Insights

Spectrum Reach’s expanded Waymark partnership scales AI video ad production, easing TV access for local advertisers but lacks financial detail.

The partnership combines Spectrum Reach distribution and in-house creative services with Waymark AI tools to produce local TV commercials at scale, evidenced by over 15,000 campaigns and ongoing pilots such as Waymark Cinematic noted on Oct. 23, 2025. The offering reduces production friction with features like Click to Edit and aims to lower cost and time barriers for small advertisers.

Key dependencies and risks include measurement of ad performance and actual ROI, neither of which are disclosed here, and the pilot status of premium features which limits wide availability. Watch adoption metrics, campaign performance data, and rollout timing for Waymark Cinematic and Click to Edit over the next 3–12 months to assess commercial impact on local revenue and ad load.

• New tools like Click to Edit and Waymark Cinematic make it even easier to navigate AI-driven ad creation, making high-quality TV advertising accessible to more local businesses.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- When Fun Spot America, a group of amusement parks based in Orlando, Florida, wanted to spotlight a season pass promotion, it quickly realized that a great deal alone wouldn't be enough to attract new roller coaster enthusiasts – it needed something more visible and engaging. So, it teamed up with Spectrum Reach to create a unique and eye-catching ad through Spectrum's partnership with Waymark, the AI-driven video startup company.

Using video from Spectrum Reach's in-house creative agency, Kernel, and Waymark's newly developed premium offering, Waymark Cinematic, which Spectrum is currently testing in its markets, Fun Spot America created a high-quality, scalable video ad that leverages generative AI to accelerate production while delivering narrative storytelling, impressive visuals, dynamically mixed audio and even an AI-generated Florida alligator.

"As an early adopter of Waymark Cinematic, and a long-time Spectrum Reach client, I was very intrigued to learn how quickly they would be able to produce a high-quality broadcast video," said John Arie Jr., CEO at Fun Spot America. "The final product, which used a blend of Waymark's AI and creative footage from Kernel created by Spectrum Reach, exceeded our expectations; the quality felt like something that you'd see in a movie. Plus, we got to use cutting-edge technology to bring a Florida favorite, the alligator, to life, allowing us to further stand out from the competition."

Fun Spot America's commercial is just one of over 15,000 ads created since Spectrum Reach and Waymark announced a partnership in early 2023. From amusement parks to professional offices, the powerful combination of Spectrum Reach and Waymark's AI-driven ad creation tool has introduced thousands of small business owners nationwide to not only the effectiveness but also the affordability of local TV advertising. And with new capabilities like Click to Edit, which allows users to edit text and visual elements with a simple click on the video, the process of creating a TV ad is even easier and more accessible to advertisers of all sizes.

"Our partnership with Waymark gives small businesses the opportunity to get in on TV advertising without the complexity that used to come with it," said Michael Guth, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Spectrum Reach. "Creating a polished commercial is quick, affordable and accessible – helping local businesses better stand out in their communities."

Local businesses Already Seeing Results
Stories like Fun Spot America's are playing out in communities across the country. With the support of Spectrum Reach and Waymark's offerings, local advertisers are driving growth, building stronger connections with their customers and achieving advertising goals once reserved for larger brands. For Argus Technical Services, a Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based staffing agency specializing in the placement of administrative, skilled trades, manufacturing and engineering professionals, the high TV-quality look it could achieve with a Spectrum Reach-Waymark commercial was a difference maker.

"Advertising plays a pivotal role in attracting talent and reinforcing our industry credibility," said Sean Sayrs, President at Argus Technical Services. "It's crucial that our ads not only reflect our professionalism but also foster a strong connection with our local community. Working with Spectrum Reach and Waymark allowed us to create those ads, in budget, ultimately connecting us with more candidates."
