TUBI UNVEILS INSIGHTS ON HOW MARKETERS CAN NAVIGATE THE SHIFTING ENTERTAINMENT LANDSCAPE IN THE STREAM 2025
March 18, 2025
TUBI UNVEILS INSIGHTS ON HOW MARKETERS CAN NAVIGATE THE SHIFTING ENTERTAINMENT LANDSCAPE IN THE STREAM 2025
New Data from Tubi and The Harris Poll Finds Streaming Beats Social as the Best Form of Escapism, Nostalgic Content is Making a Comeback, and Viewers Don’t Want Ads on Paid Subscription Services
SAN FRANCISCO, March 18, 2025 – Tubi (www.tubitv.com), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported streaming service, today released findings from The Stream 2025: Audience Insights Shaping Streaming. In this year’s report Tubi, who partnered with The Harris Poll to conduct research, provides a deep dive into the changing streaming behaviors of consumers, especially Gen Z, and how marketers can reach these audiences amid the shifting entertainment landscape.
“Tubi has built a deeply engaged audience by providing a trusted, premium streaming experience where viewers can freely discover content that speaks to them—without barriers or subscription fees,” said Cynthia Clevenger, Senior Vice President of B2B Marketing at Tubi. “Today’s viewers are more selective than ever, carefully choosing where to invest their time and attention. As consumer behaviors continue to evolve, these insights offer marketers a valuable opportunity to connect with key audiences—like Gen Z—in an environment where they find real value through diverse content, seamless ad integration, and a viewing experience that mirrors paid services without the cost.”
Highlights from the report are below:
Viewers are willing to accept ads, but not if they’re paying for it: 79% of consumers feel that if they’re paying for a streaming service, they expect no ads at all, while 81% say that watching ads is a fair trade-off for access to free content on streaming.
Viewers are turning to streaming as a form of escapism: 80% of viewers say they’d rather spend their time watching a TV show / movie than scrolling on social media. In fact, consumers are most likely to reach for streaming when they need a mental break (59%), followed by listening to music (50%) or scrolling social media (38%).
Americans are quick to ditch their streaming services over price hikes: Viewers are spending $129 combined in a month on streaming services and paid TV subscriptions (a 7.5% increase YoY) and over half of respondents (56%) monitor streaming services carefully so as to not overspend. Gen Z viewers are particularly cost-conscious: 76% say they have or would end their streaming subscription over increased price.
Viewers increasingly favor indies over remakes: 70% of streamers want to see more TV shows / movies on streaming that are independent or from smaller creators (a 4% increase year-over-year), with 73% of Gen Z saying they prefer to watch original content over franchises / remakes. 72% of Gen Z streamers also wish they had more of a say in the type of content that gets made for streaming services.
Young workers are streaming on the clock (and lying about it): Half of Gen Z admitted to streaming while working from home – and nearly 48% admit to lying to their bosses about it.
Singles won’t share their streaming passwords until they DTR (define the relationship): 70% of singles won’t share their streaming login with a romantic partner until the relationship becomes serious and 44% of Gen Z have admitted to using an ex’s streaming login even after they broke up. Taste matters too: 35% of Gen Z and Millennials have ended relationships over incompatible viewing habits.
Out with the new, in with the old: Viewers are in their new-stalgia era: 66% say they are enjoying discovering content that was originally released 10+ years ago, while 87% of Gen Z agree that streaming services should show them older content they’ve never seen before in addition to new shows / movies.
Ads can spark action among Gen Z, but only if they’re relevant: 81% of Gen Z agree that they’d consider taking action after seeing interesting ads while streaming, yet 73% feel that the ads they’re currently seeing on streaming seem misaligned with their personal preferences.
Americans are avid streamers: 57% of viewers stream TV and movies for 1-3 hours in one sitting, and 38% say they stream for 3 hours or more. On average, viewers are juggling nearly 7 streaming services, with a mix of paid streaming services (3.9 on average) and free services (2.6 on average).
