Premium digital sales house, AD2ONE has added a key platform for advertisers to reach young children and their parents through a partnership deal with Cartoon Network in New Zealand.
The arrangement sees AD2ONE managing all advertising content for the TV channel’s website CartoonNetwork.co.nz.

CartoonNetwork.co.nz takes the entertainment experience further with additional content, games, videos and competitions. The site receives 54,000 unique visitors per month, delivering over 450,000 page views. “The website breaks through the screen and enables kids to immerse themselves in their favourite stories and interact with the characters they love”said Melissa Fitzgerald, Ad Sales Director - Cartoon Network ANZ. “Ben 10, The Amazing World of Gumball and Scooby Doo games are always a huge hit” Fitzgerald continued.
Lisa Ison, AD2ONE’s New Zealand Country Manger, says: “Cartoon Network adds to the extensive range of content partnerships held by AD2ONE, further expanding the opportunities we offer advertisers with popular brands they want to be associated with, broadening their reach each time. Each new property we partner with can be used as part of a creative execution – even though we reach a lot of eyeballs, we recognise good media planning is not just about the best reach or the highest frequency. Impact is always the key consideration.”
Turner Broadcasting System already has a reputation for working with clients to find creative executions. Now with AD2ONE on board, the opportunity is increased further for any advertiser wanting to reach young people in a fun setting.
