirfield Broadcasting
Townsquare Media announced a strategic digital advertising partnership with Muirfield Broadcasting, owner of STAR 102.5 FM and WIOZ 550 AM in North Carolina. The deal is part of Townsquare’s Media Partnerships initiative within its Townsquare Ignite digital advertising segment, a white-label program launched in 2024 that provides proprietary technology, operational support, and data-driven solutions to local media companies. The Media Partnerships division has grown to 16 strategic alliances, extending Townsquare’s digital advertising platform into 41 additional markets. Townsquare will supply customized digital advertising capabilities to help Muirfield offer expanded marketing services to local, regional, and national advertisers. Quotes in the release are attributed to Shaun Collignon, CRO of Townsquare Ignite, and Tiffany Hewitt, General Manager of Muirfield Broadcasting.
