This year’s Digiday Video and TV Awards winners found success with emotional stories and meaningful experiences that foster connections and drive brand affinity. This storytelling extended to social video campaigns, emerging technologies and offerings to reach wider audiences with compelling content.
For instance, in the Best Ad Tech Innovation category, PepsiCo won for using enhanced in-scene advertising to insert its brands into influencer video content. PepsiCo beverage brands Starry and bubly worked with AI tech company Rembrand to appear in creator videos in a programmatic and non-interruptive way. Rembrand strategically placed Starry and bubly with creators whose content aligned with each brand’s personality, as selected by PepsiCo, with cans appearing on natural surfaces in most videos. YouTube retargeting ads were then exclusively shown to individuals who saw creator videos with in-scene advertising. In the first three months, the campaign surpassed expectations with more than 12.5 million global views, across 14 content creators on YouTube and TikTok.
Innovid is being recognized in the new Best Measurement Tool category. Its solution, InnovidXP, is built for global and cross-platform TV ad measurement. Innovid serves over 1.2 billion ads and collects 6 billion data points daily to fuel powerful insights. With InnovidXP’s instant optimization tool, the platform lets advertisers close the measurement-action gap and continuously activate against those insights. Certified by 1,050 publishers and used by thousands of advertisers worldwide, InnovidXP provides a broad view of the CTV landscape and helps advertisers across both the buy- and sell-side solve challenges facing the industry.
Best Production Strategy went to Paramount+ for its success with experiential marketing and storytelling. In 2023, the global subscription video streaming service, which offers a “mountain of entertainment” per a tagline, brought the ultimate mountain lodge experience to fans across the U.S. The Lodge traveled from two of the country’s highest-traffic ski destinations to SXSW, VidCon and San Diego Comic-Con. The experience featured immersive installations recreating the settings of popular shows, including “1923” and “Star Trek: Picard,” as well as interactive sports and music-themed areas and a recreation of the iconic Paramount Theater. The Lodge generated more than 49 million impressions, over 100 news articles and welcomed more than 13,000 visitors during its tour. Paramount+ also saw an increase in new customers during and after the activation window, demonstrating its effectiveness in elevating brand perception.
