Advertising Suite Phase 1Broadcasters’ on-air and digital ad sales force sells Megaphone to Advertisers

Hey Advertiser, would you like to buy a big package of ad time and Megaphone?

Thanks Megaphone,here’s your check!

Advertising Suite Phase 2

Broadcasters Advertiser

Megaphone sells directly to advertisers and rev-share back to broadcasters

Megaphone

Hey Broadcaster, do you want Megaphone to add interactivity to ALL your 30s inventory without you having to do anything, and give you a check when we’re done?

Great. We will sell inventory in the controller on all our partner networks as a package to agencies for all of their clients at once, and give you a rev share based on how frequently you show those ads, and how many people interact.

We will keep 30% of this revenue, and split 70% across all our broadcaster partners.

This is a product that needs to be sold in bulk, so Megaphone will package and sell it to agencies (as one network is too small for them to buy against).

This doesn’t compete with anything your existing on-air or digital ad sales teams currently sell, since it is a brand new type of ad unit.

Hey Advertiser, do you want to add internet-style actionable interactivity to all of your existing 30s TV ad buys for all of your client brands across all Megaphone-enabled networks?

Great. You can do that for your entire client base with a single buy from Megaphone. Megaphone will handle trafficking the ad, and report it’s actions and effectiveness per client, per campaign, and per network.
