  • The creative would be updated weekly with new teams and players featured.

  • We would only run the campaign on Thursdays. Leading up to the game, the creative would feature a video, followed by a countdown timer, counting down to kickoff time.

  • Once the game started, the creative messaging would update, and the creative would now feature the current score of the game, pulling in the data via an API.

We worked with our partners at Celtra to build all of this within a single dynamic rich media creative. By leveraging a data feed, as well as API integration, we could:

  • Ingest all the weekly team assets into the data feed, and the creative would dynamically update each week by pulling in the assets for each layer on the creative from the feed. This simplified creating the weekly creative ad units, and the InMarket ad operations team did not have to traffic a new creative each week.

  • Once kickoff happened, the creative would automatically switch over to the "Live Score" creative.

  • We leveraged an API from the NFL to ingest live game data into the creative, bringing in each team's score, the current quarter, and time on the clock.
