TUBI LAUNCHES FIRST-EVER UK CAMPAIGN “WATCH WHAT YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO WATCH”

New Ads and Creative Aim to Free Audiences from the Pressures of Cultural ‘Must Do’s’ 

LONDON, 15 July 2024 – Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported streaming service, today announced its first brand campaign in the UK to amplify its arrival in the market earlier this month. The campaign titled ‘Watch What You Actually Want to Watch’ includes commercials “Gallery” and “Theatre” and out-of-home (OOH) in London that playfully puts the British viewer at the centre.

The campaign, created in partnership with Tubi’s creative agency of record, Mischief @ No Fixed Address, and supported by VaynerMedia EMEA, empowers Brits not to feel obligated to take part in cultural sophistication or succumb to the fear of missing out. Instead, Tubi seeks to empower viewers to take back ownership of their time.  

Tubi’s ads humorously and gently dig at British traditional culture – specifically going to art galleries and watching Shakespeare – and how for many, this can be an obligatory tick-box experience. In the ads, viewers are literally spoken to and encouraged by the art itself to think about what they’d rather be doing – ultimately, watching Tubi.

“In bringing the brand to the UK with our creative campaign, we wanted to stay true to Tubi’s playful and irreverent voice while also speaking directly to a completely new audience in a captivating way,” said Nicole Parlapiano, Chief Marketing Officer, Tubi. “Our campaign uses playful scenarios to challenge the societal pressures that we all feel when we haven’t seen the latest play, documentary or show; promoting instead, people to spend their time doing what they actually like, guilt free.”

Kevin Mulroy, ECD & Partner at Mischief, said: “Tubi’s won the hearts of people by showing up in a way that no other streaming platform has. It leads with a unique brand-first personality, instead of throwing mass marketing behind individual titles. And it gives viewers permission to stop pretending they want to watch shows about a soap opera aristocracy, or yet another gritty murder mystery.”

VaynerMedia EMEA led 360 media planning and buying for the campaign, featuring tongue in cheek out-of-home placements, with an emphasis on high impact formats including an Oxford Circus underground takeover, Motion@Waterloo station, the iconic Outernet screens as well as a number more across London. In addition, ad placements can also be seen across CTV, Spotify audio and digital and podcast host-reads. The campaign will also live on social media through a number of influencers and across Tubi’s own channels.

Tubi launched with over 20,000 movies and TV episodes on-demand in the UK, featuring curated content from major global distributors such as Disney, Lionsgate, NBCUniversal, and Sony Pictures Entertainment as well as a robust slate of exclusive Tubi Originals. Tubi’s content library in the UK pairs some of the best Hollywood films with modern British classics, and offers series with well-known UK TV franchises alongside new areas of discovery – from Bollywood and Nollywood to Arthouse Cinema. 

The UK launch and new campaign comes as Tubi continues to take the streaming category by storm, amassing nearly 80 million monthly active users. Tubi has established itself as a bold challenger brand in the U.S. where it most recently tied Disney+ in total viewing time according to Nielsen’s The Gauge Report and continues to be the #1 AVOD player.

LONDON, 2 July 2024 – Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported streaming service, today announced its launch in the UK. Tubi has built exciting momentum in North America by engaging viewers with a free, personalised streaming service that offers an extensive library of blockbuster movies, popular TV series, and exclusive Tubi Originals.

“Tubi has spent the last decade honing our approach to vast, free and fun streaming in North America, and we feel that now is the perfect time to bring that recipe to UK audiences,” said Anjali Sud, CEO of Tubi. “We are launching with one of the largest and most diverse content libraries in the UK, designed to indulge viewers in everything from blockbusters to original stories to hidden gems. Most importantly, we’re committed to listening to what resonates with UK fans, and bringing them more and more of what they love.”

Tubi’s content library in the UK pairs some of the best Hollywood films with modern British classics, and offers series with well-known UK TV franchises alongside new areas of discovery – from Bollywood and Nollywood to Arthouse Cinema.

“At a time when traditional programming feels homogenous and when finding what to watch feels like a chore, Tubi has been effective at delivering delight beyond the monoculture with content that appeals to diverse and vibrant fandoms,” said David Salmon, EVP and Managing Director of International at Tubi. “We believe that we can build a brilliantly broad, culturally ambitious offering that puts UK audiences back at the centre, and makes it fun and easy to enjoy great entertainment from around the world.” 

Tubi is purpose-built to help audiences find the content they love. The platform uses sophisticated machine learning to deliver personalised experiences that make content discovery both surprising and delightful.

