Marathon creates additional revenue for new and returning shows by working with distributors and producers to integrate advertisers into programming, often beginning before the show ever airs.

Marathon is currently working with production companies such as MY Entertainment(Pros v. Joes) and Lion's Heart Entertainment (ACMA Awards) to identify appropriate pre-launch advertisers, integrating them into the creative process of upcoming shows.

Marathon pioneered the use of digital technology in branded entertainment, creating digital brand integrations for CBS, FOX, Warner Bros and others.
