Scoopz is NewsBreak’s premium short-form content placement, currently in beta, designed to deliver high-impact visibility for advertisers within swipeable content experiences.
Overview
Scoopz is NewsBreak’s short-form, video-forward content environment that offers advertisers a unique way to reach users who are actively browsing quick, snackable stories. As part of the broader NewsBreak Ads ecosystem, Scoopz provides additional inventory that complements your existing NewsBreak placements.
Advertisers can use Scoopz to extend reach, diversify their media mix, and appear in a more immersive experience that users already enjoy engaging with. Scoopz placements use the same NewsBreak Ads Manager features, measurement, and delivery logic to keep setup simple and familiar.
