Product placement
Spectrum: (a) ACTS — it is identified as a "proud partner" of the team in the context of a promotional video for the team's postseason run, and the creator handle/bio link identifies it as the service provider.

Tampa Bay Rays: (a) ACTS — the team is the subject of the promotional content, and the video is designed to build excitement for their postseason performance.