In the coming weeks, Tubi will be available for UK viewers to access as a free application on every major connected TV platform, iOS and Android smartphones, and on the web.

Tubi has established itself as a bold challenger brand in the U.S. where it most recently tied Disney+ in total viewing time according to Nielsen’s The Gauge Report and continued to be the #1 AVOD player. Tubi will bring its playful personality to the UK with a creative marketing campaign launching on 15 July. The campaign, “Watch what you actually want to watch” aims to combat entertainment snobbery and traditionalism – Tubi believes in taking the guilt out of guilty pleasure viewing.

Tubi is More Popular Than Pickleball, Babies, and Being French

A new campaign compares the size of Tubi’s audience to popular things in the world to put its 75M viewers into perspective

SAN FRANCISCO, May 30th, 2024 – Tubi (www.tubitv.com), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported streaming service, today announced an all-new brand campaign, Tubi is More Popular Than, which includes four short commercials and creative across digital, social and out-of-home in New York City. The campaign shows that Tubi is more popular than many common things like babies, being French, Pickleball, taking a taxi, the best city on Earth, dating apps, dogs small enough to fit into bags and more. 

“Tubi is one of the fastest growing streamers in the US, surpassing many of the more established companies in entertainment, yet advertisers still see us as a challenger brand,” said Nicole Parlapiano, CMO at Tubi. “Numbers don’t mean much without context, so we made the size of our audience feel tangible by comparing our viewership to dozens of common things. From our OOH buys in NYC ahead of Upfronts to our paid social and online banners, this campaign gets the point across – in our irreverent Tubi voice.”

Earlier this year, Tubi unveiled an all new look and feel for the brand, to match the mischievous, exciting and inviting brand voice. Tubi has grown from 75M MAU to 80M MAU as of the 3rd quarter for the 2024 fiscal year and encompasses 1.7% of all television viewing according to Nielsen’s The Gauge. Recently, Tubi announced a new programming slate including THE QB BAD BOY AND ME, THE Z-SUITE and The Purple Carpet on the heels of titles released this year like BOARDERS, BIG MOOD and DEAD HOT. This April, Tubi announced Stubios and the brand will be in a Cabana on the Croisette this summer at the Cannes Lions Festival June 17 – June 21st. 

“The idea for more popular than popular things came from the brief our strategists wrote,” explained Carl Peterson, creative director at Mischief who worked on the idea with partner Eleanor Rask. “They had a line in there about how if Tubi viewers were a country, it would be bigger than France. We thought that was pretty compelling so we just ran with it. Like, babies are common, but when you learn that Tubi is actually way more popular than babies – that felt sticky to us.”

The campaign lives across out of home, connected tv, radio, podcasts, social and banner ads across digital. The four spots include “Divorce,” “Babies,” “Fountains” and “Old Faithful” and are accompanied by static ads that state that Tubi is more popular than a host of many common things. The campaign was co-created by Tubi’s creative agency of record Mischief @ No Fixed Address, while VaynerMedia managed Tubi’s media buys for the campaign.

TUBI SETS NEW ORIGINALS FOR 2024-2025

PURPLE CARPET WITH OLIVIA CULPO 

AT THE SUPER BOWL IN NEW ORLEANS

NEW MOVIE “THE QB BAD BOY & ME” BASED ON WATTPAD YA NOVEL

STARRING SIENA AGUDONG AND NOAH BECK

GENERATIONAL COMEDY “THE Z-SUITE”

STARRING AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY LAUREN GRAHAM 

SAN FRANCISCO, MAY 13, 2024: Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported streaming service, today announced several upcoming projects for the 2024-2025 season. According to the March 2024 Nielsen Gauge, Tubi grew its share of US total view time over 60% since debuting on the list just over a year ago, a faster growth rate than any other streamer. With nearly 80 million monthly active users, over 60% of Tubi viewers are cord cutters and nevers.

“Tubi is committed to culturally relevant storytelling that speaks to the cordless generation,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer at Tubi. “From culture driven pre-game coverage for the Big Game, to a fan favorite movie based on a breakout YA novel, to the amazing Lauren Graham headlining a workplace comedy steeped in generational conflict, Tubi’s ’24-’25 slate is as compelling for our audience as it is desirable for advertisers.”

