Roku | February 13, 2023
Roku, the leading TV streaming platform in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and DoorDash, the leading local commerce platform, have announced a multi-year agreement to enhance the TV viewing experience and provide users with new ways to reach their favorite restaurants and more.
The partnership includes the following:
Complimentary DashPass: New and current Roku account members with a streaming or smart home device may get six months of DashPass for free. DoorDash's membership program provides customers with free delivery on purchases from thousands of restaurants, grocery shops, convenience stores, and retail outlets around the country.
Shoppable Ad Offers: DoorDash will be the sole marketplace ad solution partner for DoorDash U.S. restaurants and supermarkets that purchase interactive shoppable advertisements on Roku during the first year of the agreement. This first-of-its-kind relationship enables DoorDash merchants to include unique click-to-order offers in their Roku advertisements. In addition, restaurant marketers may now collaborate with DoorDash and Roku to attribute, target, and measure TV streaming advertisements on Roku.
DoorDash merchant partners may advertise on Roku directly. The consumer interacts with the TV ad offer, receives the promotion through SMS/email, and is sent immediately to the retailer inside the DoorDash app to redeem. With this connection, companies can simply assess and manage ROI from start to finish. Wendy's®, a longtime DoorDash partner, is doubling down on digital acceleration as a key strategy and teaming up with DoorDash and Roku to pioneer this new experience, providing freshly produced food to fans with even more ease. Roku subscribers who watch Wendy's ads will get $5 off any purchase of $15 or more at Wendy's.

MobileFuse, a leading digital advertising platform, has released a new mobile software development kit (SDK), mediation adapters, and a proprietary video player. These tools are designed to reduce friction and allow mobile app publishers and mediation platforms to access MobileFuse's premium inventory and increase revenue. This will help mobile app publishers and mediation platforms because it will give them access to MobileFuse's premium inventory and cut down on the costs of making their own tools.
The MobileFuse SDK has reportedly allowed publishing partners to double fill rates and increase eCPMs by 20% or more. The SDK has duoBid, which lets advertisers run video ads in larger static banner inventory. It also has a proprietary video player with full VAST capabilities, support for rich media, lightweight technology, and support for the latest mobile technologies. With the help of these tools, publishers and mediation platforms have been able to make a lot more money and make more money from what they make.
MobileFuse's SDK, integrated through an AppLovin MAX Custom Adapter, has yielded immediate success for our app. The SDK is generating higher fill rates, eCPM, CTR, and five times more revenue on a similar amount of bid requests than our oRTB connection. The implementation process was easy, and their team was responsive and always willing to help along the way."
Amy Nicole Hernandez, CFO and VP of Business Operations at TextMe
