Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business Digital Media Solutions, Inc. (“DMS Inc.”) is a digital performance marketing company offering a diversified lead and software delivery platform that drives high value and high intent leads to its customers. As used in this Quarterly Report, the “Company” refers to DMS Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, (including its wholly-owned subsidiary, CEP V DMS US Blocker Company, a Delaware corporation (“Blocker”)). The Company is headquartered in Clearwater, Florida. The Company generates revenue in North America and internationally, with the majority of the revenue in the United States. Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal and recurring entries considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented have been included. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. Business Combination On July 15, 2020, Digital Media Solutions Holding (“DMSH”) consummated the Business Combination with Leo Holdings Corp. (“Leo”) pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (“Business Combination”). Pursuant to the Business Combination, DMS Inc. acquired, directly and through its acquisition of the equity of Blocker, approximately 60.9% of the membership interest in DMSH, while Prism Data, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Prism”), CEP V-A DMS AIV Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (“Clairvest Direct Seller”) and related entities (the “Sellers”) retained approximately 39.1% of the membership interest in DMSH (“non-controlling interests”). For additional information, see Note 2. Business Combination in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2022 Form 10-K/A. Non-controlling Interest The non-controlling interest represents the membership interest in DMSH held by holders other than the Company. As of June 30, 2023, the Prism, Clairvest Direct Sellers and SmarterChaos combined ownership percentage in DMSH was 39.1% and as of December 31, 2022 it was 39.1%. Principles of Consolidation The Company consists of DMS Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Blocker. The Company consolidates the assets, liabilities and operating results of DMSH and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations attributable to the non-controlling interests are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, and the non-controlling interests are reported as a separate component of equity. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported as separate financial statement line items in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management regularly makes estimates and assumptions that are inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements including, but not limited to, the fair value of preferred warrants, private placement warrants, the allowance for credit losses, stock-based compensation, fair value of intangibles acquired in business combinations, loss contingencies, contingent consideration liabilities, asset impairments, and deferred taxes and amounts associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement. Significant Accounting Policies There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in Note 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 2022 Form 10-K/A except those related to the accounting and valuation of preferred stock and warrants. See Note 8. Fair Value Measurements and Note 9. Equity . New Accounting Standards Accounting Standards Recently Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance ASC 326 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses , regarding the impairment model known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model on accounting for credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables, and has since issued subsequent updates to the initial guidance. The amended guidance requires the application of a CECL model, which measures credit losses based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The guidance requires adoption using a modified retrospective approach and is effective for emerging growth companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2023, which was not material to the consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, revenue from Europe represented $5.1 million and revenue from Other International countries represented $3.5 million of our total revenue, respectively. Accounts Receivable, net Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Allowance for credit losses is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience, delinquency trends and current credit conditions. The Company reviews its Allowance for credit losses monthly. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. All other balances are reviewed on a pooled basis. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. The activity in the Allowance for credit losses is as follows (in thousands): Balance, December 31, 2022 $ 4,656 Additions charged to expense 1,309 Deductions/write-offs (2,064) ASU 2016-13 (Topic 326) adjustment 41 Balance, June 30, 2023 $ 3,942 Contract Balances The Company’s contract liabilities result from payments received from clients in advance of revenue recognition as they precede the Company’s satisfaction of the associated performance obligation. If a customer pays consideration before the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, such amounts are classified as deferred revenue and recorded within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the balance of deferred revenue was $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively. We expect the majority of the deferred revenue balance at June 30, 2023 to be recognized as revenue during the following quarter. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, one customer accounted for approximately 12.5% and 15.3%, respectively, of our total revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, one customer accounted for approximately 24.7% and 21.0%, respectively, of our total revenue.