Dare Iced Coffee buys entire ad break on Nine for content series
Lion’s Dare Iced Coffee has taken over an entire ad break on Nine, with a branded content piece featuring comedian Ryan Shelton.
The 13-week campaign, which breaks tomorrow, will involve TV, radio and online, and aims to get consumers to upload their own everday dilemmas on the Dare Facebook page for the chance to win $30,000 and have their problem fixed on national TV.
“This campaign is a great example of real collaboration between the Dare Brand team at Lion, Starcom and MCM Media; and Ryan was the perfect creative to bring to life the concept,” said MCM group content director Sam Thompson.

I thought it was funny but im not sure its Branded Content if you buy an ad break. Isnt it just one long ad? I may be wrong.

Definitely entertaining, and great to see brands experimenting with different formats and lengths beyond the 30″ TVC.
Although, I tend to agree with Nat, it does feel a little like a long ad and the fact that it sits where you would normally watch ads, doesn’t really bring it into the editorial space that brand content can unlock.
However, it’s good fun, and I hope it does well!

McDonalds bought an entire program on Channel 7 a few weeks ago. An ad break is nothing!
