Find Your Next Obsession with Tubi’s New GPT-4 Powered Content Discovery Feature

Tubi’s New Beta Feature, Rabbit AI, Offers Viewers a New Way to Discover Content

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, September 26, 2023 – Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported video-on-demand service, has announced Rabbit AI, a first-of-its-kind mobile feature powered by ChatGPT-4 that offers viewers a new way to navigate the platform and discover movies and TV shows. With the world’s largest content library, Tubi offers viewers the opportunity to go deep on their obsessions and Rabbit AI will help people get more of the content they want.

Rabbit AI allows viewers to go beyond simple keyword searches and ask questions the same way you’d ask a friend. To resolve a debate over what to watch, input “shark movies that are funny” into Rabbit AI and receive a list of relevant titles. Or if you’ve recently stumbled upon an obsession with Anime, a question may look like “find me Anime that features shonen friendships.” Viewers can save the results onto My List, allowing them to easily find their newly discovered content across all their devices. Search history will be saved within the feature so viewers can return to past results easily.

“One in five streamers binge watch because it’s convenient or easier than searching for another show as time spent looking is usually a mix of scrolling, maybe bickering over whether to watch a comedy or a horror movie,” said Blake Bassett, Senior Director of Product at Tubi. “At Tubi we’re uniquely situated to find content for viewers that’s specific to the moment they’re in because of our large library and our personalization and machine learning algorithms. With Rabbit AI we’re making the content discovery experience fun again.”

This new feature builds upon Tubi’s current suite of content discovery tools that create a seamless experience for those who watch a wide variety of genres and subgenres. Tubi’s platform learns what you like through a series of viewer-driven signals, including saving content to My List, liking or disliking titles or watching TV shows or movies. Tubi uses those signals to craft a home screen that is uniquely yours, adapting to your preferences and recommending a selection of content inspired by your interests. Over time, containers available on the home screen will populate with more personalized recommendations, like having Hitchcock movies added to your Thriller container after an evening of watching classic films.

The power of ChatGPT-4 and Tubi’s deep library of over 200,000 movies and TV episodes leads to results that unearth unique titles from the catalog, providing hyper-personalized recommendations based on the contextual meaning of the terms. When content surfaced by Rabbit AI is saved onto My List or watched, Tubi’s home screen will surface similar content onto viewers’ home screens.

Rabbit AI will begin rolling out as a beta test to Tubi’s iOS mobile app for viewers across the U.S. starting today, becoming widely available in the coming weeks. The Rabbit AI plugin for ChatGPT will be available soon on OpenAI for subscribers.

TUBI DEBUTS ALL-NEW FALL BRAND CAMPAIGN AS THE THINGS YOU LOVE ON TUBI ‘JUST KEEP GOING’

SAN FRANCISCO; September 14, 2023 – Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported video-on-demand service, today announced the debut of an all-new brand campaign, Just Keep Going, which includes four short commercials, out-of-home in New York City and spots geared towards die-hard football fans. The campaign, co-created by Tubi’s creative agency of record Mischief @ No Fixed Address, highlights that the things you love on Tubi…just keep going, no matter how strange or specific, from romcoms featuring heartthrob lifeguards and musicals with prolonged dance scenes, to crime dramas with conspicuous boats and sitcoms where the quirky neighbor gets the laugh.

“There is no shortage of content available these days and many people are overwhelmed with choice but what’s unique about Tubi is you can continue to watch the obscure things you love without ever getting that empty feeling like you’ve reached the end of your favorite series,” said Nicole Parlapiano, Chief Marketing Officer, Tubi. “This campaign is an homage to and celebration of our passionate viewers and their individual tastes, and with it, we are aiming to meet them where they are in a contextually relevant way whether it be watching their favorite football team on Sunday or riding the subway in New York City.”

Each film in the campaign spotlights different genres on Tubi with an element that seemingly never ends and culminates with Tubi’s call to action for viewers to “find their rabbit hole.” The out-of-home placements across New York City illustrate genres on Tubi, from British murder mysteries to cult classics, with a visual style that also just keeps going. The campaign will live on social media through Tubi’s mischievous and unexpected real-time and reactive social approach via GIFs, clips and more, as well as through a user generated content (UGC) platform with popular creators tailoring their personal brands to showcase how Tubi’s library just keeps going and going, and what that means to them. 

