Los Angeles – Pluto TV, the leading free streaming television service in the U.S., is rolling out a series of key initiatives in an ongoing effort to enhance user experience and increase brand awareness and resonance amongst consumers.

Pluto TV today announced the launch of a new brand identity and the company's largest ever consumer marketing campaign, highlighting Pluto TV's ease of use and zero cost to consumers with a new brand tagline: "Drop In. It's Free."

Paired with the new campaign is the release of Project Venetia, Pluto TV's most significant product upgrade in years, delivering new features and design changes that further enhance the platform's ease of access to premium entertainment.

CAMPAIGN
The "Drop In" campaign, launched today, features a :30 second commercial* that will blitz late-nite programming, an out-of-home campaign in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Houston, connected TV and streaming audio takeovers, digital and social activations, and in-theater advertising. The campaign was developed in partnership with LA-based advertising agency 72andSunny with media planning and buying by Mediahub.

The parallel development of a new interface design and brand campaign inspired a major evolution in the Pluto TV brand identity, including a new logo, and motion-inspired design elements that evoke the feeling of being transported to Pluto TV. The new identity is rolling out across platform, on-air and marketing touchpoints over the coming weeks, and was created in partnership with DixonBaxi, a brand and design consultancy out of London, U.K.
