IN THE NEWS

At Wednesday’s One24 event, NBCUniversal unveiled new tech and data capabilities including audience segments powered be generative AI; shoppable innovations like Virtual Concessions; One Platform Total Measurement, a new framework that supports the company’s cross-platform planning and activation technology, One Platform Total Audience; and new partnerships with VideoAmp, EDO, and Kochava. “Television today is a full-funnel performance vehicle where marketers can launch, build and grow their brands across any screen at scale,” said Mark Marshall, Chairman, Global Advertising & Partnerships, NBCUniversal. “At One24, we’re continuing to drive our legacy of innovation, moving consumers from aspiration to action and partnering with marketers of all sizes to use technology to move their businesses forward.”

In an expansion of the Disney Real-Time Ad Exchange, Disney has created a direct path to advertiser demand with Google’s Display & Video 360 and The Trade Desk, unifying access to streaming inventory across Hulu and Disney+. “Disney’s goal is to empower advertisers to transact with the freedom and flexibility that best suits their business needs,” said Jamie Power, SVP, Addressable Sales, Disney Advertising. “Years ago, we committed to a vision and strategy of delivering 50% of our advertising in an addressable and automated way. Owning our own technology stack allows us to build a direct path between our premium inventory and the leading media buying platforms in the industry, simplifying the way ads are bought and sold on Disney, while delivering greater effectiveness for our clients.”

Apollo Global has made an $11 billion offer for Paramount Global’s film and TV studio business, according to The Wall Street Journal. Paramount is also considering an offer from Skydance Media to merge with Paramount, a deal that would include its TV networks.

Comscore has gained accreditation by the Media Rating Council for the Total Household Rating and Average Audience estimates in its national and local TV time-based grid reports, the first time a TV measurement provider has been accredited in all 210 measured local markets based on device tuning measurement. “Comscore is to be commended for the significant effort they have made over a number of years to put enhancements and upgrades into place in response to our feedback,” said George Ivie, Executive Director and CEO of MRC, adding that the distinction “will benefit the industry as a whole.”

That’s a thought echoed by measurement rival Nielsen. “Congratulations to Comscore, Inc. on receiving MRC accreditation for their total household rating and average audience estimates in national and local TV time-based grid reports,” posted Nielsen Nielsen CEO Karthik Rao on LinkedIn. “The more accredited data there is in the marketplace the better it is for everyone – buyers, sellers, viewers and all of us devoted to the science of audience measurement.”

Advertising collective ARS Advertising has completed the acquisition of Manifest, a content experience agency. Manifest will continue to operate independently under its existing brand. “Harnessing the power of both scale and range will fuel creativity while driving efficiencies across the two companies,” said Melissa Bouma, CEO of Manifest. “Manifest will remain fiercely independent and proud of our unique expertise– yet we’re not afraid to tap into the collective for the betterment of the work.”

PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT

Hallmark has renewed “The Way Home” for season three. The family drama starring Andie MacDowell will launch its third run in 2025.

Also scoring a season three order is Paramount+ medical drama “Skymed.” Production begins next week in Manitoba and Ontario, with Aaron Ashmore upped to season regular.

Season three of Netflix’s “Heartstopper” has a premiere window: October. The streamer posted that info online, along with this tidbit: “As the summer holiday ends and the months race on, the friends begin to realize that the school year will come with both its joys and its challenges.”

David Schulner, creator of NBC medical drama “New Amsterdam” (2018-23), is developing a spin-off set 30 years after the original. The show would center on Dr. Max Godwin’s daughter, Luna.

David Schwimmer will star in the second season of Disney+ anthology series “Goosebumps,” based on the R.L. Stine books. The “Friends” alum will play a divorced dad overseeing the care of aging parents while having his twin teenagers for the summer.

NEW & RETURNING SERIES

Natural history series “Predator v Prey” debuts Saturday, April 20 at 8p on BBC America and AMC+. Narrated by actor Howard Charles (“Whitstable”), the series offers a forensic look at the hunts of predators.

HGTV’s “The Ugliest Homes in America” returns for season five on Monday, April 22 at 9p. The renovation series’ last run attracted over 8.3 million viewers eager to see horrendous houses.

