Vevo is selling the opportunity for corporate brands to wrap their names around an interview with the President and hip-hop mogul Jay-Z on the popular video site. Vevo has not confirmed the announced the event, but sources say advertisers have already bought sponsorships. The offering gives a whole new meaning to money in politics.
Digital brands like Facebook and Google have garnered credibility in the political world by hosting interviews with President Barack Obama. But the types of sales offerings Vevo has made available to corporate advertisers in association with the event are virtually unheard of.
A Vevo sales deck obtained by ClickZ promotes sponsorships of an interview event with Jay-Z and Obama set to be held in February. The marketing presentation offers category exclusivity to four sponsors for the one-hour live stream, as well as an encore stream and on-demand content.
Sponsors are also offered “brand inclusion” such as ads on Vevo, social media outreach on Facebook and Twitter, and mention in a press release and other press outreach about the event sent to media outlets including CNN, AOL, and Rolling Stone.
The sales deck even offers sponsors the “exclusive opportunity” to attend the live event our sources say.
According to the deck, the hour-long live “town hall” will take place before an audience on February 9, 2012 exclusively on Vevo, from the East Wing of the White House, and will include a 30-minute interview with Jay-Z and Obama.