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Reportable Segments	Reportable SegmentsThe Company’s operating segments are determined based on the financial information reviewed by its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), and the basis upon which management makes resource allocation decisions and assesses the performance of the Company’s segments. The Company evaluates the operating performance of its segments based on financial measures such as Net revenue, cost of revenue, and Gross profit. Given the nature of the digital marketing solutions business, the amount of assets does not provide meaningful insight into the operating performance of the Company. As a result, the amount of the Company’s assets is not subject to segment allocation and total assets is not included within the disclosure of the Company’s segment financial information. The following tables are a reconciliation of the operations of our segments to loss from operations (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Net revenue $ 82,551 $ 91,197 $ 172,863 $ 200,307 Brand Direct 51,694 44,789 107,096 106,017 Marketplace 32,477 54,092 69,765 112,898 Technology Solutions 2,225 2,548 4,561 4,884 Intercompany eliminations (3,845) (10,232) (8,559) (23,492) Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) 63,343 67,784 131,384 145,624 Brand Direct 41,231 36,137 84,046 84,591 Marketplace 25,447 41,463 54,785 83,843 Technology Solutions 510 416 1,112 682 Intercompany eliminations (3,845) (10,232) (8,559) (23,492) Gross profit (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) 19,208 23,413 41,479 54,683 Brand Direct 10,463 8,652 23,050 21,426 Marketplace 7,030 12,629 14,980 29,055 Technology Solutions 1,715 2,132 3,449 4,202 Salaries and related costs 11,489 13,237 23,715 26,945 General and administrative expenses 12,124 12,444 24,979 23,544 Depreciation and amortization 5,872 7,173 10,955 14,233 Impairment of goodwill 33,795 — 33,795 — Impairment of intangible assets 7,791 — 7,791 — Acquisition costs 658 279 3,003 292 Change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities (90) (55) (77) 2,536 Loss from operations $ (52,431) $ (9,665) $ (62,682) $ (12,867)

Amortization expense relating to intangible assets subject to amortization for each of the next five years and thereafter is estimated to be as follows (in thousands): 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 Thereafter Amortization expense $ 5,005 $ 9,504 $ 4,990 $ 4,301 $ 3,687 $ 15,011 Amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets is recorded on an accelerated straight-line basis. Amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets was $3.7 million and $6.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $5.0 million and $10.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Impairment analysis The Company considered if an event occurred or circumstances changed that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount and noted none for the Brand and Technology reporting units in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company determined that the recent economic downturn and inflation, along with the Company’s revenue reduction and decreased stock market price were indicators of impairment for the Marketplace reporting unit under ASC 350-20, Goodwill , and ASC 360-10, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets for certain asset groups during 2023. The Company determined the fair value of Goodwill at the reporting unit level utilizing a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis incorporating variables such as revenue projections, projected operating cash flow margins, and discount rates, as well as a market-based approach employing comparable sales analysis. The valuation assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model reflect historical performance of the Company, the prevailing values in the Company’s industry, including the extent of the economic downturn related to the recent inflation and its economic contraction and its expected timing of recovery. The result of our interim impairment test indicated that there was Goodwill impairment of $33.8 million for the period ended June 30, 2023. Further, the Company performed a recoverability test for certain asset groups in the Marketplace reporting unit to determine whether an impairment loss should be measured. The undiscounted cash flows in the recoverability test compared to the asset group’s carrying value of invested capital was less than the carrying value indicating an impairment. As a result, the Company calculated the fair value of the finite-lived intangible assets. Intangible assets include technology, brand, and customer relationships. The fair value of technology was determined using the Relief from Royalty Approach; fair value of the customer relationships was determined using the Multi Period Excess Earnings Method; and fair value of the brand was determined using the Relief from Royalty Method. As a result of the fair value being lower than the carrying value for certain assets, the Company recorded impairment loss of $7.8 million to Intangible assets which are in asset groups included in the Marketplace reporting unit, which is included in the consolidated statements of operations as Impairment of intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions ClickDealer On March 30, 2023, the Company completed a transaction to acquire the HomeQuote.io home services marketplace from Customer Direct Group, along with the supporting media and technology assets of the ClickDealer international ad network, ("ClickDealer"). ClickDealer’s international performance ad network and the HomeQuote.io marketplace connects consumers with brands within the home improvement and related home services sector. The Company paid cash consideration of $31.8 million upon closing of the transaction, with an additional $3.5 million in holdbacks, subject to certain criteria. On July 3, 2023, after the successful completion of the first tranche in criteria was met, $1.0 million of the holdback was paid to the Sellers in cash. The remaining holdback of $2.5 million is expected to be released within 24 months of the closing date, subject to certain criteria. The transaction also included up to $10.0 million in contingent consideration, subject to the achievement of certain revenue and net margin based milestones in two subsequent one-year measurement periods, payable in cash or, if mutually agreed to by the Company and the Seller, in Class A Common Stock. The Estimated Net Working Capital adjustment upon closing was $0.3 million. The Final Net Working Capital adjustment was $0.6 million. During the measurement period (which is the period required to obtain all necessary information that existed at the acquisition date, or to conclude that such information is unavailable, not to exceed one year), additional assets or liabilities may be recognized, or there could be changes to the amounts of assets or liabilities previously recognized on a preliminary basis, if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of these assets or liabilities as of that date. All recognized assets and liabilities are preliminary, including any foreign jurisdiction taxation, if any, and except for the contingent consideration. