Ion Television this week launches a multifaceted national B2B campaign in support of its 2018-19 Upfront season, “Ion Television Quality Shows,” showcasing the network’s lineup of original programs and hit series, its strength of reach, as well as its commitment to guaranteed delivery for advertisers.

The campaign targets advertising agencies in national industry-facing print and digital outlets, as well as out-of-home advertising in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Detroit. Advertisers can visit Ion’s dedicated website, iontelevision.com/qualityshows, to learn more about the network and its offerings.
