During the 2024 Canadian Country Music Awards (CCMA), CTV partnered with Megaphone TV to elevate audience participation and interactive sponsorship to new heights. CTV didn’t just want its audience to watch the CCMA — it wanted them to take control of the broadcast.
With the help of Megaphone TV’s interactive platform, fans voted on key aspects of country star MacKenzie Porter’s performance, including the song she would sing, the guitar she would play, and even where she would perform. This level of interactivity gave fans a personal stake in the show, making the CCMA experience more exciting and engaging.
Sponsored by Canada’s Second Largest Bank
The event’s key sponsor, TD Bank—Canada’s second-largest bank—gained unmatched exposure during the broadcast. TD Bank received frequent verbal mentions and a prime commercial spot, ensuring its brand was front and center throughout the event. By being woven into the interactive experience, TD Bank didn’t just advertise; they became part of the story, creating a deeper connection with viewers and gaining extended brand visibility.