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management's judgment and involves the use of significant estimates, including projections of future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, asset lives and market multiples. As the result of the completed valuation of the assets acquired (including intangibles) and liabilities assumed, as well as the contingent consideration liabilities, as of the acquisition dates, the following adjustments were recorded related to further analysis of the forecast (for example, items that occurring in the pre-acquisition period that should have been factored into the forecast as of the acquisition date) and refinements to the significant assumptions in the valuation models used to value the intangibles and contingent consideration liabilities. As a result, we have made adjustments to the initial fair value of our intangible assets, goodwill, contingent consideration and working capital. The impact of these adjustments at March 30, 2023 are as follows (in thousands): ClickDealer Acquisition Date Fair Value Fair Value Mark-to-Market Changes Revised Acquisition Date Fair Value Goodwill $ 6,207 $ (1,206) $ 5,001 Intangible Assets: Technology $ 5,010 $ (230) $ 4,780 Customer relationships $ 20,400 $ 1,500 $ 21,900 Brand $ 2,840 $ (130) $ 2,710 Contingent consideration liability $ 2,457 $ (65) $ 2,392 Working capital accounts $ 3,320 $ 245 $ 3,565 The Company primarily used Income Approach methodologies, which represents Level 3 fair value measurements, to assess the components of its purchase price allocation. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, whereby the excess of the fair value of the business over the fair value of identifiable net assets was allocated to Goodwill. Under ASC 805, an acquirer must recognize any assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, measured at fair value as of that date. Assets meeting the identification criteria included tangible assets, such as real and personal property, and intangible assets. Identified intangible assets included the brand and customer relationships of the acquired business. Fair value of the ClickDealer and HomeQuote.io brands was determined using the Income Approach and Relief from Royalty Method, fair value of the technology was determined using the Relief from Royalty Method, and fair value of customer relationships was determined using the Multi Period Excess Earnings Method. The Goodwill related to this transaction reflects the workforce and synergies expected from combining the operations of ClickDealer and will be included in the Brand Direct reportable segment for ClickDealer and in the Marketplace reportable segment for HomeQuote.io. The Goodwill expected to be deductible for tax purposes is being evaluated. Intangible assets primarily consist of brand, technology and customer relationships with an estimated useful life of five years for brand, seven years for technology and twelve years for customer relationships. Traverse On May 10, 2022, the Company acquired Traverse Data, Inc. (“Traverse”). Traverse is a marketing and advertising technology company. The Company paid cash consideration of $2.5 million upon closing of the transaction.

On August 16, 2023, DMS LLC and DMSH LLC, along with certain subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Facility (the “First Amendment”) with the Lenders, which, among other things, modified the Credit Facility as follows: a. allows for the payment-in-kind (“PIK”) of the quarterly interest payments due and payable on September 30, 2023 and each of the following three quarters, with all PIK interest required to be repaid no later than December 31, 2025; b. provides that (a) if the borrower exercises the PIK option, the interest rate will be equal to SOFR+11%; (b) if interest is paid in cash during the PIK period, the rate will be equal to SOFR+8%; and (c) following the PIK period, the interest rate will be equal to SOFR+8%; provided that if the Company (1) achieves the credit rating of B3 by Moody’s and B- by S&P, and (2) has repaid the aggregate capitalized PIK interest, the interest rate will be SOFR + 6.0%; c. if any loans under the Credit Facility remain outstanding on or after January 1, 2025, back-end PIK interest will accrue as follows: 5% for the period from January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025; 7.5% for the period from July 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025; and 10% in calendar year 2026 until maturity; d. eliminates the total net leverage ratio covenant for the remainder of 2023, inclusive of the second quarter of 2023, and sets the total net leverage ratio of DMSH LLC and its restricted subsidiaries starting at 15.6x and 10.6x for the first and second quarters of 2024, respectively, and varying for every quarter there after, down to 6.9x for the fourth quarter of 2025 and until maturity; e. eliminates the right of the Borrower to undertake an equity cure to cure any breach of the total net leverage ratio covenant; f. establishes a minimum liquidity covenant of $9 million for the remainder of 2023 and $10 million thereafter until maturity (subject to the Company’s ability to exercise an equity cure solely with respect to the liquidity covenant); and g. modifies in certain respects the affirmative and negative covenants and the events of default in the Credit Facility, including subjecting non ordinary course investments and restricted distributions to consent of the requisite Lenders. The amendment does not contemplate the issuance of any equity or warrants to the Company’s lenders. The foregoing description of the First Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text thereof, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. Debt Maturity Schedule The scheduled maturities of our total debt are estimated as follows at June 30, 2023 (in thousands): 2023 $ 1,125 2024 2,250 2025 2,250 2026 264,875 Total debt $ 270,500

