Want ads like these?
Talk to one of the founders. No selling, no pressure.
Streaming TV
People still watch TV. They just stream it now.
Streaming puts your ad on the biggest screen in the house, in front of people sitting still on the couch. It used to be only for giant brands. Not anymore.
Where your ad can run
We run your media everywhere else too: YouTube, social, search and the rest.
49% of all TV time in America is now streaming1
The problem
Software makes TV ads in minutes. Viewers tune them out in seconds.
The big streaming platforms will make you an ad for free, with software. People can tell. When NielsenIQ tested AI-made ads on 2,000+ viewers, people found them more boring and remembered them less, even the good-looking ones.2
Ours get watched.
Press and hold to stop it. Drag to look around.
How it works
No surprises. See the ads before we shoot.
As fast as 12 weeks, start to finish.

285 million views. It’s where we cut our teeth.
For two and a half years we made LEGO’s weekly show, Rebrickulous. We watched what people actually watched, and made each episode better. Every ad we make still works that way.
285M+ views across the top 100 episodes3
Measurement
Most streaming TV can’t prove it worked. Ours can.
One of our clients quit two big CTV platforms for the same reason: they couldn’t tell what the ads did. With us, you see it. Our proprietary tool tracks what people do after they see your ad, something most streaming TV buyers never get.
Step 1. They see it on TV.
Your ad runs on premium shows from trusted partners.
Step 2. We follow what happens next.
Our tool links views to the searches, social clicks, site visits and sales, on any device.
Step 3. You see what it drove.
Your report shows what the TV ad did for your search, social and sales.

Dan Malgran VP of Marketing, StenoAnswered before you ask.
What’s CTV?
Connected TV: streaming TV watched on a television, in apps like Netflix, Hulu, Roku and Peacock. Some people call it OTT. Your ad plays full screen between shows, usually with the sound on, and most of the time it can’t be skipped.
Where can the ads run?
Anywhere: streaming TV, YouTube, Meta and the rest of social, search, and out-of-home screens like billboards. TV just sets the bar. Everything gets made to that standard, then cut widescreen, vertical and square, so it’s ready for every screen.
What’s the catch?
You run your media with us. It can be spread across any of your marketing channels, not just streaming TV, and paced however works for you. That budget pays for the ads. How much qualifies depends on your company, your stage and what you want the media to do, so talk to us and we’ll tell you straight. Don’t want the media? Buy the ads outright.
What do we get?
The ads. We shoot up to a minute of story and cut it into the ads your campaign needs (15, 30, 45 or 60 seconds), then make variations to test different openings, lines or calls to action. Every one comes widescreen for TV, plus vertical and square for social.
Everything around them. Portraits of every character, stills from the set, and short clips and GIFs of the best moments for email and social.
The plan. Animated storyboards before we shoot, a media plan from Elite Media Group, and more campaign ideas for next time.
How will we know it worked?
Our proprietary tracking tool for streaming TV connects the people who saw your ad to what they did next: the searches, social clicks, site visits and sales that follow, on any device. TV is measured alongside your search and social, not on its own, so you see what it really drove. You get a report every two weeks or every month, and bigger campaigns also get a live dashboard in Orbit, EMG’s reporting platform.
Who runs the media?
Elite Media Group, our media partner: a 70-plus-person agency that plans, buys, measures and tunes the media. We make the ads, they get them seen, and you get one plan with shared data. Their media clients include FIFA, Disney, the NFL and the NCAA.
What if we don’t like the ad?
Then we’re not done. Nothing gets shot until you’ve signed off on the direction, the script and the storyboards. Nobody has ever reached the shoot surprised. Watch a storyboard play next to the finished ad.
Who owns the ads?
You do. The finished ads, and everything we deliver with them, are yours to keep. Actors are licensed for two years, and renewing is easy. Stop the media early, before it has covered the cost of the ads, and you pay the part it hadn’t covered yet.
How long does it take?
As fast as 12 weeks. The biggest lever is your feedback: back within two or three days keeps it near 12. Slower feedback means a longer schedule.
Big ideas are worth a chat.
Talk to one of the founders. No selling, no pressure. If it isn’t a fit, we’ll say so.