Tubi, which recently surpassed 97 million monthly active users and streamed over 10 billion hours during the 2024 calendar year, offers the world’s largest collection of movies and TV episodes, including over 300 exclusive originals, engaging fandoms with a fun and easy viewing experience across connected televisions, mobile devices, the web and more. More than 95% of viewing on Tubi is on-demand movies and TV shows. Over thirty-four percent of Tubi viewers are between the ages of 18-34, over half are Gen Z or Millennials and nearly half are multicultural, while 65% are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, according to the November MRI Cord Evolution Study. Last month, in partnership with FOX Sports, Tubi delivered the most-streamed Super Bowl in history as part of FOX Sport’s game day takeover, reaching 15.5 million peak concurrent streaming viewers and a 13.6 million average minute audience. Tubi is doubling down on content for fandoms and younger audiences. Its recent Super Bowl campaign, “If It’s In You, It’s In Here,” used the unforgettable visual of a fleshy cowboy hat to drive home the message that whatever viewers love, they’ll find it on Tubi, while its latest original series, THE Z-SUITE, starring Lauren Graham (“Gilmore Girls”), dives into the comedic chaos that erupts when Gen Z employees and the C-suite clash at a boutique ad agency.

About the Data: The survey referenced was conducted within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of Tubi from October 21, 2024, to November 1, 2024, among 2,502 18+ adults that stream video at least 1 hour a week.

TUBI TURNS E.L.F. BEAUTY, NERDS® CANDY AND POPPI SUPER BOWL ADS INTO TUBI MOVIE TRAILERS
February 9, 2025
TUBI TURNS E.L.F. BEAUTY, NERDS® CANDY AND POPPI SUPER BOWL ADS INTO TUBI MOVIE TRAILERS
Tubi Brings Their Signature Vibe to Brands and If Fans Demand More, They’ll Make Them Into Real Movies
San Francisco, February 9, 2025 – Tubi (www.tubitv.com), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported streaming service, today announced their Tubi Movies campaign, hijacking brand spots and reinterpreting them into film trailers, the spots aired exclusively on Tubi. The creative interpretations reflect Tubi’s content strategy that bucks the monoculture and celebrates fandoms, with a content catalog of 275,000 titles. If fans clamor for more, Tubi will kick off the development process to make them Tubi Originals.
“We’ve seen Tubi fans on social media respond to unbelievable moments with – ‘that should be a Tubi movie.’ Bringing that meme to life is what inspired this campaign,” said Nicole Parlapiano, CMO at Tubi. “We wanted to show marketers that we mean business and our creative breaks through with our massive, engaged audience on our platform. Whether it’s partnering on creative for a campaign on Tubi, creating a bespoke integration into a Tubi Original, or taking over the platform with in-app branding – Tubi is in the business of creating entertaining, streaming-first brand moments.”
The e.l.f. Tubi Movie followed the “e.l.f. von zehn” campaign hero spot. In this movie creative, we dive into a different and dark side to lab scientist, Klaus, played by Christopher Kouros, and the scientific method to his madness. Launched earlier this month, “e.l.f. von zehn” is a global awareness campaign that puts real product reviews for Power Grip Primer, Halo Glow and other e.l.f. favorites through outrageously literal and seriously funny lab tests to earn e.l.f. von zehn (11/10) ratings. In addition to the Tubi Movie, e.l.f. is the first brand sponsoring Tubi’s recently launched shoppable experience, allowing viewers to shop their e.l.f. favorites directly on shop.tubi.tv without disrupting their viewing experience.
The NERDS Tubi Movie ad followed the Wonderful World of NERDS hero creative from their Unleash your Senses campaign featuring NERDS Gummy Clusters™ candy. In the ad creative, the NERDS Gummy character is leading a parade through the streets of New Orleans, when an asteroid comes into frame. Gummy immediately jumps into action, and as mission control watches, it flies towards the asteroid before the meteor reaches Earth.