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, income taxes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and income taxes payable, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. Series A and Series B Preferred Warrants On March 29, 2023, the Company completed a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with certain investors to purchase 80 thousand shares of Series A convertible redeemable Preferred stock (“Series A Preferred stock”) and 60 thousand shares of Series B convertible redeemable Preferred stock (“Series B Preferred stock”, and together with Series A Preferred stock, “Preferred Warrants”) for an aggregate purchase price of $14.0 million (the “Preferred Offering”), including $6.0 million of related party participation. The Company also issued the purchasers in the Preferred Offering warrants to acquire 14.4 million shares of Class A Common Stock. The Preferred Warrants are exercisable for shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at any time at the option of the holder and expire five years from the date of issuance. The Preferred Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis or for cash at an exercise price of $0.6453 per share of Class A Common Stock. The exercise price of the Preferred Warrants is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, subdivisions, combinations, reclassifications, or similar events affecting the Company’s Common Stock. The Preferred Warrants contain a put feature providing the right to the holder for a net cash settlement in the event of a fundamental transaction, which is defined as instances where the Company (i) effects any merger or consolidation of the Company, (ii) effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance, or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) completes any purchase offer, tender offer, or exchange offer that has been accepted by the holders of at least 50% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, (iv) effects any reclassification, reorganization, or recapitalization of the Class A Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Class A Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination in which more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock is acquired. Under such a fundamental transaction, the holder can require the Company to purchase any unexercised warrant shares at the pro-rata share of the sales price or calculated value less the exercise price of the Warrant share. Due to the tender offer provision, the Preferred Warrants are classified as a derivative liability measured at fair value, with changes in fair value reported each period in earnings. The fair value of the warrant is estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The fair value of the Preferred Warrants of approximately $8.7 million was estimated at the date of issuance using the following weighted average assumptions. Transaction costs incurred attributable to the issuance of the Preferred Warrants were part of the preferred shares issuance costs that were 0.9 million. The fair value of the derivative Preferred Warrants is considered a Level 3 valuation and is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. The change in the value of the derivative Preferred Warrants are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as Change in fair value of warrant liabilities. The significant assumptions were as follows: June 30, 2023 Preferred Warrants Fair Value Per Share $ 0.22 Preferred Warrant valuation inputs: Stock price - DMS Inc. Class A Common Stock $ 0.33 Remaining contractual term in years 4.75 Estimated volatility 100.0 % Dividend yield 0.0 % Risk free interest rate 4.13 % Private Placement Warrants Each Company Private Placement Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock. This means only a whole warrant may be exercised at a given time by a warrant holder. The warrants will expire five years after the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company may call the Company Private Placement Warrants for redemption as follows: (1) in whole and not in part; (2) at a price of $0.01 per warrant; (3) upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and (4) only if the last reported closing price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. If the Company calls the Company Private Placement Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Company Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” The exercise price and number of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of Class A Common Stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrant shares. We record the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants as a liability in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is considered a Level 3 valuation and is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. Changes in fair value of the Private Placement Warrants are presented under Change in fair value of warrant liabilities on the consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has approximately 4.0 million Private Placement Warrants outstanding. The significant assumptions were as follows: June 30, 2023 Private Placement Warrants Fair Value Per Share $ 0.01 Private Placement Warrant valuation inputs: Stock price - DMS Inc. Class A Common Stock $ 0.33 Remaining contractual term in years 2.04 Estimated volatility 100.0 % Dividend yield 0.0 % Risk free interest rate 4.80 % Contingent consideration payable related to acquisitions The fair value of the contingent considerations payable for the Aimtell/PushPros and ClickDealer acquisitions (described in Note 5. Acquisitions ) were determined using a Monte Carlo fair value analysis, based on estimated performance and the probability of achieving certain targets. As certain inputs are not observable in the market, the contingent consideration is classified as a Level 3 instrument. Changes in fair value of contingent consideration are presented under Change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities on the consolidated statements of operations. The contingent consideration payable for the Crisp acquisition was finalized on April 1, 2022, the end of the earnout period. As the full target was met, the payment was made on July 1, 2022 in the form of Class A Common Stock.