The way most channel owners solve for unused or unsold time in a linear ad break hasn't changed for 70 years. The solution they've adopted to fill 'dead air' has been a 'filler' or 'slate' that simply informs the viewer:
While this is indeed an easy way to replace what would otherwise be a 'dark screen', the problem is that it is:
Boring.
Unattractive.
Expensive to run.
Credited with causing viewer 'churn'.
A waste of valuable real estate.
Following 9 months of R&D, industry diligence and relentless testing, Origin has brought to market a turnkey solution for channel owners that replaces legacy filler with highly engaging, dynamic content that has been meticulously engineered to solve these problems.
Baked into its design, Origin Slate benefits every touch point in the chain (channel owner, advertiser and viewer) by:
Keeping viewers entertained while they wait for their show to return.
Giving channel owners a highly customizable, turnkey solution that delivers a better experience, new real estate to promote content and an effortless source of revenue.
