Ad Selector

Hulu’s Ad Selector allows the user to choose their ad experience by selecting the ad they want to view. The user will be presented with two or three video options. Once a selection is made, the user will be presented with the commercial of their choice. If no selection is made after 15 seconds, one video in the unit will be randomly selected to play.
