“At Roku, it’s simple: we love TV. We have believed since our founding in 2002 that all TV will be streamed, and we have been leaders in the space ever since,” said Mustafa Ozgen, GM of Account Acquisition at Roku. “Our campaign, 'Ok, Roku does that.’ is based on our drive to make TV streaming easy, accessible, and affordable. As both Roku and TV streaming have grown, we have added more content like news and sports, we've launched new products like the Streambar™, the Roku® Streaming Stick™ 4K, and worked with TV brand partners to launch Roku TV models, and we’ve built new features like private listening. All of this together creates a great TV experience.”

The hero of the campaign is a 60 second creative look back in time. Over the course of history, seemingly simple innovations have transformed the world and how people navigate it. The launch commercial moves through a short history of transformative innovations; culminating in the decade of streaming. Sometimes the best ideas are often the simplest. Like streaming made easy — this was the inspiration behind “Ok, Roku does that.”

“We are witnessing a fundamental change in how consumers engage with content and entertainment, and that shift has been led in large part by Roku,” said Ellie Bamford, SVP, Global Head of Media & Connections at R/GA, Roku’s agency partner for the campaign. “In this campaign we wanted to create an emotional connection that highlights the innovation and leadership Roku has provided in streaming. We believe we’ve achieved that with our great partners at Roku in an opportunity within one of the hottest industries.”

Additional video advertisements are focused on driving awareness for Roku TV™ models. Roku TV models offer a simplified aesthetic in a home theater as all they require is power and a Wi-Fi connection and they are incredibly easy to set up and use, from the tech savvy to the novice, and continuously improve over time with regular software updates. Features highlighted include private listening, and the vast amount of free content available on The Roku Channel.

Out-of-home and social media campaign elements will play on the same theme as “Ok, Roku does that.” and be on display in major cities around the country including Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal. Roku will also use OneView™, our ad buying platform built for TV streaming, to manage the digital portion of the campaign across desktop, mobile, and TV streaming.

The objective of the campaign is to create long term brand awareness for Roku and future streamers as consumers begin to think about holiday spending. The Roku State of Canadian Streaming survey finds half of Canadian streamers (50 per cent) reported using three or more streaming services, a six per cent increase year-over-year which underpins the timeliness of the “Ok, Roku does that.” campaign.