Tubi’s Purple Carpet will be rolled out for the first time as part of FOX’s Super Bowl Pregame coverage in New Orleans. Renowned model and actress Olivia Culpo will be Tubi’s official correspondent for the Purple Carpet, celebrating the culture surrounding football’s biggest event. By blending the excitement of the Super Bowl with the allure of fashion and celebrity, Olivia’s coverage will offer insights that cater to those drawn to the cultural phenomena of it all.

“I’m so excited to be Tubi’s official correspondent at the Super Bowl,” said Olivia Culpo. “I’ll cover everything happening behind the scenes, the pre-game hype, and, of course, the fashion.”

A Tubi Original movie, THE QB BAD BOY AND ME is based on the breakout Wattpad YA novel, The QB Bad Boy and Me, which has over 31M reads. The movie stars Siena Agudong (Netflix’s “Resident Evil” series), Noah Beck in his feature film debut, and Drew Ray Tanner (“Riverdale”). The film tells the story of Dallas (Agudong), a burdened but headstrong dancer, who is determined to get into the best dance school in the country—her late mother’s alma mater. However, that dream is suddenly derailed when the cheeky yet secretly grieving football star, Drayton (Beck), crashes into her life with a unique story of his own. Will the two of them be able to grow into their dreams together or will their dreams be sidelined? The film is directed by Justin Wu (Syfy’s “Reginald the Vampire,” CBC’s “Kim’s Convenience”) from the screenplay by Mary Gulino (Amazon’s “Upload”) and Crystal Ferreiro (Disney’s “Diary of a Future President”) based on the book by Tay Marley. THE QB BAD BOY AND ME is produced by Adam Wescott, McKenna Marshall, Wattpad WEBTOON Studios’ Aron Levitz, and Lindsey Ramey. David Madden is executive producing for Wattpad WEBTOON Studios, and Lindsay Macadam, David Way and Tony Chung are executive producing for Thunderbird Entertainment’s Great Pacific Media, which will finance and produce the project in Canada. Blue Fox Entertainment will sell the project internationally. The film is slated to premiere within the next year.

“Tay Marley’s novel has been a Wattpad sensation with millions of readers around the world who fell in love with this special coming of age romance,” said Aron Levitz, President of Wattpad WEBTOON Studios. “We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in Tubi to help us adapt this story, and we can’t wait for fans to see just how perfectly Noah and Siena bring the beloved characters of Drayton and Dallas to life.”

As previously announced, Tubi will premiere the generational comedy THE Z-SUITE starring Lauren Graham in 2025. Written by Katie O’Brien (“The Santa Clauses,” “Teachers”) who also serves as showrunner, the series is executive produced by Lance Samuels, Samantha Levine, and Daniel Iron of Blue Ice Pictures (“Ginny & Georgia”), and Eric Wattenberg, Gary Vaynerchuk and Matt Higgins of VaynerWatt. Lauren Graham also serves as an executive producer. THE Z-SUITE is a workplace comedy set at a boutique New York ad agency where generational divides see the established C-Suite and rising Gen Z employees collide. After a company decision spirals out of control, the agency’s reigning executives are pushed out and the Z-Suite employees are suddenly put in charge, ultimately testing both generations’ skills and patience. 

“When I first read the script for THE Z-SUITE I responded to Katie O’Brien’s fresh and funny take on the workplace,” said Lauren Graham. “The character of Monica is smart, strong, and appealingly a bit unhinged. I’m excited to work with the team at Tubi as they ramp up their Originals slate and continue their ascent in the streaming space.”

Since launching Tubi Originals in June 2021, Tubi has produced over 200 titles reaching over 75 million unique viewers. Last month alone, nearly 25% of its viewers watched Tubi Originals, which included the first set of premium programming targeted at young audiences – BOARDERS, BIG MOOD and DEAD HOT. Tubi most recently announced Stubios, the first fan-fueled studio for aspiring filmmakers in partnership with Issa Rae and ColorCreative. Tubi’s upcoming slate of programming reflects culture and is designed for fandom such as MY CRAZY QUINCE, a reality series hosted by comedienne Anjelah Johnson-Reyes featuring generations of women discussing their own quinceañeras; the return of female-led cult favorite WYNONNA EARP with a special event; and the dark western film THE THICKET starring Peter Dinklage and Juliette Lewis.

“When I first read the script for THE Z-SUITE I responded to Katie O’Brien’s fresh and funny take on the workplace,” said Lauren Graham. “The character of Monica is smart, strong, and appealingly a bit unhinged. I’m excited to work with the team at Tubi as they ramp up their Originals slate and continue their ascent in the streaming space.”

