MNTN and Klaviyo integrate performance TV with CRM for seamless marketing automation

MNTN and Klaviyo have launched an integration connecting performance TV advertising with email and SMS marketing workflows. The two-way integration allows marketers to activate Klaviyo customer audiences—including repeat buyers and cart abandoners—on MNTN's Connected TV platform, then automatically trigger personalised email and text campaigns after viewers see TV ads. The partnership addresses the historical disconnect between television advertising and digital marketing channels. Brands can now use a single customer data source across Connected TV, email, and SMS without manually rebuilding audiences. MNTN CEO Mark Douglas said the integration "unlock[s] the credibility and scale that TV can deliver for brands of any size". Klaviyo's Eddie O'Brien noted that marketing automation can now extend to TV, allowing brands to reach audiences "on the biggest screen in the home".

MNTN reports $82.5M revenue, up 21% year-over-year, with adjusted EBITDA surging 48%

MNTN reported second quarter 2026 revenue of $82.5 million, representing 21% year-over-year growth, and adjusted EBITDA of $21.5 million, up 48% year-over-year. Both metrics came in at the high end of company guidance. Chief executive officer Mark Douglas said the company is reiterating its full-year 2026 outlook. He noted that MNTN's Performance TV category is transitioning from early adopters to mainstream marketing use. The company began expanding its sales organisation in Q4 2025 and is focusing on three priorities: expanding products with continued AI investment, broadening access to premium television inventory, and strengthening its go-to-market organisation. Douglas said the moves represent execution at greater scale rather than a strategic shift.

MNTN becomes first CTV platform to integrate TV ad attribution into HubSpot CRM

MNTN, a Connected TV performance marketing platform, has announced an integration with HubSpot, becoming the first CTV platform to bring TV ad activity directly into the CRM system at the individual contact level. The integration allows B2B marketers to track which prospective customers were exposed to TV advertisements. The partnership addresses a key visibility gap in television advertising by connecting CTV data to HubSpot's contact records and activity feeds. Marketers gain full-funnel attribution data, from marketing qualified leads to pipeline creation, whilst sales teams can see prospect TV ad exposure details within contact records. More than 90% of MNTN advertisers are entering television for the first time, many from B2B and SaaS sectors seeking measurable outcomes similar to digital channels. The integration is now available in the HubSpot App Marketplace.

MNTN shares plunge 70% from IPO despite Q1 profit and 25% revenue growth

MNTN shares fell sharply on Wednesday despite the ad tech company turning a profit in the first quarter. Revenue grew 25% year-over-year with expanding margins and profitability. CEO Mark Douglas told Yahoo Finance the company beat guidance and remains confident about its performance TV business. The revenue growth deceleration from 36% in Q4 to 25% in Q1 reflects seasonal patterns tied to e-commerce, with Q1 typically the smallest quarter. The stock has fallen approximately 70% from its first-day trading close, though analyst sentiment remains largely positive with around 90% buy ratings. Douglas said execution will drive investor enthusiasm, noting the company is less than a year into its public listing and that new stocks commonly experience such cycles.
