TUBI AND AGE OF LEARNING ANNOUNCE LAUNCH OF THE NEW EDUCATIONAL ANIMATED SERIES FROM ABCMOUSE, SEARCH AND EXPLORE®, EXCLUSIVELY ON TUBI KIDS

Building on the success of the beloved interactive learning program ABCmouse Early Learning Academy, Search and Explore is Age of Learning’s first longform series, engaging children ages 2 to 8 in learning adventures with popular characters ABC Mouse and friends, 1•2•3 Mouse and Do-Re-Mi Mouse

San Francisco & Los Angeles, April 22, 2020—Leading education technology innovator Age of Learning, creator of the widely popular ABCmouse Early Learning Academy, and Tubi, the world’s largest ad-supported video on demand service, today announced the launch of ABCmouse’s Search and Explore exclusively on Tubi Kids. 

Based on the highly popular Search and Explore book series and characters in ABCmouse Early Learning Academy that millions of children have come to love, the new animated series for the first time expands ABCmouse’s educational content to longform storytelling. Search and Explore engages children ages 2 to 8 in the joy of learning and helps develop their skills, knowledge, and vocabulary across academic domains including science, technology, engineering, art, math, music, social studies, and literacy. The first season of Search and Explore launches today with eight original episodes, with additional seasons to be released this summer and beyond.    

“As Age of Learning continues to expand our educational content and technology, we are also expanding the ways we reach children in the U.S. and globally,” said Age of Learning CEO Paul Candland. “We are excited to partner with Tubi to launch the Search and Explore series on the Tubi Kids platform. Particularly during these challenging times when many families are struggling to support their children’s education at home, this series can help children build a love of learning and experience learning adventures across the United States and around the world.”

“Tubi Kids puts parents in the driver’s seat with their children’s education, as a subscription-free premium destination for families,” said Tubi CEO Farhad Massoudi. “ABCmouse content provides significant value to our customers and we are thrilled to begin our collaboration as the exclusive home of Search and Explore.” 

As with all Age of Learning offerings, the development of Search and Explore began with the company’s curriculum team of master educators and early childhood education experts, who specified detailed curriculum objectives for each episode to help children learn key concepts and skills across academic domains. Closely collaborating with the curriculum team, Age of Learning’s creative team—including the creator of an award-winning PBS educational television series, and animators who have worked on some of the most beloved animated films of all time—developed compelling stories in a charming, classic animation style highly appealing to young children.

As children watch each episode, they embark on adventures with ABC Mouse and best friends 1•2•3 Mouse and Do-Re-Mi Mouse to destinations around the world. Every story within Search and Explore introduces children to exciting destinations and new learning topics. The friends slide down the cables of the Golden Gate Bridge, jump over the Statue of Liberty’s hidden broken chains, and hike through the Grand Canyon as they learn about the animals that live there. In one episode, children learn about the history of the Great Wall of China, and in another, about the Amazon River and its ecosystem, plants, and animals. Each episode ends with an engaging original song that pulls together the key learning objectives of the episode.

Tubi Kids features a robust library of children’s content–over 1,200 age-appropriate movies and television shows or over 5,000 hours of content–completely free in a dedicated section built just for families. A destination for age-appropriate content on the service, Tubi Kids helps alleviate parents’ worries over what their children are watching.

TransUnion and Tubi Collaborate to Meet Connected Consumer Needs as Demand for Streaming TV Accelerates

Partnership leverages TransUnion data to enhance both consumer and advertiser experiences

Chicago, April 15, 2020 – In the rapidly accelerating direct-to-consumer streaming TV market, consumers increasingly expect personalized viewing experiences. Tubi, the world’s largest ad-supported video on demand (AVOD) service, is partnering with TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) to enhance the way consumers engage and interact with content platforms.

The partnership enables Tubi to deliver curated content and viewer experiences by establishing a more enriched view of individuals and households. This unique picture of the connected consumer is created by combining Tubi’s deep understanding of content viewing behaviors with TransUnion’s robust data assets, rooted in their cross-verified consumer database. As a result, advertisers can more seamlessly bridge the gap between individual and household, and deliver a more personalized ad experience alongside the content.

