TORONTO, July 13, 2018 /CNW/ - Bell Media announced today the introduction of its commercial SuperPods. These 30-second original creatives are exclusively designed and placed to align with the narrative of the programs in which they appear. Featuring one advertiser per break, the custom creative offers a more seamless and engaging experience between the commercial content and program.
"Advertisers have been challenging the industry to build exclusive and engaging content for their brands and audiences," said Darryl Coburn, Vice-President, National Television Sales, Bell Media. "The Bell Media SuperPod delivers a unique opportunity for clients to extend their brand's messaging beyond the typical commercial break while offering viewers continuous engagement with their program. We're looking forward to rolling out this experience with more clients in the near future."
Bell Media's first SuperPod launched in partnership with Chevrolet during the premiere of THE AMAZING RACE CANADA: HEROES EDITION. The co-branded commercial creatives promoting Chevrolet's Twitter contest, #TheChevroletRace, were produced in-house by the Bell Media Agency and will appear during numerous episodes of THE AMAZING RACE CANADA: HEROES EDITION. The hit summer series continues Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/ 9 p.m. MT on CTV.
This partnership provides Chevrolet, a partner with the series for all six seasons, the opportunity to leverage this unique single commercial break to promote its Twitter contest. The contest will see one lucky winner take home the All-New Chevrolet Traverse, the same vehicle the winners of THE AMAZING RACE CANADA: HEROES EDITION will win, by answering questions about this season.
