Megaphone TV’s Interactive30s are built for live events. These 30-second interactive ad units combine the reach of broadcast with real-time viewer participation, making them perfect for driving ticket sales, capturing leads, and delivering a measurable ROI for advertisers.
Live event sponsorship is booming, but local stations need more than traditional ads to capture that revenue. Brands want engagement, not just impressions. Audiences expect to participate, not just watch passively. That’s where Megaphone TV comes in.
As the #1 interactive sponsorship platform for media companies, Megaphone TV’s Interactive30s are helping stations secure larger ad packages, drive ticket sales, and deliver measurable ROI.
These 30-second interactive commercials blend sponsor branding with real-time viewer participation and lead capture. From concerts and fairs to sporting events and tourism campaigns, Interactive30s turn airtime into action.
Why It Works: Local Stations + Live Events = A Perfect Fit
Live events are expected to generate billions in advertising and sponsorship revenue in 2025. BIA Advisory Services reports local stations already capture nearly $5 billion annually from seasonal and event-driven campaigns. But much of the estimated $16 billion in live event ad spend still flows to digital and social platforms.
Interactive30s help local stations win back that spend. By pairing broadcast reach with real-time viewer interaction and lead generation, Megaphone TV enables media companies to deliver the ROI sponsors demand.