“The integration of TransUnion data assets can help companies connect the dots to gain a more comprehensive understanding of today’s consumer and reach them with confidence – especially as they move and consume content in new ways,” said Matt Spiegel, executive vice president of marketing solutions and media vertical at TransUnion. “With identifiers such as third-party cookies on the decline and media consumption changing, alternative identifiers such as home IP address are imperative for building a strong foundation of individual-level identity and reaching consumers on devices like Connected TVs.”

“These insights not only benefit the viewing experience, they also improve the way advertisers reach and communicate with consumers,” said Mark Rotblat, chief revenue officer at Tubi. “Consumer-level insights lead to more informed audience targeting and media strategies as we are able to identify the best types of content and connect that to relevant messaging for viewers. Incorporating this information often results in better performing campaigns and more engaged viewers.”

Tubi’s strength is in the data surrounding content viewing behavior. By creating a linkage from a device ID, Tubi can draw deep insights around consumer preference and deliver better content personalization and recommendations for users.

The sci-fi thriller and companion docu-series will be available completely free this summer

SAN FRANCISCO, January 27, 2020 – Tubi (www.tubi.tv), the world’s largest free ad-supported video on demand (AVOD) service, today announced it would be the exclusive streaming home to Red 11 and The Robert Rodriguez Film School from the eponymous critically-acclaimed filmmaker of From Dusk Till Dawn, Spy Kids, and Alita: Battle Angel. Following a world premiere at SXSW and official screening in Cannes Directors’ Fortnight, the film and series will be available on Tubi in the US, Canada, and Mexico this summer.

Based on Robert Rodriguez’s experiences in a medical research facility to finance his first feature El Mariachi, Red 11 is set in the dark, twisted world of legal drug research. College kids turn lab rats to make quick money, and our hero, Rob (who is assigned the color and number Red 11), is here to buy his way out of a huge debt to the tune of $7,000. But things get surreal when he’s not sure if the hospital is really trying to kill him, or if it’s side effects from the experimental drugs.

Equally as intriguing as the movie itself, Robert Rodriguez produced this movie with the same sensibility and methodology – and $7,000 budget – as his first feature El Mariachi.  The Robert Rodriguez Film School is a docu-series companion piece to the feature that explains this process, while speaking to filmmakers and entrepreneurs alike on overcoming the perceived limitations of time, budget, and other variables.

“I’m thrilled to be partnering with Tubi to deliver Red 11 and its accompanying Film School docuseries free of charge and easily accessible to all audiences,” said Robert Rodriguez. “I made both Red 11 and the Film School series to celebrate the 25th anniversary of El Mariachi, and this project shows truly actionable methods using my no crew, micro-budget filmmaking style that will inspire others to make their own films and have their voices be heard. These are both dream projects of mine, an entertaining culmination of ideas and ruminations on the creative process that also highlight the heightened sense of spirituality that comes from dancing with creativity when there is an absence of the usual financial resources. In other words, ‘low budg fun.’”

“Red 11 and the story of how Robert made this movie is inspirational to up-and-coming filmmakers,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer, Tubi. “We are thrilled to amplify Robert’s message to the next generation of filmmakers as a part of our commitment to helping independent films find a wide audience.”

Tubi continues to expand its massive content library which currently contains more than 20,000 movies and television series – more than double the size of Netflix. Just this month, it was announced that Tubi would launch in Mexico with TV Azteca, one of the two largest producers of Spanish-language television programming in the world. Tubi is available on Hisense televisions, Android and iOS mobile devices, Amazon Echo Show, Google Nest Hub Max, Comcast Xfinity X1, Cox Contour, and on OTT devices such as Amazon Fire TV, Vizio TVs, Sony TVs, Samsung TVs, Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, Android TV, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.

“As part of TV Azteca’s transformation towards the future, we are looking forward to enhancing our distribution and make the best television productions available to a broader audience via Tubi,” said Alberto Ciurana, Chief Content & Distribution Officer for TV Azteca. “We are excited to be part of the construction of a more connected and technological Mexican audience.”