“The Synanon Fix” kicks off Monday, April 1 at 9p on HBO. The four-part docuseries explores the rise and fall of the treatment center Synanon, which grew from a groundbreaking drug rehabilitation program in the late 1950s into a controversial, to put it mildly, communal living experiment.

Part two of FX’s “AHS Delicate” launches Wednesday, April 3 at 10p. The horror drama stars Emma Roberts and Kim Kardashian.

COMING UP

Documentary “Blue Carbon: Nature’s Hidden Power” premieres Sunday, April 21 at 9p on CNN. The film combines the languages of music and science for a call to action to protect the planet.

STREAMING

Advertisers leveraging big screens are seeing interactive CTV campaigns achieve engagement rates 4.6x higher than mobile video and 10.3x higher than desktop video, according to Innovid’s “The CTV Advertising Report 2024: Your Data-Driven Source for CTV Performance Trends.” Key findings include:
· CTV accounted for 53% of video impressions – up 12% compared to the year prior. The average CTV campaign reach in 2023 more than doubled compared to two years prior.
· The average frequency delivered has increased from 4.08 to 7.40 over the past two years.
· Audiences expect relevant, 1:1 content, even with ad experiences. Interactive ads had an average of 92 additional seconds of time earned vs. standard pre-roll video. Dynamic ads, those personalized to the viewer, generated more than 38 seconds of additional time earned.

“Advertisers are realizing the true power behind the measurable, impactful, and innovative ad experiences that only CTV can provide,” said Dani Cushion, CMO, Innovid. “As TV rapidly shifts to a 100% digital future, the time is now for advertisers to optimize every aspect of their campaigns for streaming.”

Streaming’s share of viewing time has increased from 49.3% to 57.5% in Q4 since 2021, while cable/satellite has fallen from 41.5% to 33.8%, according to Inscape’s Q4 2023 TV Market Trends report. Of note: Smart TV app usage has leveled off over the last nine months, landing at around 5.5 native apps used per device. Inscape notes that this is “perhaps a sign to the market that consumers have had their fill and are simply fatigued by an endless array of subscriptions and authentications to navigate.”

TECH TALK

The government of Saudi Arabia plans to create a $40 billion fund to invest in artificial intelligence, according to The New York Times, which reports representatives of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund have discussed a potential partnership with Andreessen Horowitz, a Silicon Valley venture capital firm, along with other financiers. A fund of that magnitude would make Saudi Arabia the world’s largest investor in AI.

Companies that invest in AI tools have seen an average increase in revenue of 24%, according to data from Keen Decision Systems. “While AI continues to be a buzzword for many industries, its application is actually having positive business impacts for marketers,” said Greg Dolan, CEO of Keen Decision Systems. “AI can significantly improve forecasting and measurement for marketers, leading to increases in revenue and ROI. Future-forward marketers should invest in AI and machine learning to improve their business outcomes and stand apart from their competitors.”

RETAIL MEDIA

US retail media spending will grow 30% in 2024, largely driven by offsite programmatic retail media platforms, according to a US ad spend forecast from Advertiser Perceptions, which forecasts over $20 billion in spending in offsite programmatic retail media advertising next year. In 2025, retail media ad spending is expected to pass $81.6 billion, representing 23.5% of all digital advertising in the US. “Brands have been pouring money into retail media over the past few years,” said Eric Haggstrom, Director of Business Intelligence and Head of Forecasting for Advertiser Perceptions. “While we expect this trend to continue, retail media will evolve significantly in the coming years. As ad auctions on retailers’ own properties become saturated, brands will look to utilize retailers’ data to power their buys outside of retailers’ digital walls. Media and ad tech companies need to form relationships with retail media platforms or risk missing out on one of the few large and quickly growing segments of the digital advertising market.”