(See Note 5. Acquisitions ). The contingent consideration for the Aramis acquisition was finalized on December 31, 2022, the end of the earnout period, and became payable during the second quarter of 2023, in the form of cash or Class A Common Stock, at the election of the Company. The timing of payment of the Aramis earnout remains subject to resolution of certain outstanding indemnity issues relating to the acquisition. (See Note 5. Acquisitions ). The contingent consideration for the Traverse acquisition was finalized on May 10, 2023, which the Company paid on July 10, 2023 in the form cash payment of $0.5 million.The following table presents the contingent consideration assumptions.

Equity [Abstract]
Equity	Equity Preferred Stock The Board has the authority to issue shares of preferred stock from time to time on terms it may determine, to divide shares of preferred stock into one or more series, and to fix the designations, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of preferred stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preference, sinking fund terms, and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of any series to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The issuance of Preferred Stock of the Company could have the effect of decreasing the trading price of Company Common Stock, restricting dividends on the capital stock of the Company, diluting the voting power of the Company Common Stock, impairing the liquidation rights of the capital stock of the Company, or delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 preferred shares with such designations, voting, and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board (of which 140,000 preferred shares have been issued). March 2023 Offering On March 29, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain investors, pursuant to which the Company sold (i) 80,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock accompanied with warrants to purchase 8,253,968 Class A Common Stock (“Series A Warrant”) and (ii) 60,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock accompanied with warrants to purchase 6,190,476 shares of Class A Common Stock (“Series B Warrants”). One share of Series A Preferred Stock with the accompanying warrants (“Series A Unit”) and one share of Series B Preferred Stock with the accompanying warrants (“Series B Unit”) were sold at $100 per unit. Although the Preferred Stock are mandatorily redeemable, the Preferred Stock have a substantive conversion feature; and therefore, are not required to be classified as a liability under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity . However, as the Preferred Stock are mandatorily redeemable, redeemable in certain circumstances at the option of the holder, and redeemable in certain circumstances upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the Company’s control, the Company has classified the Preferred Stock as mezzanine equity in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company measures the Preferred Stock at its maximum redemption value plus dividends not currently declared or paid but which will be payable upon redemption. On June 15, 2023 the Company remeasured the Preferred Stock following the accretion method, which resulted in the Preferred Stock being measured at its maximum redemption value of $16.3 million and accretion of $11.3 million, included in Cumulative Deficit on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023. The fair value of the preferred stock at issuance was recognized using the discount method, which accounts for the 11% discount of the stated value and a pro-rata allocation of the proceeds between the preferred shares and the warrants, less a pro-rata amount of the transaction costs. Dividend Rights The holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends at a 4.0% rate, which is accrued and compounded annually whether or not declared. These dividends are payable in cash or Class A Common Stock upon conversion or redemption of the underlying preferred stock. Additionally, the holders are also entitled to participate in dividends declared or paid on Class A Common Stock on an as-converted basis. Conversion Rights Each holder has the right, at its option, to convert its Preferred Stock into Class A Common Stock at either, at the option of the holder, (1) the Conversion Price, which is equal to $0.56 per share or (2) the Alternate Conversion Price, which is equal to the lesser of (i) 90% of the arithmetic average of the three lowest daily VWAPs (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) of the 20 trading days prior to the applicable conversion date or (ii) 90% of the VWAP of the trading day prior to the applicable conversion date. Both the Conversion Price and the Alternate Conversion Price are subject to a floor price of $0.484 (“Floor Price”). However, for the Series A Preferred Stock only, if redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock is accelerated by either the Company or the holder (see the Accelerated Redemption provisions defined below), (i) any cash payment required to be made is not made, and (ii) the existing investors have defaulted under their obligations to purchase the Series A pursuant to the terms of a side letter, then the Floor Price shall be $0.161. The Conversion Price is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, including in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, subdivisions, combinations, recapitalization, or similar events, and