Good morning. It’s Thursday, May 29, 2014, and this is your first early morning digital briefing.
Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) and Microsoft co-founder Paul G. Allen are producing a short film series about the U.S. economy. The show will include 20 three to five-minute videos to be distributed this fall online and across VOD and mobile platforms. Twilight‘s Catherine Hardwicke, The Hunger Game‘s Gary Ross, A Beautiful Mind‘s Akiva Goldsman and more will direct and write some of the films.
Video services company Vubiquity acquired Sony and Disney‘s U.K. video-on-demand service Film Flex. The VOD provider offers more than 500 films on Virgin Media platforms and Channel 4‘s Film4. "Increasing our market position in the U.K. is important to Vubiquity, so adding FilmFlex’s Movies’ content rights, programming and distribution relationships is a natural fit," Vubiquity’s President Doug Sylvester told Cynopsis. "And FilmFlex’s digital storefront is a valuable extension to our AnyVU Cloud platform."
Netflix has found the star for its upcoming Daredevil series. Former Boardwalk Empire actor Charlie Cox will play the Marvel superhero at the center of the 13-episode drama directed by Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘s Steven S. Deknight. It will be released in 2015.

FreeWheel, YuMe & HIRO MEDIADigital ad tech company Magnetic acquired Cognitive Match yesterday. The deal will combine Magnetic’s search data with Cognitive’s Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO). "Magnetic is one of the largest aggregators of intent data, and the addition of Cognitive Match means marketers can now build an ad in real time by assembling thousands of individual elements based on product feeds, keywords, audience intent, or just the weather or location," Magnetic’s CEO James Green said.
YuMe and digital video player JW Player are collaborating to provide publishers better digital video monetization. YuMe’s Audience-Aware SDK will integrate with the JW platform for publishers to include in-stream audience surveys and collect audience insights.
With just two weeks until the FIFA World Cup kicks off in Brazil, Unruly released the top related ads that scored the most shares online. With The Brazilliant Brands Tracker, Unruly featured 11 brands to represent the number of players on a team, and found brands not affiliated with the sporting event drove (54 percent) of the total 2.4 million shares. The top player was non-sponsor Nike, with 1.27 million shares and three of the top most-shared 2014 soccer ads so far at a share rate of 1.5 percent. However, Castrol is the most shared World Cup sponsor so far, with 962,206 shares through the ad Footkhana. Those in the top 11 by most shared soccer ads are as follows: Nike, Samsung, Castrol, Coca-Cola, Emirates, ESPN, Adidas, Powerade, Visa, FIFA and Cerveza Cristal. "The top trending ads show advertisers making use of exhilaration, shared passion, zeitgeist and reaction-seeking to drive sharing," Unruly VP of Marketing and Insight, U.S. Devra Prywes told Cynopsis. "One finding that surprised us is that non-sponsors are actually generating more shares than official World Cup sponsors, with Nike in the lead from its Winner Stays ad earning over a million shares. We’ll see if another brand can knock Nike out of its top spot before the World Cup finals."
