Berlin, 27 June 2023 – ShowHeroes, a global leader in digital video content, tech, and advertising solutions, continues the extension of its creative services with the launch of Custom Animations for CTV.

 

This innovative and highly customizable format is designed to elevate brand experiences on Connected TV (CTV) platforms. It yields high levels of engagement due to the incorporation of interactive elements and animations, e.g. QR codes, on the frame of the ad creative. The product will be made available across all of ShowHeroes’ markets and will be offered in two distinct levels: Custom QR Code and Full Custom Animation.

Custom QR Code: This level of customization revolves around the QR code, providing brands with the ability to incorporate their logo and key elements tailored to their brand identity. The result is a visually captivating and brand-aligned animated QR code.

 

Full Custom Animation: Going a step further, Full Custom Animation extends the animation to the entire frame surrounding the video. This level of customization takes part of the screen presence and integrates a wide range of eye-catching and intriguing animations, enabling users to access more information about the product, scan the advertiser’s website , or explore promotional offers.

 

To ensure the perfect execution of each brand’s vision, ShowHeroes offers a comprehensive consulting process, working closely with agencies to present creative proposals and facilitate a seamless transition into production. ShowHeroes Studios, our in-house content arm renowned for its expertise in video production and commercials, is the main driver behind this addition to the CTV ad solutions portfolio.
