KG and Verizon Partner to Compete with Comcast Celtics

Kevin Garnett is now shooting ads for Verizon. The significance of the basketball marketing deal is the fact that Verizon’s biggest competitor is the cable TV company that carries the Boston Celtics games during the regular season.

KG is now engaged in a NBA playoffs showdown against the Detroit Pistons, is starring in a 30-second ad that touts Verizon’s cable FiOS TV services, including the system’s “home media” products.

The national ads, which started airing yesterday, will run for a couple of months, a Verizon spokesman said yesterday.

“Kevin Garnett is the ultimate, game-changing NBA star, and FiOS TV is the ultimate, game-changing entertainment experience,” said John Wimsatt, senior vice president of marketing for Verizon Telecommunications.”

Streetball Remix: “Kevin Garnett is the ultimate, game changing NBA star that can push our products to the people most willing to purchase them.”

As a Verizon statement describes it: “The new TV spot is set in a venerable Boston mansion that is decorated in a comically lavish style. Garnett towers over a slender Verizon technician who shows him how he can record videos in his family room, then watch them on other TV sets located throughout the house, including in a five-story stairwell.”

Verizon, the giant phone company that only recently jumped into the cable-TV business, provides digital services to 70 towns in Massachusetts, though not yet in the city of Boston.

By teaming up with Verizon, Garnett is in effect pitching a product that competes with Comcast, owner of Comcast SportsNet, which carries Celtics games.

Comcast yesterday indicated it wasn’t intimidated by Garnett’s towering presense for Verizon, which also carries Comcast SportsNet’s Celtics games.

Comcast Responds to Kevin Garnett and the Verizon Alliance

Referring to Verizon as a “phone company,” Comcast spokesman Jim Hughes said no other competitor “comes close” to its coverage of the “amazing Celtics” and other New England sports teams via its on-demand and high-definition services.

Your homework for the day is to re-read the article and this last quote and its significance or just understand the search results.

CBS Launches College Sports Media Online Ad Network

CBS Corp on Wednesday announced the launch of an online ad network focused on college sports, in a move to entice media buyers to spend more money with the television broadcaster by offering them a way to more effectively target young, male fans.

The creation of CBS College Sports Media will offer media buyers the opportunity to advertise on college basketball coverage websites, including CBS’s CBSSports.com, CBS College Sports Network’s 215 college partners and NCAA.com. Those sites reached more than 10 million unique visitors in March.

Over the past year, more companies have begun to offer targeted ad networks — such as ones focused on finance or women — for media buyers used to buying ads in bulk through intermediary firms, said Jason Kint, senior vice president and general manager of CBSSports.com and CBSNews.com. Basketball and college sports offers access to a mostly male audience, ages 18 to 49.

“It’s for ease of buying for the media buyer,” Kint said in a telephone interview. “The agencies who want to target the college sports fan across CBS, they can easily buy across all of our online businesses that have an affinity with the college sports fan.”

Kint said media buyers are spending tens of millions of dollars online with CBS in an effort to target college basketball fans, and the new ad network should only help CBS boost that amount.

For example, a video streaming product for the NCAA college basketball tournament in March generated about $23 million in online ad revenue alone, he said. The new platform will allow CBS, which has the rights to cover all NCAA championships, to more easily serve media buyers in the other 11 months.

CBS officials also pointed out that media buyers can bundle the new ad platform with CBS sports coverage on television.

“CBS College Sports Media will allow us to streamline the process of selling our digital collegiate properties while offering clients packages to be bundled with television assets from CBS Sports and CBS College Sports Network, giving advertisers multiple platforms from which to deliver their message,” said Jo Ann Ross, president of network and interactive sales at CBS.
