CHICAGO, Nov. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital media company Onion, Inc. has expanded even further into the social media universe with the launch of its first branded content partnership with Facebook's premium video advertising program, Anthology.
Anthology, which launched in April, pairs Facebook's unique insights and scale with publishers' distinct voice and content production to deliver highly relevant, insight-driven content to a targeted audience on behalf of brand partners.
As one of Anthology's original media and publishing partners, creative services division of Onion, Inc., Onion Labs, creates branded content that leverages the sensibility of The Onion and delivers on a brand's objectives.
In its first advertising campaign for Anthology, Onion Labs teamed up with Dell, HP, Intel, Lenovo and Microsoft – to develop a one-of-a-kind, comedic video series and content platform showcasing the exciting innovation in today's newest personal computers (PCs).
"Through our Anthology partnership, Onion Labs leverages Facebook insights to create more strategic creative content for our clients," said Julie Scott, Onion, Inc.'s VP of account management. "The combination of insight-driven creative and contextual targeting is already proving successful for Onion Labs, Facebook and all the partner brands involved in the campaign around educating consumers about the amazing things the next generation of PCs can do."
The brand brief for the work centered on creating immersive native and branded content in order to tell stories through entertaining lenses that will show, share and personalize PC experiences in a relatable way. To deliver on that goal, Onion Labs produced a custom video series starring Saturday Night Live star Kenan Thompson as self-help talk show host, "Dr. Jimm".
The nine-part series, titled "Help! I'm Turning into My Parents!", will run on Facebook through December 15.
