“We are pleased to continue to be a longstanding strategic partner for NBCSports,” said Adam Singolda, CEO and Founder, Taboola. “For more than seven years, we’ve been fortunate to work alongside them to build more engaged audiences and unlock new ways to monetize. By implementing Taboola’s mid article video solution with this deal, NBCSports will be able to achieve many different business objectives, such as promoting strategic campaigns, sending readers to other relevant content, driving subscriptions and ecommerce initiatives, or promoting viewership of their owned video content.”
