CREATOR TV EXPANDS STUDIO TO PARTNER WITH CREATORS ON TV COMMERCIALS
Sabio Holdings Inc. has launched Creator Ad Spot, a new format under its Creator TV suite that reimagines the 30-second TV commercial for the creator era. Each Creator Ad Spot includes a companion social post from the creator, extending one brand message across CTV (connected TV) and social through a single partner. For brands, it pairs the reach of traditional TV advertising with the creator-driven authenticity that delivers genuine audience engagement. For creators, it unlocks a premium new category of brand deals.
The launch marks an expansion of Creator TV's in-house studio capabilities, giving brands a new way to reach streaming audiences through partnering with creators to write, produce and perform in the ads. Each spot is paired with Sabio's advanced CTV audience-targeting technology, giving brands a more authentic ad and the targeting data to know it is reaching the right audiences.
"This is what the Creator Ad Spot was built for," said Charlie Ibarra, co-founder and head of content at Creator TV. "Creators aren't just faces in front of a camera. They become creative partners, helping develop, produce and star in the work, which brings a level of authenticity audiences crave. And because it's powered by Sabio's advanced CTV audience-targeting technology, we know the right audiences are seeing it."
Creator Ad Spot is powered by Sabio's App Science behavioural intelligence engine, which maps behaviours and viewing patterns across more than 80 million households to enable precise audience targeting and real-time campaign measurement. Creator TV now reaches 88 million households across Vizio Watchfree+, TCL tv+, Xumo Play, Sling Freestream, Amazon Fire TV Channels, Plex and Anoki's LiveTVx.
