Get ready for an exclusive performance like no other! Demi Lovato is taking over Roku City, and it's a game-changer for music fans and artists alike.
Roku, the innovative streaming platform, is transforming its iconic Roku City screensaver into a virtual stage, and they've chosen Demi Lovato to kick things off with a bang. But here's where it gets interesting: this isn't just a regular concert. Lovato will be performing her new single, "Here All Night," from her upcoming album "It's Not That Deep," as well as a special cover of "I Wanna Dance with Somebody."
To access this unique experience, Roku users can simply select an interactive Roku City building, and they'll be transported to the heart of the performance. And that's not all - Roku is also treating fans to behind-the-scenes footage, exclusive photos, and even a pre-save option for Lovato's highly anticipated album.
In her own words, Demi Lovato expressed her excitement: "I'm thrilled to partner with Roku once again to give fans a live taste of my new music era. 'It's Not That Deep' captures the electric energy I'm feeling about life right now, and I can't wait to share it with everyone Live from Roku City."
The production of "Live From Roku City Featuring Demi Lovato" was a collaborative effort, with Good World Creative and London Alley taking the lead, and Hannah Lux Davis directing. Brandon Bonfiglio served as executive producer, with Brian Tannenbaum, head of Roku Originals, overseeing the entire experience for Roku.
This activation marks a significant step forward for Roku, building upon their introduction of advertising to Roku City back in 2023. Since then, brands like McDonald's and Disney World have utilized the screensaver for their own creative campaigns.
And this is the part most people miss: music activations on virtual platforms are a natural evolution, especially considering the rise of virtual concerts in recent years. Platforms like Fortnite and Roblox have hosted an array of artists, from Travis Scott to Ariana Grande and Lil Nas X, showcasing the potential for immersive musical experiences.
Charlie Collier, president of Roku Media, sums it up perfectly: "With 'Live from Roku City,' we're doubling down on what makes our platform special. Roku offers TV's broadest reach and, with the addition of original video storytelling in Roku City, we're providing TV's biggest stage. Demi Lovato is an artist who embodies authenticity and dedication to her fans, and we're excited to showcase that in new and unique ways on our platform."