Carl Peterson, creative director at Mischief, said, “In our first big consumer campaign post Super Bowl, we wanted to show that Tubi doesn’t just scratch the surface of different genres and subgenres, but that you can actually go really deep on them. Like, if you’re really into crime dramas about narcos, Tubi has days worth instead of just a few hours worth. This led us to the idea that on Tubi, the things you love just keep going and going and going. And going. We’re really excited we’re able to extend the award-winning Rabbit Holes campaign in a way that continues to speak to both a product and human truth in an unignorable and fun way.”

Tubi has also created a series of over a dozen ads targeted towards football fans for the 2023 season which will run nationally and in local markets. Building off of its ‘Interface Interruption’ Super Bowl promo, these ads open on announcers discussing several teams including the “Cowboys,” “Bears,” and “Jets,” only to reveal clips of cowboys in a western film, bears in a nature documentary, fighter pilots in an action movie and more. 

Tubi is the No. 1 AVOD player in the U.S. reaching 1.4% of total TV viewing time according to Nielsen with viewers watching as much as a top 5 cable network. Viewers enjoy free content with a low ad load and clutter-free experience, while advertisers can access the latest advancements in tools for planning, buying and measuring performance across platforms and streaming investments.

TUBI WINS FIVE CANNES LIONS AWARDS FOR ITS

‘INTERFACE INTERRUPTION’ SUPER BOWL SPOT 

Awards Include Gold for “Use of Screens,” Silver in Two “Challenger Brand” Categories, and Bronze for “Use of Broadcast” and “Social Behavior & Cultural Insight”

CANNES, France; June 23, 2023 – Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported video-on-demand service, today announced that it took home five awards at the 2023 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity for its ‘Interface Interruption’ Super Bowl spot, which was created in conjunction with its creative agency-of-record, Mischief @ No Fixed Address. Tubi was awarded Gold for “Use of Screens” in the Media category, which recognizes work that unleashes media opportunities beyond existing formats to effectively communicate a brand’s message. 

Nicole Parlapiano, Chief Marketing Officer of Tubi, said: “While we debuted Tubi’s quirky personality through an emotional narrative in our ‘Rabbit Hole’ ad, ‘Interface Interruption’ was a subversive media play designed to show you the product in a fun way. The two spots complemented each other really well. We are so proud of the Mischief and Tubi teams for this accomplishment. In addition to the absolute honor of winning us Cannes Lions, ‘Interface Interruption’ spurred a serendipitous collective experience that people continue to talk about.” 

Tubi’s ‘Interface Interruption’ spot, which launched at the Super Bowl in January 2023, was a synergistic 15-second promo created in collaboration with FOX Sports. In the promo, which aired during the fourth quarter of the game, FOX Sports announcers, Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen, came back to the game when it suddenly appeared that screens were taken over with someone scrolling through Tubi’s library searching for something to watch on its platform. As viewers were tricked into thinking someone sat on their remote, the ad instantly became one of the most talked-about moments of the Super Bowl – with Tubi trending #4 on Twitter and the free streamer notching a 40% lift in new visitors for 24 hours following the game. 

Tubi, the largest and fastest growing free ad supported TV streaming service in the US., also took home Silver “Challenger Brand” Awards in both the Entertainment and Media categories, a Bronze “Social Behavior & Cultural Insight” Award in the Entertainment Sport Category, and Bronze for “Use of Broadcast” in the Direct Category. 

Greg Hahn, Co-Founder and CCO at Mischief @ No Fixed Address, said: “Tubi and Mischief have a lot in common. We constantly search for ways to punch above our weight and subvert the norms. Our relationship has allowed us to build instant trust and execute quickly. We’re so proud that the mischief we caused during the Super Bowl resonated with the judges this year at Cannes.”

Celebrating creative work for 70 years, The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity is considered the world’s most prestigious advertising and creativity showcase and provides the definitive benchmark for creativity that drives progress, globally. While on the ground in Cannes, Tubi launched a B2B marketing effort specifically for the creative ad community. The campaign featured nine different posters for fictitious films with titles that rang all-too-true for festival-goers, from The Idea Someone Else Did to Creative Déjà Vu. Tubi also hosted an activation on the ground at the heart of the festival, where sketch artists created custom drawings placing attendees in their own satirical Cannes posters.

