After more than 10 episodes and millions of views, Tucker Carlson has landed his first advertiser for his Tucker on Twitter series.
According to a report from CNBC, PublicSq, described as “an online marketplace for companies with conservative values”, has signed a deal with Carlson paying him more than $1 million. PublicSq is the “starting point” for companies seeking to battle environmental, social, and governance policies, according to CNBC.
The company reportedly plans to go public later this month and is also planning on becoming an investor in Carlson’s planned new media company.
PublicSq’s investment into Carlson’s media company comes after a report from The Wall Street Journal claimed he was seeking “hundreds of millions” of dollars for his new venture.
Ads for the company will begin running on Carlson’s show in August, and will be the first major marketing push by PublicSq.
The reported plans for Carlson’s new media venture comes after he was reportedly given a cease-and-desist letter by Fox News last month. The network contends that Carlson remains under contract until December 31, 2024, and believes his agreement keeps his content exclusive to the company.