The poppi Tubi Movie followed their Soda Thoughts campaign hero creative. In the spot, Alix Earle and Jake Shane go to a drive-through to grab a poppi, only to be intercepted by an alien biker gang. Zork Zork, played by Noah Beck, instantly becomes smitten with Alix and we witness their enemies-to-lovers story unfold, but not without turf war banter from her bestie Jake. Noah Beck recently starred in the Tubi Original movie, SIDELINED: THE QB AND ME, a title that drew the biggest number of viewers of any title on Tubi in its first seven days. Top Fortnite player and most watched Fortnite streamer on Twitch, Cody “Clix” Conrod, plays one of the alien bikers featured in the ad, and will be streaming from his Twitch account reacting to all the moments that move culture during the big game.
The Tubi Movies were made in partnership with Tubi’s creative agency of record, Mischief @ No Fixed Address.
“Super Bowl is home to an abundance of weird and unexpected brand moments. We saw this as a ripe opportunity for Tubi to make the most out of them in a way that only Tubi could because the platform is known for wide variety of content.” Bianca Guimaraes, ECD & Partner at Mischief, said. “What if we could push the spots even further to highlight people’s personal interests? What if the poppi ad, for example, turned into an intergalactic romantic high school drama? Or the NERDs spot gave way to a superhero movie with a gummy candy protagonist? If you’ve got that niche in you, chances are it’s in Tubi.”
The Tubi Movies could become full-length films or series if fans ask for more. Tubi will gauge social conversation around the spots and if they meet benchmarks for recent Tubi Originals, will kick off the development process with brand partners. As an ad-supported streamer, bringing brands an unduplicated audience of young, multicultural viewers is core to the Tubi business.
“Tubi’s and e.l.f.’s aligned goals to democratize access and serve the underserved made coming together for the Big Game an obvious choice. Together, we are disrupting a huge cultural conversation,” said Laurie Lam, e.l.f. Beauty’s Chief Brand Officer. “e.l.f. is no stranger to making noise at the Big Game. This year, we are showing up in an unexpected way to disrupt norms, shape culture and connect communities with absurdly entertaining content.”
“We were so honored when Tubi reached out to our team – and it has been a phenomenal collaboration. The Tubi Movie takes our NERDS ‘Unleash Your Senses’ campaign to the next level – and, literally, to outer space,” said Greg Guidotti, Ferrara’s Chief Marketing Officer. “When two unexpected yet great things come together – like crunchy and tangy NERDS candy with a sweet gummy center – it’s an experience unlike anything else. Who better to save this ‘wonderful world’ than everybody’s favorite NERDS character?”
“At poppi, we’re always pushing ourselves to go bigger and better, and our return to the Super Bowl was such a fun challenge. Collaborating with Tubi and Mischief on our bonus commercial resulted in some out-of-this-world creative,” said Allison Ellsworth, Co-Founder & Chief Brand Officer, poppi. “I truly can’t think of a better way to spread the word about poppi being the future of soda than with a spot starring actual greasers from outer space. I’m obsessed with how it all came together, blending our iconic creator talent and poppi’s ‘Soda Thoughts’ campaign with a totally unexpected partner. I’m so excited to see the reactions from our poppi community, because they definitely won’t be expecting this.”
Directly following the big game, Tubi will be re-premirering the first two episodes of THE Z-SUITE, a series starring Lauren Graham from Gilmore Girls and a cast of young new talent will delight audiences with its comedy and cultural relevance. The TUBI RED CARPET AT SUPER BOWL LIX will be available on demand after the game, so viewers can catch all the must see celebrity and culture moments that happened on the carpet. Tubi continues to be at the intersection of sports and culture, the platform recently announced a new reality series WWE EVOLVE, chronicling the journeys of rising prospects as they compete to become WWE Superstars debuting on Tubi in Spring 2025. Tubi’s first Original talk show, WE GOT TIME TODAY is hosted by sports legend Deion Sanders with his co-host, Rocsi Diaz and has new episodes airing each week.

