Integrate into
our platforms

The Olympic Games on CBC Radio-Canada present a unique opportunity for brands to increase the impact of their ad campaigns through strategic integration of partnership content. Our creative agency approach creates 360° content solutions to capitalize on CBC’s national reach across broadcast, digital and social platforms.

We tell stories that resonate with Canadians. And we work with partners in different ways to help them connect with their target audience.

Partnership Content

campaigns offer a fully invested brand access to our entire Olympic network for custom messaging, brand integration and activation.

Sponsored Content

helps brands to focus on a specific platform, single language or to partner in the content space when they do not have Olympic campaigns of their own.

Naming and Titling

models provide category ownership and association to our coverage when a brand’s objectives are best achieved through segment, sport, show or studio exposure.

Custom
Features

Produced features are the cornerstone of our Olympic Games coverage. They are effective in Partner, Sponsored or Titled content integration. When a brand, its message, or shared attributes are showcased in a feature content series there is an increase in awareness and affinity. Each series is customized with a set of branded assets designed to meet partner goals.

  • Opening animation

    Branded dynamic animations to link a partner to a Segment or Series. Most effective for a new brand, less effective in social and digital content.

  • Branded Transition

    Shorter branded dynamic animations embedded into content for increased visibility across all platforms. Essential in the social and digital space.

  • Closing Animation

    Branded dynamic animations to link a partner to a Segment or Series. Traditional tool to deliver large format logo, text and verbal brand tagline.

Digital &
Social Media

Optimized for maximum impact, our customized digital experiences engage and captivate, creating bespoke digital and social content that showcases your brand and connects audiences to the stories we are telling together.

These campaigns are tailored specifically for each platform, driving growth and achieving your KPIs to reach your campaign goals.

Past examples are not contractual, exact implementation parameters may vary slightly for Paris 2024.

Commercial
Side by Side

Introduced by the IOC in the recent quadrennial, commercial side-by-sides were previously restricted in size, format and frequency. New for Paris 2024, the IOC guidelines have been relaxed to allow CBC Radio-Canada and our partners more flexibility to create a customized commercial opportunity of premium value to brands.

Squeeze
Backs

Familiar in North American sports broadcasting, Squeeze Backs allow branding and messaging a share of screen without obscuring the 16x9 format of the live camera coverage. The previously restrictive IOC Squeeze Back guidelines have been relaxed for Paris 2024 in order for CBC Radio-Canada and our partners to work more closely within live coverage.

Paid
Social Ads

CBC Radio-Canada offers a comprehensive suite of amplified programs, providing brands with an opportunity to reach a vast audience beyond CBC's organic fans and followers. By leveraging paid social media content, including sponsored posts, in-feed ads on TikTok, promoted tweets, boosted Facebook posts, and promoted Instagram stories, brands can maximize their visibility and extend their reach across social media platforms. This approach allows brands to target specific demographics or interests, connecting with potential customers and followers, making it a powerful way to drive brand awareness and engagement.

Achieve Stronger Results

Brands that leverage content integration in conjunction with commercial brandsell have the ability to boost their market recognition and increase the likelihood to buy.

Research conducted by IMI pre/post Olympic games, indicates that a combination of brandsell and content integration on CBC platforms produced greater results in the areas of brand recognition and consideration when compared to brandsell only.
