Business Challenges
-
Freeda Media wanted to grow their sponsored content sales, but faced stiff regional competition in Italy. The Italian sponsored content market is volatile, with top media players jostling for dominance.
-
To make things harder, Italian brands had also proved reluctant to move significant spend from traditional media to branded social content.
-
With these market conditions, it was vital that Freeda Media had accurate data, both on how they should strategise their sales and also on the performance of their sponsored content.
Digital Video Strategy
- Use Tubular Labs’ Partner Identification to identify and pitch to highest spending brands.
Key Benefits

With Tubular data on their competitor’s campaigns, Freeda were able to identify which relevant brands were investing in branded social video content.
-
The data also made it simple to see which campaigns had underperformed relative to Freeda’s benchmarks, increasing the impact of their pitches to those brands.
-
Post-sales, Freeda used Tubular data to report on campaign performance, helping validate successes and drive more sponsorships
