Acclaimed marketing scientist, Professor Byron Sharp, tells us brands need to target the whole market if they want to grow and with a reach of 18 million Australians every week, TV generates fame and word-of-mouth on a scale like no other. Mass media is critical for marketing success and it doesn’t get any more mass than TV.

Today’s brands cannot afford to just focus on the short term. According to the godfathers of marketing effectiveness, Peter Field and Les Binet, short-term efforts need to be balanced with long-term brand building activities. Few mediums can deliver on both like TV can. Research shows TV has the ability to supercharge both ends of the funnel.

TV has long been the home of rich, narrative, evocative advertising – ads that tell stories while tugging at our heartstrings, stirring us to tears or making us smile. That’s because TV affords brands the time and space to tell a story that builds tension with a beginning, middle and a satisfying end. But here’s the best part – by triggering people’s emotions, you’ll drive 2.4 times the sales impact.

TV is the most effective media channel when indexed across the four key advertising categories of fast moving consumer goods, automotive, finance and e-commerce. In fact, research shows TV is twice as effective as the second most efficient channel delivering double the sales uplift from media spend.

Unlike other platforms where user generated content reigns supreme, TV offers a trusted, high-quality environment. With professionally produced and curated content, your brand is in good company on Australia’s most trusted medium.

Today there are more channels, devices and programs – and that’s just TV! The much-loved TV in the corner of the living room is having babies. From the phone in your pocket to the tablet in your hand, TV is literally everywhere, anytime.
