Clearwater, FL – November 19, 2020 — Digital Media Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: DMS) announced during its Q3 earnings call that, as of July, 6 million consumers have successfully been connected with auto insurance providers through the DMS insurance agent platform, ZipQuote.
This latest auto insurance milestone arrives as the company continues to experience robust sequential growth, with particularly strong momentum surrounding auto insurance, health insurance and ecommerce, as the pandemic proves to be an accelerator for transition to digital advertising and the DMS business.

Auto insurance, in particular, is projected to invest 72% of its advertising budget in digital channels by 2024.
