BRIGHTLINE PARTNERS WITH AMC NETWORKS TO PROVIDE DYNAMIC AND ENGAGING AD CAPABILITIES BEGINNING WITH DIETLAND PREMIERE Partnership scales advanced ad campaigns and metrics across AMC Networks’ Connected TV app portfolio



New York, NY, June 18, 2018  – BrightLine, the market leader in advanced TV, and AMC Networks, home to five well-defined networks and some of the most popular and acclaimed programs on television, announced a partnership which brings BrightLine’s leading enhanced OTT ad platform, InCast, to the entire AMC Networks connected TV portfolio reaching leading streaming devices Roku and Apple TV.
With BrightLine’s personalized and engaging ad experiences enabled, AMC can offer their advertiser clients new and innovative ad formats that move the viewer beyond the standard commercial spot. Launching across all of AMC Networks’ Connected TV living room apps, advertisers can tap into the increased engagement, attribution and dynamic creative that BrightLine’s ad platform allows.
To commemorate the launch, AMC is showcasing the new capability with tune-in ads for its brand new darkly comedic and incredibly timely drama, Dietland.  These immersive, enhanced spots allow viewers to scroll with their remote controls to meet key characters from the show via an in-stream engageable overlay.  With this partnership, AMC now offers marketers the opportunity to sponsor these unique, engaging ad formats to garner additional exposure and engagement with their advertising on AMC’s marquee content lineup.
“AMC continues to push the envelope both on-screen with its award-winning programming as well as their cutting edge OTT apps,” said Robert Aksman, BrightLine’s Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer. “Our partnership with AMC moves beyond just enhancing commercial spots, and allows AMC’s premier advertisers to blend content with brand messaging to raise the bar on viewer experience.”
“We know our fans are watching more and more content on our expanding array of platforms through AMC Networks’ dedicated and authenticated platforms,” said Kirk Linden, SVP, Advanced Platforms Ad Sales & Operations at AMC Networks.  “Partnering with Brightline allows AMC Networks to deliver immersive, first-to-market advanced TV products for our clients that fully leverage the capabilities of our living room apps.”
BrightLine’s platform offers marketers the ability to turn ads into dynamic and immersive brand experiences on connected TVs. The product suite allows viewers to engage with personalized ads on a TV that matches the way they engage with content on desktop or mobile devices.
