Steve Alpe rejoins BigAds to lead Bud HyperLocal launch

12 January 2026

We are excited to announce the return of Steve Alpe as we launch Bud HyperLocal, a platform that enables advertisers and brands to plan, activate, and measure local digital campaigns across social, video, rich media, and digital out-of-home from a single visual map.

Users can see every region or store in one view and activate campaigns instantly across channels.

“Marketers today want transparency. They want to know exactly where their money goes and what it returns,” said BigAds CEO David Green.

“Bud HyperLocal gives them the tools to manage media directly and remove the opacity that has crept into parts of the industry.”

Alpe was part of the BigAds leadership team from 2016 to 2020, driving sales growth while contributing to product and strategy.

He returns after senior roles with global ad-tech businesses SeenThis, Inskin and Cedara.

“Steve has always combined sharp commercial instincts with strategic thinking,” said Green.

“He understands how creative, media and technology work together, which is exactly the mindset behind Bud HyperLocal.”

Alpe said he was thrilled to return to BigAds.

Bud HyperLocal gives marketers and agencies the freedom to manage their own media relationships while keeping everything transparent, measurable and under their control,” he said.
