NFL Spoofs Scripted Rumors In Star-Studded Kickoff Campaign |
|
“You Can’t Make This Stuff Up” is inspired by pop-culture speculation about the league and whether or not its big moments are planned.
The DL: We are now in the dog days of summer! School is back in session, pumpkin spice is back in stores, and the NFL regular season is less than a week away. Recently, the NFL has faced speculation that the league is scripted. This year they are embracing that with the “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up” campaign, which is set to run throughout the NFL season. The league is listening, and even running with the crazy idea to build interest in the current season. Let’s be honest, the NFL doesn’t need to generate much interest in the league, but this is a fun way to get fans interested and to have a good laugh along the way.

Drone-Based OOH Cleared For Takeoff In Miami |
|
Advertisers should soon have a new out-of-home option.
The DL: A new out-of-home option is on the horizon. A Miami-based aerial advertising company, Sustainable Skylines, is awaiting secondary approval for flying a drone banner over the beach. Not only would this be great for sustainability, but it also offers performance and accountability for advertisers as it requires less fuel, it's quieter, and it eliminates the possibility of pilot injuries. It also offers flexibility and the ability to run more ads, which would enable lower costs to the advertiser. They are also promising better measurement and accountability via onboard sensors, camera footage, and third-party mobile data to enable accurate estimates of the crowds on the ground. They also envisioned using predictive analytics for dynamic pricing, charging based on how many people are likely to see the advertising during a specific time and place. They are planning to pursue more funding and eventually expand to other locations.

YouTube Is Redesigning The Streaming Experience For Viewers And Advertisers |
|
Built from real-time feedback from thousands of viewers in dozens of markets, these experiments mark another chapter in the streaming revolution.
The DL: YouTube has become a premier viewing platform for smart TVs with YouTube TV. A recent Kantar study showed that over half of the respondents said that YouTube TV is the first app they go to after turning their television on. Because of this data, YouTube is building up its platform to be more modern and bring a stronger streaming experience for viewers and advertisers. Speaking from personal experience, the platform is easy to navigate and integrates well with standard Roku Smart TVs. The ads themselves, to YouTube’s credit, don’t feel as invasive as they do on the standard YouTube app, more akin to traditional television advertising but shorter and less frequent. As an advertiser, the platform is a great place to run CTV, Pre-roll, & standard video ads as it boasts strong impression metrics and engagement.
With the NFL returning, it’s a great time to start running ads. YouTube TV is one of the few platforms outside of traditional cable that hosts NFL Sunday Ticket & NFL Redzone. With YouTube’s ongoing commitment to building the platform up for both viewers and advertisers, now is the time to get involved.
