The creative flexibility of DOOH enabled FOX to execute turnkey activation with periodically updated tune-in ads leading up to each USA game.
Meanwhile, dynamic live scoring during the most popular matches delivers sought-after, real-time information while calling on viewers to access full game coverage on the FOX Sports network and mobile app.
According to Nielsen, while 81% of fans tune in to free-to-air TV to watch soccer, 68% view on over-the-top (OTT) streaming services such as the FOX Sports app- viewing preferences which FOX caters to with this campaign.
