Ed Georger, EVP, ad sales Hallmark Channel: “In 2015 we made great progress in the automotive, theatrical and telco categories and our plan is to expand in that space going forward. We also plan to continue delivering the audience that incumbent categories  including retail, packaged goods, and pharmaceutical  value.”

Amy Hyland, EVP ad sales, Viacom Kids & Family: “We’ve already seen success with categories like auto, beauty, restaurants, retail and fashion.Our returning slate of shows are hits.As a result there is great potential for new categories to align with this roster of talent and unique brand equity.

We have seen and continue to see more advertisers specifically targeting the outdoor enthusiast from categories that have not traditionally been active in this space. We’re writing business with virtually every category targeting men or adults. What we’re aiming to do now is to expand our ad rosters within each of those categories.”

Bill Rosalie, SVP ad sales, Reelz: “With the dramatic growth of our audience and strategic growth in our demo, theatrical is a natural for us. With our Real lives. Real stories. Real celebrities. programming we continue to see growth in auto as well as health, beauty and fashion.”