TUBI HEADS TO CANNES LIONS WITH A TONGUE-IN-CHEEK CAMPAIGN CREATED FOR FESTIVAL-GOERS

Marketing Campaign Features Satirical Film Posters Created for the Cannes Lion Audience Alongside an In-Person Activation for Attendees 

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16, 2023 – Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported video-on-demand service, today teased its latest B2B marketing campaign which will debut at the Cannes Lions Festival. Created specifically for the creative ad community, the campaign will feature nine different posters for fictitious films with titles that will ring all-too-true for festival-goers, from The Idea Someone Else Did to Creative Déjà Vu, and an activation on the ground at the festival. 

“On the heels of our latest Upfront-timed trade campaign, featuring short films geared towards the advertising community, we wanted to create content specifically for Cannes attendees,  highlighting the sometimes irreverent experiences we all share at the festival,” said Cynthia Clevenger, Vice President, B2B Marketing, Tubi. “Tubi is the fastest-growing free ad-supported TV streaming service in the U.S. because of our foundation in ad tech and our massive hyper-personalized library, which has something for everyone. We hear from our users all the time that they ‘feel seen,’ and we hope to exude that same sentiment to the ad community heading to France this month.” 

Alongside the out-of-home placements featuring additional mock film titles, including Posing With a Lion, Unattended Panel, and Business as Usual, Tubi will host an activation, located on the Parvis, where sketch artists will create custom drawings placing attendees in their own satirical Cannes posters. Those who stop by can score physical copies of the campaign film posters and giveaways from the streamer.

Tubi worked with Mischief @ No Fixed Address, its agency of record and the team behind its Super Bowl spots and latest campaign The Call to Action: A Film Series for Marketers, to bring the work to life. 

João Viégas, ACD at Mischief, said: “With a content library more than 50,000 titles-strong, there’s something for everyone on Tubi—even ad people. And, given that Tubi relies on advertisers as part of its model, it felt only natural that we turn up at advertisers’ biggest festival of the year. Inspiration for the campaign was extremely easy to find, given, well, we are the target audience. It was also somewhat therapeutic. And a wakeup call that I should stop bragging about awards for work I barely worked on.”

Cannes attendees can find Tubi’s Chief Marketing Officer, Nicole Parlapiano, speaking on a number of panels throughout the week, including “Making Sense of the Inputs” at the T-Mobile Cabana and “Stacking the Marketer’s Toolbox for Success” during Adweek Abroad in Cannes on Monday, as well as a panel on the Super Bowl with Mischief @ No Fixed Address and Ad Age at the Infillion Garden on Wednesday. Melanie Brown, Tubi’s Director of Advanced TV, will also be speaking on a panel, “FAST and Streaming Services: A New TV Landscape,” at the Beet.TV Villa on Wednesday. If you would like to meet up with Tubi while on the ground in Cannes, feel free to schedule a meeting.

JUST IN TIME FOR UPFRONTS SEASON, TUBI DEBUTS
THREE NEW FILMS CREATED FOR MARKETERS 

Dubbed The Call to Action: A Film Series for Marketers, Tubi’s Latest Creative Marketing Campaign Features Three Short Films, “The Gen Z Next Door,” “Under the Impression,” and “Request for Proposal” That All Shine a Satirical Light on the Inner Workings of the Ad World 

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1, 2023 – Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported video-on-demand service, today unveiled a new ad campaign whose target audience is, ironically, attendees of industry events like the Upfronts. Dubbed The Call to Action: A Film Series for Marketers, the campaign includes three satirical 5-minute long films that span genres from romance to true crime and feature storylines that blur both the personal and professional lives of media buyers, account teams and creatives alike. Tubi worked with Mischief @ No Fixed Address, its agency of record and the team behind its Super Bowl spots, to bring the campaign to life. 

“The Upfront season is one of the most intense times of the year for buyers, so we wanted to offer them a bit of fun and levity with these hyper relevant short films,” said Cynthia Clevenger, Vice President, B2B Marketing, Tubi. “We have the world’s largest free streaming library that has attracted over 64 million monthly active users because of our ability to offer a personalized experience for each and every one of them. We hear from our audience all the time that we make them feel seen, which is the feeling we wanted to bring to the ad community through  this campaign.”  

Hunter Fine, Creative Director at Mischief, said: “It’s kinda like Inception. We created a highly-targeted ad campaign to people who buy and place highly-targeted ad campaigns. B2B marketing can rely heavily on touting the latest ad tech features or metrics. But we took a different approach, aiming to entertain with these provocative short films. It’s true to Tubi’s unconventional style—which you’ll know all about if you saw the mischief they made at this year’s Super Bowl.”

