In addition, networks such as TLC and TRVL are providing consumers with the type of escapism they want right now. 

 

Hub content sections also will include an in-depth look at how Discovery’s brands are serving consumers in each passion area with consumer behavior insights across linear, social and digital. It will serve as a branded entertainment resource for clients and will include upcoming sponsorship opportunities, a showcase for multi-platform content, marketing case studies, production information, press releases, ratings highlights and talent information. Additionally, Discovery’s ad sales leadership will provide their takes on consumer trends and insights in an editorial section of the hub.

 

During the quarantine, Discovery has been communicating with clients through weekly emails from Steinlauf, e-blasts, social media and direct virtual client meetings. The Content Hub will expand upon this communication, showcasing Discovery’s ability to innovate through these times of rapid change in the industry.
