Have you heard about the TV ad that’s taking the advertising world by storm? Let’s talk addressable television advertising.

Addressable Television Advertising to Deliver Bonanza Results for Marketers

What are Addressable Television Ads?

According to Google, addressable television advertising is,

The ability to show different ads to different households while they are watching the same program. With the help of addressable advertising, advertisers can move beyond large-scale traditional TV ad buys to focus on relevance and impact.

In short: addressable television allows your client to get their ads to consumers who the ads are more likely to resonate with. Not only that, Google says that addressable television offers enhanced attribution and measurement. So, you and your client will have access to data that will give you a better understanding of how the ads are performing (e.g., engagement, brand lift and conversions).

A Proven Opportunity

Now, your client may be thinking, “TV advertising’s effectiveness has been slowly declining for years. Why should I care about this type of TV ad?” The answer is: Not only are addressable TV ads a beloved method by those who use them, they’re also fairly under-utilized at the moment, giving your client multiple opportunities to rise above the competition.

A method as effective as addressable television advertising isn’t going to be under-utilized for long. According to a report by Go Addressable, 50% of advertisers plan to start using addressable television in 2024. That leaves another 50% who aren’t, so there’s still time to get ahead of your client’s competition in this field.

Creating Super Effective Addressable Television Ads