subject to price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of Class A Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions). Additionally, the Conversion Price is subject to adjustment for any increase or decrease to the exercise price or conversion price to any outstanding options or convertible securities the Company has issued. The Company determined that the nature of the Preferred Stock was more akin to an equity instrument than a debt instrument because the Preferred Stock are subject to a substantive Conversion Option that is in-the-money and the Company has the ultimate authority to settle redemption of the Preferred Warrants upon the Mandatory Redemption or Accelerated Redemption (all defined below) by issuing shares of Class A Common Stock rather than paying cash. Further, such potential share settlement will be at the lower of the Conversion Price or based on the Company’s VWAP allowing for the holder to be exposed to the risks and returns of the underlying Class A Common Stock. Accordingly, the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded option to convert the Preferred Stock at the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Option”) was clearly and closely related to the host contract. As such, the Conversion Option was not required to be bifurcated from the host under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging . Redemption Rights In addition to the share-settled redemption feature discussed above in the Conversion Rights section (e.g., conversion of the Preferred Stock at the Alternate Conversion Price), the Preferred Warrants are subject to several redemption features. Mandatory Redemption – On and after June 29, 2023, the Preferred Stock are required to redeem 1/10th of the number of the issued shares of Preferred Stock on a monthly basis (“Installments”). The redemption price is paid, at the option of the Company: (i) in cash at an amount that is approximately 104% of the stated value of $111.11 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends and any other amounts due (the “Mandatory Redemption Price”), (ii) in a variable number shares of Class A Common Stock based on a share price equal to the lesser of (1) the prevailing Conversion Price, (2) 90% of the arithmetic average of the three lowest daily VWAPs of the 20 Trading Days prior to the applicable mandatory redemption date, or (3) 90% of the VWAP of the trading day prior to the applicable mandatory redemption date, provided that such share price used will not be below the Floor Price, or (iii) in a combination thereof. Installments may be deferred or reallocated to other dates at the Preferred Stockholders’ discretion. Accelerated Redemption – The holders of the Preferred Stock have the right to require redemption of all or any part of the Preferred Stock at any time on or after June 15, 2023. Additionally, the Company has the option to elect redemption of all Series A shares at any time on or after June 15, 2023. The redemption price, as elected by the holder, is paid in either (i) the Mandatory Redemption Price in cash, (ii) in a variable number of shares of Common Stock based on a share price equal to the lesser of (1) the prevailing Conversion Price, (2) 90% of the arithmetic average of the three lowest daily VWAPs of the 20 Trading Days prior to the applicable accelerated redemption date or (3) 90% of the VWAP of the trading day prior to the applicable accelerated redemption date, provided that such share price used will not be below the Floor Price, or (iii) a combination thereof. Triggered Optional Redemption – If the Company closes a debt or equity financing, then each holder has the right to require the Company to use 30% of the proceeds from the financing to repurchase a pro rata portion of that holder's Preferred Stock in cash at the Mandatory Redemption Price. Default Redemption – Upon certain default events in which the Company defaults on its covenants, promises, or obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement or defaults on any of its other obligations, the holder has the option to redeem the Preferred Stock for a cash amount equal to 115% of the Mandatory Redemption Price. Bankruptcy Redemption – If the Company is subject to a bankruptcy event, then the Company is required to immediately redeem the outstanding Preferred Stock for cash. The redemption price paid shall equal 115% of the Mandatory Redemption Price. Change of Control Redemption – Upon change of control events (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), the holders have the option to require the Company to redeem the Preferred Stock for cash. The redemption price paid shall equal the greater of (i) the product of 115% multiplied by the Mandatory Redemption Price and (ii) the prevailing Conversion Price plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. If upon an Accelerated Redemption, Triggered Optional Redemption, or Default Redemption, any cash payment required to be made is not made, then the holder can elect to retain its shares of Preferred Warrants that have not been redeemed for cash and sell the shares of Preferred Stock to a third party. Additionally, if such an election is not made by the holder, the Company has the authority to pay to the holder the unpaid cash redemption payment in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock. On July 3, 2023, a non-controlling interest holder redeemed 617,400 Class B Common Stock in exchange for Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. As noted above, the Company determined that the nature of the Preferred Stock were more akin to an equity instrument than a debt instrument. The Company determined that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded redemption features discussed above were not clearly and closely related to the host contract. However, the Company assessed these items further and determined they did not meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging . Liquidation Rights Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), prior and in preference to the common stock and the Series B Preferred Stock, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive out of the assets available for distribution