“Virtual TV Networks”

Viacom Echo is a strategic approach to content creation, distribution, amplification, and optimization with the end goal of delivering measured earned media for our marketing partners.

Custom on-air spots anchored in prime programming rolled out across Vh1, Spike and MTV. The (:60) pieces featured Amy Schumer, Bill Hader and Judd Apatow – and the hilarious conversation that ensued when the three jumped into bed together. In alignment with the on-air prime debuts, the creative was pushed out across each network’s respective social handles for maximum reach and exposure.
