Many speculated that 2020 would be AVOD’s year, and that has only meant great things for Massoudi. The service claimed 25 million active monthly users at the end of 2019, and users on average are watching over six hours of content each month. Fox noticed the growth and took the opportunity to expand its own advertising portfolio by buying Tubi for $440 million in March.
My prediction for AVOD is…
It will ultimately account for most of streaming viewership.
Working from home has taught me…
How much I enjoy seeing my colleagues. I’ve also learned how much more efficient we can be with our time at work.
Last show binged not on Tubi…
“Ozark”
When restaurants open back up my first stop will be…
Kokkari.
Biggest challenge facing advertising?
The biggest challenge and opportunity facing advertising is the transition of advertising spent to OTT and AVOD.