“THE Z-SUITE continues Tubi’s trajectory as a home for original stories that pierce through culture,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer at Tubi. “This original series shines a spotlight on the comedic gaps in communication, style and behavior of generations in the workforce, which makes it a very relevant and universal story that we’re excited to tell along with the incredibly talented Lauren Graham, Katie O’Brien and team.”

As the studio behind the series, Tubi maintains global distribution rights.

Tubi Launches Stubios, A Fan Fueled Studio for Aspiring Filmmakers

Stubios Seeks To Bring New Voices and Their Fans Into Hollywood, Providing Mentorship and Production Resources from Issa Rae and ColorCreative 

SAN FRANCISCO, May 7th, 2024 – Tubi (www.tubitv.com), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported streaming service, has launched Stubios, a fan-fueled studio for aspiring filmmakers and their fans. In addition to welcoming creatives from varied backgrounds into Hollywood, Stubios puts the power to greenlight content in the hands of the viewer. This program is an evolution of an expansive content strategy that is built on viewer-driven trends underpinning the need to build new pathways for creatives to find success in Hollywood and for fans to find more stories they can see themselves in. 

Stubios is a program for creatives that enables their fans to have a say in what gets made. Stubiorunners, creatives who are accepted into the program, have the ability to ask fans their opinion on everything from casting to key art and fans follow along throughout the production process. When projects go live, fans can show their support by watching the content and once viewership surpasses a threshold, the Stubio runners will be automatically greenlit for their next project, creating a flywheel of success to build a sustainable career. 

“Tubi is free entertainment for the cordless generation, and we’re committed to a programming strategy that resonates with younger and diverse audiences,” said Anjali Sud, CEO of Tubi. “Tubi has the unique advantage of the world’s largest library of movies and TV series, and the insights we gain from viewers telling us what they want to watch. Stubios is a way to give creatives with invested fanbases an opportunity to tell stories that may not otherwise be greenlit in Hollywood, and it will enable Tubi to ensure our programming reflects culture as it is happening.”

Stubio runners do not need to have any filmmaking experience to bring their stories to life. For this program Tubi is looking for creatives from varied backgrounds with different experience levels. Issa Rae will serve as a mentor drawing on her own experiences transitioning from digital content to long-form entertainment formats. Stubio runners will receive script support, one-on-one mentor calls with Issa and creative production support from ColorCreative. Resulting films and series created from the program will be distributed and promoted on Tubi. Stubio runners will receive an Executive Producer credit and be paid a flat fee for their original IP and the work on the project.

“I am deeply passionate about creating pathways to sustainable careers into Hollywood for creatives of diverse backgrounds,” said Issa Rae, co-founder of ColorCreative. “We at ColorCreative are thrilled to see Tubi taking this important and bold step, and we’re excited to support and guide Stubios creatives on their first long-form projects”

“I am immensely proud to partner with Tubi in launching Stubios, empowering diverse voices in entertainment, said Talitha Watkins, Together, we’re shaping the future of storytelling, fostering inclusivity, and providing mentorship and production support to emerging talent to cultivate a community where creativity thrives.” Tubi is the most watched free TV and movie streaming service in the U.S., and offers advertisers an opportunity to reach unduplicated audiences, as nearly 30% of Tubi viewers are unreachable on other AVODs and 40% are unreachable on other major ad-supported SVODs (source: MRI). Brands and advertisers will be able to engage with these audiences on Stubios through brand partnerships, product integrations and more. Original content is a way to connect with younger audiences who crave new stories. In the most recent edition of The Stream, 74% of Gen Z and Millennials prefer originals to remakes and 74% are interested in seeing diversity and representation when they stream TV and movies. Additionally, 71% agree they’d like to see more TV shows and movies on streaming that are independent or from smaller creators. 

“Stubios is something we have a lot of heart for as younger audiences are asking for more original long-form stories, content from smaller creators and they’ve even told us they want to be able to directly support creators,” said Nicole Parlapiano, CMO of Tubi. “We know advertisers are eager to connect with younger, more diverse audiences, and Stubios provides a unique opportunity to get in front of a group that is typically glued to social media.” 

The first group of creatives who will kick off the program include rapper and songwriter Lady London, who became a viral sensation for her freestyles. As a Stubio runner, Lady London will bring her fans along on a journey as she produces a docuseries that will explore her life and music-making and capture the creation of her debut album. 

Starting today, creatives can apply to be a part of the next cohort of creatives selected for the program. Fans can sign up for an account and get notified when creatives join the program. Sign up for a free Stubios account and apply to the program here.
