New High-Impact Ad Placement Further Expands
Interactive Ad Opportunities on Fubo’s Platform
FuboTV Inc. (d/b/a Fubo) (NYSE: FUBO), the leading sports-first
live TV streaming platform, announced it is further enhancing its
ad inventory with a new proprietary Connected TV (CTV) ad format,
The Triple Play. The next iteration of Fubo’s continued ad
innovation, The Triple Play is a unique opportunity to feature
advertiser-branded video content on the highly-visible home screen
of Fubo's premium CTV platform.
Available in the coming days, The Triple Play will launch
sponsored by a major national retailer’s back-to-school campaign,
providing the brand complete share of voice on Fubo’s home
screen.
The new high-impact ad unit allows advertisers to strategically
position branded content alongside relevant curated programming and
creative assets, maximizing reach and engagement on a large
screen.
Upon opening the Fubo product, subscribers are typically greeted
by our interactive home screen, which will feature The Triple Play
module. The Triple Play display includes a branded banner and a
custom content carousel showcasing curated live and on-demand
programming. It will also display an advertiser’s clickable branded
content video within the curated programming playlist.
The branded video can be outfitted with a QR code for deeper
engagement. Additionally, the advertiser’s rotational mid-roll
spots will appear within all of the on-demand content within the
custom programming playlist. The activation incorporates branded
and themed backgrounds, custom titles, logo entitlements and
content with the goal of creating an immersive brand
experience.
The new ad format reflects Fubo’s continued ad innovation. At
this year’s NewFronts, Fubo unveiled a suite of four new innovative
CTV ad formats that expanded the volume and variety of its ad
inventory with a focus on customization, interactivity and
engagement.
“Traditional 15 and 30 second ad spots have long been staples in
TV advertising but CTV has made it possible to expand standard TV
ad formats to command more attention and engagement,” said Dina
Roman, SVP, global ad sales and operations, Fubo. “By offering
premium bespoke ad opportunities, we are creating even more ways
brands can authentically reach their target audiences. We can’t
wait to debut The Triple Play with our inaugural brand
sponsor.”
