Starting today, The CW network creating social media videos -- weekly recaps, highlights, via fan tweets and CW sneak peek content -- for a number of its shows.

This includes "Supergirl," "The Flash," "Arrow," "DC's Legends of Tomorrow" and "Supernatural." Ford Motor advertising will appear on the videos, which will be posted on the network’s Twitter accounts. 

CW says the deal will leverage online content to the network’ most popular series, where Ford can join the social media conversation. The network says this is part of its Social Convergence sales strategy, connecting brands to The CW's audience.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

But Mike Park, director of content partnerships and the Twitter Amplify program at Twitter, says in reports that there was "nothing at this scale or nothing at this size" in its entertainment category so far.

The year-long Twitter “upfront” deal was tied to The CW’s traditional TV advertising upfront deal-making back in June. Twitter Amplify looks to tie TV networks and TV advertisers with video content on Twitter.

Twitter Amplify has done a number of deals in the recent past, including with NFL's “Thursday Night Football” on CBS; McDonald’s, Verizon, and Microsoft struck NFL Twitter deals. A recent deal tied Twitter Amplify with Bloomberg's pre- and post-presidential debate coverage on Sept. 26.

The three-year-old effort, Twitter Amplify, has also had many partnerships with other TV networks/media companies, including BBC America, Fox, Discovery Channel, Vevo, Vice Media, Fuse and The Weather Channel.
