Disclaimer: Hulu cannot approve or show video ads that use the “Hulu” name word mark or logo in any form, including, but not limited to, voiceover, promotional codes, or text overlay within a Hulu Ad Manager video advertisement. Because video commercials are not directly clickable on most devices, Call-to-Action buttons that look clickable and include copy such as “Learn More” or “Buy Now” are not allowed. URLs and hashtags are not accepted. QR Codes are not accepted.
