Fox Debuts true[X] Engagement Ads On Hulu

Mondelēz International Campaign Highlights Company’s Leadership in
Consumer Driven, On-Demand and Interactive Content Programming

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fox Networks Group (FNG) today announced that for the first time,
viewers of premium streaming TV destination Hulu will have the option to
choose engagement ads when they watch Fox content.

The engagement ads are powered by technology from true[X], a subsidiary
of 21st Century Fox. The viewers select a 30-second ad instead of 2
minutes and 30 seconds of traditional interruptive ads. The engagement
advertising technology is superior to traditional digital advertising
because it’s 100% viewable, 100% bot-free, and guarantees the full
attention of the viewer. This continues Fox’s push to reduce ad clutter
and interruptive advertising overall.

“It’s always great to be working with leading industry partners like
Hulu that share our dedication to viewer experience,” said Joe Marchese,
President, Advanced Advertising Products at Fox Networks Group and
founder of true[X]. “Digital video is an on-demand, non-linear medium,
and having an ad format that fits this experience is a win for
advertisers, publishers, and viewers alike.”

“Like Hulu, true[X] has been a pioneer of interactive advertising
formats. We are pleased to partner with true[X] to bring choice based
advertising to viewers watching Fox Networks Group Content.” said Mike
Hopkins, CEO, Hulu.

Global snacking powerhouse Mondelēz International has committed to
advertising its brands in FNG engagement units on Hulu at launch. “We’re
excited to be involved as one of the first brands in this partnership,”
said Farrah Bezner, Marketing Director for Halls & Candy at Mondelēz
International. “Creating content that consumers will enjoy and engage
with is critical for brands like Swedish Fish and Halls, so we’re
constantly seeking out these new types of programs.”

“Consumers are more empowered than ever before to improve their viewing
experience,” said Laura Henderson, Global Content & Media Lead at
Mondelēz International. “We’re excited to partner with Fox, true[X], and
Hulu to shape the future of content and ad formats that will bring more
value to our consumers.”

Terms of the partnership have not been disclosed.
