Wrestling For Fan Engagement Using AI-powered CTV Strategy For WWE’s Wrestlemania

Campaign Details

VDO.AI's team of experts leveraged device-level insights and a deep understanding of the media and sports entertainment industries to deliver extraordinary results for their client, WWE. VDO.AI took the first mover advantage of the new technology SIMID, which supports ads in safe and secure environments.

By conducting extensive research and development, the team was able to align it with WWE's goals. A high-impact CTV activation was scaled by layering IP-enabled data sets such as location and device.

The cross-device compatible CTV overlays and branded canvases delivered fans a strip-like engagement panel at the bottom of their screen that provided a QR code and directions to use their device remote (ROKU, Apple+, or Firestick) to navigate to one of three images of top wrestler talent and click to vote in real-time.