to stockholders an amount equal in cash to 115% of the stated value of $111.11 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends and any other amounts due. After the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the Series A holders, the Series B holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets available for distribution to stockholders an amount equal in cash to 115% of the stated value of $111.11 per share purchase price plus all accrued and unpaid dividends and any other amounts due. Voting Rights Holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with the holders of the ordinary shareholders on an as-converted basis. Holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to a separate class vote with respect to (i) altering or changing the powers, preferences, or rights of the Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely, (ii) amending the Certificate of Incorporation or other charter documents in a manner adverse to the holders, (iii) increasing the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock, or (iv) entering into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Employee and Director Incentive Plans	Employee and Director Incentive Plans 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan On July 15, 2020, Leo’s shareholders approved the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan allows for the issuance and repurchase of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards (including restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)) and other stock-based awards. Directors, officers and employees, as well as others performing independent consulting or advisory services for the Company or its affiliates, are eligible for grants under the 2020 Plan. The aggregate number of shares reserved under the 2020 Plan is approximately 11.6 million. The 2020 Plan terminates on June 24, 2030. The related costs were approximately $0.9 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $2.1 million and $3.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and are included in Salaries and related costs within the consolidated statements of operations. Fair value of stock-based compensation is based on the closing trading price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. Restricted Stock Units For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no new RSU awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 , 362,000 RSUs were forfeited. On April 12, 2022, the Board voted to award 762,000 RSUs consisting of 381,406 performance-based vesting RSUs (“PRSUs”) and 381,406 time-based vesting RSUs (“TRSUs”) to certain employees of the Company under the 2020 Plan. The PRSUs vest one-fourth each year based on four years of continuous service starting with January 1, 2022 through January 1, 2026. The TRSUs vest one-fourth each years based on four years continuous service starting April 12, 2022 and ending April 12, 2026.Vesting of the PRSUs are also subject to certain performance metrics of the Company, which the Company evaluates on a quarterly basis. The fair value of stock-based compensation is based on the closing trading price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. For PRSUs, fair value was also determined based on the assessed likelihood of meeting the performance metrics for each tranche of the awards as of the grant date. The TRSU’s related stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The PRSU awards’ expense is recognized on an accelerated basis over the vesting period.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes As a result of the Business Combination, the Company consists of DMS Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Blocker, which owns 60.9% of equity interests in DMSH. DMSH is treated as a partnership for purposes of U.S. federal and certain state and local income tax. As a U.S. partnership, generally DMSH will not be subject to corporate income taxes (except with respect to UE and Traverse, as described below). Instead, each of the ultimate partners (including DMS Inc.) are taxed on their proportionate share of DMSH taxable income. While the Company consolidates DMSH for financial reporting purposes, the Company will only be taxed on its allocable share of future earnings (i.e. those earnings not attributed to the non-controlling interests, which continue to be taxed on their own allocable share of future earnings of DMSH). The Company’s income tax expense is attributable to the allocable share of earnings from DMSH, and the activities of UE and Traverse, wholly-owned U.S. corporate subsidiaries of DMSH, which is subject to U.S. federal and state and local income taxes. The income tax burden on the earnings allocated to the non-controlling interests is not reported by the Company in its consolidated financial statements under GAAP. As a result, the Company’s effective tax rate is expected to differ materially from the statutory rate. The Company’s tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and makes a year-to-date adjustment to the provision. The Company recorded income tax benefit of $2.15 million and $2.16 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The blended effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was 24.5% and 24.5%, respectively, which varies from our statutory U.S. tax rate due to taxable income or loss that is allocated to the non-controlling interest and impact of the valuation allowance on DMS Inc. The Company recorded income tax expense $0.05 million and $0.36 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The blended effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was 24.8% and 26.4%, respectively, which varies from our statutory U.S. tax rate due to taxable income or loss that is allocated to the non-controlling interest.