AI-driven Scene Intelligence™ integrates DECKED into storylines across the first two episodes; series airs
Sunday nights on CBS and streams on Paramount+
CUPERTINO, Calif., Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ryff, a leader in virtual product placement (VPP) and in-scene advertising, today announced that its Scene Intelligence™ technology is powering virtual brand integrations in the new television series The Road, airing Sunday nights on CBS and available to stream on Paramount+. The first two episodes feature DECKED, the modular truck-bed storage system, appearing naturally within the show’s narrative through a mix of on-set use and AI-driven virtual placements.
The Road follows up-and-coming country artists as they travel between venues, rehearse, and perform, an authentic backdrop for DECKED’s audience of hard-working, outdoors-loving truck owners. Using Ryff’s Scene Intelligence™, DECKED appears in context, such as moments when artists handle gear and load out for shows. This creates recognition without interrupting the story.
“Viewers don’t want ads, they want immersion,” said Steve Cox, CEO of Ryff. “With Scene Intelligence, we read the composition and emotional arc of each scene to place brands that belong there. DECKED’s integrations in The Road showcase how VPP can educate, inspire, and build affinity in the exact moments audiences care about.”
“At DECKED, our mission is to organize America, one truck at a time,” said Bridget Noonan, Sr. Brand Director at DECKED. “The Road was the perfect fit because its traveling musicians embody the same hard-working, road-tested spirit as our customers. Partnering with Ryff allowed us to combine real and virtual placements in a way that feels authentic and true to our brand.”
The collaboration between Ryff and DECKED brings together narrative-fit moments and seamless virtual integrations that complement the show’s authentic storytelling. Scenes where artists manage equipment provided opportunities to show how DECKED’s drawer systems and accessories keep life on tour organized. Ryff’s technology extended those moments with subtle contextual placements that reinforced the brand’s message while maintaining the integrity of the production. DECKED will measure results across branded search, social engagement, and audience chatter, with the goal of translating that attention into long-term brand trust and sales growth.
Traditional placement can be limited by production schedules and long post-cycles. Ryff’s AI-powered approach allows brands to integrate into new or existing content—after the cameras stop rolling—matching each placement to creative context and campaign goals for maximum relevance and efficiency.
The Road airs Sundays on CBS and streams on Paramount+. The first two episodes are available now.
