VIZIO Ads today will announce a suite of innovations and advertising capabilities for brands, agencies, and media buyers during its 4th annual IAB NewFront titled, “Limitless.” The session will be the first-of-its-kind in the newly opened Penn 2 events space in Manhattan atop Penn Station, featuring presentations from VIZIO executives, testimonial videos from agency and brand leaders, and the unveiling of new capabilities for VIZIO’s Emmy Award-winning operating system.
Innovations that Make Advertising Experiences Better for Consumers
As a part of “Limitless,” VIZIO executives will showcase new product offerings that put the viewership journey first and provide advertisers with new ways to deliver and measure creative messages. From opportunities using VIZIO’s award-winning Home Screen to leveraging the Branded Content Studio to the introduction of Pause Ads, advertisers will learn of new ways to reach consumers beyond traditional video ad formats. VIZIO Home Screen’s search and discovery advancements will be on display with the launch of Recommends, which offers timely sponsored content suggestions with deep link and interactive capabilities. Buyers can now utilize Pause Ads and immersive animated advertising to break creative barriers and bring messages to life.
“It’s an honor to showcase how VIZIO’s passion for improving the customer experience is creating new opportunities for the industry to think and act differently about advertising,” said Adam Bergman, Group Vice President of Advertising at VIZIO. “Evolving the marketplace takes collaboration with incredible people across the ecosystem, developing products that deliver better results for everyone and solutions that solve problems for viewers and customers alike.”
Home Screen Enhancements
Attendees will get a preview of new interactive features and updates to VIZIO’s operating system and advertising offerings on its home screen. With 19 million monthly active accounts, VIZIO’s ability to engage customers from the moment they turn on the TV provides more than just a mass-reach vehicle for advertisers in a fragmented landscape, and with Recommends, VIZIO is offering solutions to improve the search and discovery process.
Innovations around VIZIO’s immersive home screen are also expanding to new curated interactive experiences with the launch of Always on Newsroom, VIZIO Gaming and the Sports Hub later this year.