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per ShareBasic earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to DMS Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to DMS Inc. adjusted for the income effects of dilutive instruments by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive elements. The following table sets forth reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used to compute basic and diluted loss per share of Class A common stock: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Numerator: Net loss $ (47,493) $ (11,887) $ (68,194) $ (17,244) Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest (18,553) $ (4,905) (26,639) (7,121) Accretion and dividend Series A and B convertible redeemable preferred stock (11,341) $ — (11,341) — Net loss attributable to Digital Media Solutions, Inc. - Class A common stock - basic $ (40,281) $ (6,982) $ (52,896) $ (10,123) Add: Income effects of Class B convertible common stock $ — $ (4,903) $ — $ (7,116) Net loss attributable to Digital Media Solutions, Inc. - Class A common stock - diluted $ (40,281) $ (11,885) $ (52,896) $ (17,239) Denominator: Weighted-average Class A common shares outstanding – basic 40,094 39,553 39,805 37,969 Add: dilutive effects of Class B convertible common stock — 25,699 — 25,713 Weighted-average Class A common shares outstanding – diluted 40,094 65,252 39,805 63,682 Net loss per common share: Basic – per Class A common shares $ (1.00) $ (0.18) $ (1.33) $ (0.27) Diluted – per Class A common shares $ (1.00) $ (0.18) $ (1.33) $ (0.27) Shares of the Company’s Class B convertible common stock and Series A and B Preferred stock do not participate in the earnings or losses of the Company and are therefore not participating securities.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Legal proceedings In the ordinary course of business, we are involved from time to time in various claims and legal actions incident to our operations, both as a plaintiff and defendant. In the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, none of these other claims are currently expected to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in these matters. On October 28, 2022, the Company received notice from the Office of the Ohio Attorney General (“OH OAG”) that it was reviewing certain of DMS’s business practices pursuant to its authority under the Consumer Sales Practices Act, Ohio Revised Code Section 1345.06, and the Telephone Solicitation Sales Act, Ohio Revised Code Sections 4719.11; 109.87(C). While the Company believes that its practices are in compliance with applicable law, the Company and the OH OAG have entered into discussions regarding the terms of a potential resolution to the OH AG's review. It is uncertain whether a mutually acceptable resolution can be reached and the terms thereof, and, accordingly, the Company is unable to predict the impact of any such resolution to the Company’s business operations or financial results.

Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal and recurring entries considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented have been included. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
Business Combination	Business Combination On July 15, 2020, Digital Media Solutions Holding (“DMSH”) consummated the Business Combination with Leo Holdings Corp. (“Leo”) pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (“Business Combination”). Pursuant to the Business Combination, DMS Inc. acquired, directly and through its acquisition of the equity of Blocker, approximately 60.9% of the membership interest in DMSH, while Prism Data, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Prism”), CEP V-A DMS AIV Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (“Clairvest Direct Seller”) and related entities (the “Sellers”) retained approximately 39.1% of the membership interest in DMSH (“non-controlling interests”). For additional information, see Note 2. Business Combination in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2022 Form 10-K/A.
Non-controlling Interest	Non-controlling InterestThe non-controlling interest represents the membership interest in DMSH held by holders other than the Company.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The Company consists of DMS Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Blocker. The Company consolidates the assets, liabilities and operating results of DMSH and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations attributable to the non-controlling interests are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, and the non-controlling interests are reported as a separate component of equity.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported as separate financial statement line items in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management regularly makes estimates and assumptions that are inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements including, but not limited to, the fair value of preferred warrants, private placement warrants, the allowance for credit losses, stock-based compensation, fair value of intangibles acquired in business combinations, loss contingencies, contingent consideration liabilities, asset impairments, and deferred taxes and amounts associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement.
New Accounting Standards	New Accounting Standards Accounting Standards Recently Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance ASC 326 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses , regarding the impairment model known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model on accounting for credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables, and has since issued subsequent updates to the initial guidance. The amended guidance requires the application of a CECL model, which measures credit losses based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The guidance requires adoption using a modified retrospective approach and is effective for emerging growth companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2023, which was not material to the consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” and has elected to adhere to the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This election allows the Company to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.
Earnings per share	Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to DMS Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to DMS Inc. adjusted for the income effects of dilutive instruments by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive elements.