Google recently launched a closed beta in Search Ads 360 for offsite retail media campaigns, enabling advertisers to improve performance by combining unique retailer audiences with Google AI and scale across channels. In SA360, Google says it has created a privacy-centric way for participating retailers to enable brands to use their first-party data to fuel AI-powered Performance Max campaigns. Over the coming months, the company will test features that allow for self-service campaign management for brands. An early beta partner is Lowe’s, which is launching its first offsite retail media offering on Google Search and Shopping inventory, using a managed service model and partnering with SA360 on the journey toward self-service options for their brand partners in the future. “In SA360’s self-service model, brands will be able to measure success of their campaigns with accurate, closed-loop reporting at the brand, campaign or stock-keeping unit (SKU) level,” said Product Manager Ewan Fisher in a blog post. “Closed-loop reporting enables brands to directly tie ad spend to sales at the individual product level and make changes to maximize profit. For example, a brand may choose to promote certain SKUs in a separate campaign or a brand may choose to adjust return on ad spend (ROAS) targets for a set of SKUs. When brands can optimize campaigns to drive higher performance and demonstrate efficient media spend, they can also choose to increase their investments in high-performing channels.”

Epsilon announced the launch of the next generation of its retail media platform. Epsilon Retail Media applies AI and person-first identity in the ad server. “Epsilon enables Ahold Delhaize USA brands to offer a cutting-edge, differentiated platform to advertisers that allows them to better engage shoppers wherever they may be,” said Bobby Watts, SVP, Executive Lead AD Retail Media at Peapod Digital Labs. “The retail media landscape is getting more crowded by the day, and advertisers are demanding impactful solutions. Epsilon Retail Media helps us deliver just that, enabling advertisers to engage shoppers in ways not before possible, driving more sales while building brand loyalty.”

SPORTS ROUNDUP

The NIL deal gender gap drastically closed year-over-year, according to SponsorUnited’s NIL Marketing 2023-24 report, with women athletes holding 52% of the name/image/likeness deals. Additional findings include:
· Former Southern Methodist University volleyball standout Alex Glover set a new standard in the collegiate sports landscape by securing 41 NIL deals in the past 12 months, the highest number recorded for a female college athlete.
· Women’s volleyball scores the highest percent increase in brand deals, largely due to Glover’s volume of brand partnerships, as well as the sport’s popularity and a strong grassroots participation.
· Brands ramped up activations, reflecting the increasing transition from traditional investments in professional sports. As of this year, 35% of brands now exclusively target NIL athletes.
· Hey Dude Shoes has emerged as the top player with deals across 78 athletes, followed by CVS Pharmacy (55 deals), adidas (54), Raising Cane’s (46) and Powerade (40).

Among the innovations NBCU shared yesterday were some features on Peacock that should enhance the streaming experience for the Olympics in July. Multiview enables subscribers to view up to four matches at once, and an interactive “Live Actions” button helps viewers navigate the over 5,000 hours of live coverage.

The roster announcers for Fox Sports’ 29th season of Major League Baseball includes Joe Davis, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal, who will open the season with the New York Yankees facing off against the Houston Astros on Saturday, March 30 at 7p on Fox. Among this season’s highlights, the lead crew will call the match-up between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees on Saturday. Former St. Louis Cardinals ace Adam “Waino” Wainwright makes his debut as a regular season game analyst on Saturday, May 4, during “Baseball Night in America” alongside Adam Amin. The pair reunite with analyst A.J. Pierzynski and Verducci across the pond for the 2024 MLB World Tour: London Series on Saturday, June 8.

NESN is kicking off a celebration today, the 40th anniversary of the first live game broadcast on NESN, with the Bruins and Red Sox live game telecasts. The Bruins game against the Rangers will feature dedicated NESN 40th Anniversary coverage during the pre and postgame shows on NESN. During the Red Sox Spring Training matchup against the Orioles, there will be footage from NESN’s first broadcasted Spring Training game on March 21, 1984 integrated into the telecast, which will air on NESN+.

GOING GLOBAL

Banijay announced “Someone Killed Spiderman – Accidentally Famous” (w/t), a new co-production between Sky Studios and Groenlandia, globally distributed by Banijay Rights. Inspired by the story of how Italian pop band 883 was formed, and named after their debut album, the eight part series is created, written, and directed by Groenlandia’s Sydney Sibilia.

Boat Rocker has partnered with Ireland’s Deadpan Pictures to produce “Video Nasty,” a scripted comedy-drama series for BBC Northern Ireland, BBC Three and iPlayer, Virgin Media Television (Ireland), and WDR (Germany). The series is produced with Screen Ireland/ Fis Eireann. Boat Rocker will distribute the series globally.