The short films, which will live on Tubi’s platform and on YouTube, include:

• The Gen Z Next Door (Mystery) – Tasked with researching the Gen Z audience persona, Anna, a media strategist, takes a step into the unknown as she tries to understand her younger neighbor.
• Under the Impression (True Crime) – A mild-mannered media buyer is put in the hot seat and interrogated by his higher ups when the wrong creative is trafficked.
• Request for Proposal (Romantic Comedy) – A media buyer and her graphic designer best friend come up with an ad campaign targeting her boyfriend in hopes it will convince him to propose.

As part of the campaign, the short films will be promoted across social channels and OOH placements in key ad markets.  

Tubi accounted for 1% of total TV consumption in March, making it the most-watched FAST (free ad-supported television) service in the U.S., according to Nielsen’s The Gauge Total TV and Streaming Snapshot. Tubi delivers net-new audiences for advertisers, with 25% of Tubi streamers unreachable on other major ad-supported streaming services. Tubi’s audience continues to be young and increasingly diverse, with African American and LGBT audiences growing over 50% in 2022. Audience growth exceeded 25% in each major level of household income and the Hispanic demo, according to MRI. Tubi’s core younger demographic has remained strong, with more than 1 in 3 (36%) Tubi streamers between the ages of 18 and 34.

CULT OF ELON is set to premiere on April 24 and VIGILANTE, INC. is set to follow on May 6th exclusively on Tubi

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3, 2023 – Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported video-on-demand service, today announced it has entered an exclusive content deal with VICE Media Group to debut eight Tubi Original documentaries speaking to the hottest topics of today. The first documentary, CULT OF ELON, will debut on April 24 and follow the story of Elon Musk and Tesla’s success, examining his path to becoming the most influential (and controversial) businessman in the world by building a powerful cult of personality. The second original Tubi documentary VIGILANTE, INC. will debut on May 6, investigating the volatile world of online vigilantism, as told through a recent manhunt for an arsonist in Los Angeles – fueled by the crime and neighborhood watch app, Citizen. The remaining documentaries, covering such topics as chatbot technology, mass shootings in the US, and ticket scalping, will debut throughout this year. 

“VICE has a longstanding reputation of award-winning investigative storytelling and we’re excited to expand Tubi Original Documentaries with their expertise,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer, Tubi. “These original documentaries will raise the curtain and spark conversation on stories that tap into today’s cultural zeitgeist, including ticket scalping, chatbots and the rise of online vigilantism.”

“We’re thrilled to partner with Tubi to take a deep dive into some of today’s most timely and compelling issues with these eight brand-new documentaries,” said Morgan Hertzan, President of Global TV at VICE.

Subrata De, VICE News EVP added, “We are so looking forward to bringing our cinematic storytelling and fearless journalism to the Tubi audience.” 

CULT OF ELON follows the story behind Elon Musk’s relentless pursuit to build Tesla and the aftermath in the years that followed. By acquiring Twitter, the platform that propelled him and his companies to prominence, Musk has taken singular control of the modern-day public square. Through interviews with Tesla insiders, superfans and industry experts, and , accompanied visually by extensive archive and social media footage, CULT OF ELON will track the story of Tesla’s success and examine how Elon Musk became one of the most influential and controversial business leaders in history by building a powerful cult of personality. CULT OF ELON is executive produced by Maral Usefi and Stacey Sommer. Jeb Banegas and Patrick Mannion serve as editors and Steven Bartus produces. 

VIGILANTE INC. is a deep dive investigation into the recent rise in cases of online vigilantism and asks a number of critical questions about criminal justice, privacy and policing in the internet age. Through the incredible and dystopian story of a manhunt for an arsonist in Los Angeles, the documentary follows the crime and neighborhood watch app, Citizen, as it sprung into action and tracked down a possible suspect, blasting out his photo to the app’s one million LA followers. With Citizen issuing a $30,000 bounty for the suspect –  there was just one problem – they had the wrong guy. VIGILANTE, INC. shows how quickly and easily things can spill out from the online world into the real world, sometimes with terrifying consequences. The documentary features exclusive reporting from the VICE News Tech vertical, Motherboard, including Citizen’s leaked internal Slack messages and interviews with former employees who have never appeared on camera. Directed by Paula Neudorf, who also serves as producer, VIGILANTE, INC. is executive produced by Matthew Skene and Gemma Jordan.
