With TV having the largest and broadest audience of all mediums, brands are still spending thousands - if not millions - of dollars for commercial ad space. We believe there is a smarter way to spend large marketing dollars on television - switching from traditional TV to advanced TV. Leap (amp), a media amplification agency, put together this report to help brands understand how to make their marketing budget matter more when advertising on TV mediums.

Traditional TV

WHAT IS TRADITIONAL TV?


Advertising on TV has long been the best way for marketers to reach a larger number of people at one time. While it is still an impressive medium, challenges are beginning to arise.

WHAT’S WORKING


TRUSTWORTHINESS & PRESTIGE: Marketers and consumers alike, still view television advertising as more trustworthy vs. other traditional mediums such as radio, or out of home.


LARGE REACH: Traditional broadcast television still delivers as the largest mass-awareness available in a single buy.


GATHERING A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE: Traditional television users are in decline, but those using these services are more likely to be single-screen users

WHAT’S NOT WORKING


COST: Aside from Super Bowl ads, the average reach to cost ratio is substantially higher for traditional TV.


TARGETING: Historically, hyper-targeting traditional TV ads has been very limited. Programmatic options are growing but are new to the space.


OPTIMIZING AND TRACKING CONVERSION IS LIMITED: Unlike digital media, we cannot optimize campaigns for conversions, such as walk-in traffic. These studies are available, and significantly more expensive than their digital alternative.
