Ever wonder what it takes to make a commercial? Here's how we made our latest Marketing Architects spot! It started with a simple idea... flipping a coin between brand and performance marketing. But bringing "Coin Toss" to life took a bit more effort. First, we turned an Atlanta studio into a football field, hauling in 500 pounds of turf that required the whole crew to set in place. We even had a professional turf painter make sure it looked just right. An LED screen wall served as our stadium. And we 3D printed a custom coin for the toss. (It was shot practically, then rendered in post for the actual flip). A little post-production magic, and "Coin Toss" was ready for primetime. ?? S/O to Errol Chugg and Carly Smith for crushing this one. #BehindtheScenes #Production #Creative

What even counts as 'TV' today? Well, it's complicated. 1. There are more ways to watch TV than ever before. 2. Streaming TV is adopting traditional trends like advertising, bundling, and live events. 3. Consumers' top definition for TV is simply "anything I can watch on my TV set." 4. Nearly 1/3 of time spent with streaming TV is actually spent with linear content. 5. And almost 3 in 4 marketers agree linear and CTV advertising work better together. The future of TV isn't about choosing sides. The lines are far too blurred for that. Chief Media Officer Catherine Walstad breaks down why it's time for marketers to redefine 'TV.' And maybe even embrace the channel's complexity in the article linked below. #Media #TV #Marketing
