Why TV Advertising Still Matters

Despite the rise of digital platforms, TV advertising continues to hold significant weight for brands. According to a Thinkbox report, TV advertising scored 42% in terms of trust, compared to just 8% for radio and 6% for YouTube. Due to the rigorous standards and approvals that TV ads must pass through Clearcast before airing. With online streaming and video-on-demand (VOD) services on the rise, now is an opportune time to invest in TV media buying. These platforms provide valuable data on viewer habits, enabling advertisers to reach audiences more effectively than ever before.

TV Audience Measurement in the UK

In the UK, audience measurement is standardised by the Broadcasters’ Audience Research Board (BARB). They track viewership, offering insights into viewer behaviour, which allows advertisers to make informed decisions on where to allocate budgets, ensuring your TV media buying is as effective as possible.
