- Akoo is the largest social television network in America, delivering entertainment programming to more than 90 million high-value consumers each month in 161 of the nation’s premier shopping malls. Akoo is available in highly-trafficked central food courts, where affluent, active shoppers are immersed in the Akoo experience for an average of 30 minutes and have the ability to immediately act on retail transaction opportunities discovered on the network. Akoo’s patented interactive technology enables viewers to request on-demand content via mobile app, web app, or text messaging, resulting in consumer engagement and advertising effectiveness. Akoo’s connection with the media-elusive 18-24 year-old demographic is further strengthened by its rapidly growing network across top U.S. colleges and universities.