TUBI’S NEW SUPER BOWL AD, IF IT’S IN YOU – IT’S IN HERE INVITES VIEWERS TO EMBRACE THE CONTENT THEY LOVE
TUBI’S NEW SUPER BOWL AD, IF IT’S IN YOU – IT’S IN HERE INVITES VIEWERS TO EMBRACE THE CONTENT THEY LOVE
A Gender Reveal Turned Genre Reveal Inspires Viewers To Wear Their Fleshy Hats with Pride
San Francisco, February 9, 2025 – Tubi (www.tubitv.com), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported streaming service, today revealed their new creative advertising campaign, If It’s In You, It’s In Here. Tubi offers the world’s largest collection of on demand movies and TV episodes, including over 300 exclusive originals, engaging fandoms with a fun and easy viewing experience. For its second Big Game appearance, Tubi brings their See You In There tagline to life through a charming, unhinged spot that reflects the extremely diverse array of content found in the world’s largest collection of on demand movies and TV episodes. The campaign is supported by out of home, influencer partnerships, three :15 spots featuring original cowboy ballads, a :77 spot with more cowboy lore, an album and a fleshy TikTok filter that will reveal the genre that lives in you.
The hero of the 360 campaign is a :60 spot, following the life of a man, born with something that makes him special: a love of Westerns. We watch as he’s bullied in school and ostracized by those who don’t love what he loves. Times change, westerns become cool and suddenly the stigma is gone. Instead of perpetuating the cruelty he experienced, he encourages those to embrace what they love, rather than conform to what’s cool.
“See You In There is more than a tagline, it’s an invitation and we wanted to bring it to life.” said Nicole Parlapiano, CMO at Tubi. “Today’s viewers are unabashedly consuming more content that is aligned with their own personal passions and interests, instead of feeling the need to tune into the latest hit movie or show everyone’s talking about. Tubi wanted to use our moment on this incredible stage to celebrate the fierce and growing individualism we see reflected in our viewers.”
Tubi’s creative strategy was supported by insights found in Tubi’s upcoming issue of The Stream. Seventy-three of Gen Z say they’re tired of keeping up with what’s trendy, and this exhaustion has led to some white lies in their social spheres; over half (53%) have lied about watching or pretended to know more about a trending show. Instead, they want to reclaim what they love most: 82% of Gen Z take pride in their “guilty pleasure” movies / shows.
The spot was made in partnership with Tubi’s creative agency of record, Mischief @ No Fixed Address. It is the second time the duo has taken to the big game. “Everyone is drawn to a specific movie or TV show genre. But you can’t quite remember how you first fell in love with it—it’s almost like you’re born with a niche interest” said Bianca Guimaraes, ECD and Partner at Mischief. “We thought it would be fun to explore what a physical representation of that would look like. Turns out it looks like a hauntingly beautiful fleshy cowboy, wizard, helmet, head.”
To broaden the campaign to even more consumers, Tubi has launched a microsite, MyTestTubi, where consumers can take a Genre-ology quiz to find out their big three content genres and receive recommendations of titles to watch on Tubi. Genre-ology was created in partnership with DDA.
Viewers can tune into SUPER BOWL LIX, airing live on Tubi. The TUBI RED CARPET AT SUPER BOWL LIX will be available on demand after the game, so viewers can catch all the must see celebrity and culture moments that happened on the carpet. Directly following the big game, Tubi will be re-premirering the first two episodes of THE Z-SUITE, a workplace comedy series set at a boutique New York ad agency where generational divides see the established C-Suite and rising Gen Z employees collide. Tubi continues to be at the intersection of sports and culture, the platform recently announced a new reality series WWE EVOLVE, chronicling the journeys of rising prospects as they compete to become WWE Superstars debuting on Tubi in Spring 2025. Tubi’s first Original talk show, WE GOT TIME TODAY is hosted by sports legend Deion Sanders with his co-host, Rocsi Diaz and has new episodes airing each week.
