Editor's Notes
- #2 7 Killer facts about TV advertising Over the last few years there’s been a lot of intriguing research into how TV advertising works and why. It’s a big subject, so we thought it would help to collect all this good stuff together, condense it and arrange the headlines and supporting evidence into what we think are the 7 killer facts about TV advertising. This handy, nickable PowerPoint version comes complete with notes and links to further evidence. We think that all of this clearly shows why TV will continue to be absolutely central to the future of advertising. www.thinkbox.tv
- #3 There is reams and reams of evidence to demonstrate TV’s unparalleled effectiveness as an advertising medium but here are some key pieces.
- #5 TV continues to pay in the longer term, delivering 45% of its value in Years 2 & 3.
- #6 The PWC Study also showed that TV is the most effective generator of brand value and what distinguished the brand value leaders in every market we studied was a dominant TV share of voice
- #8 The study also revealed TV was the most efficient medium at increasing market share in relation to share of voice
- #9 It also showed that TV is getting more effective over time; it has increased its lead over all other media channels in each of the last three decades. In fact, the report concludes “don’t neglect TV. Far from being dead, TV advertising remains one of the most effective and efficient media. New technology and increased competition for viewers may actually be making TV more efficient, not less”
- #10 A bit of science behind this fact. TV is typically processed at a low involvement level, which means the content is less critically analysed but this makes it well suited to thematic or brand messages that need to be remembered for the long-term. Information which enters the memory through low involvement processing gets stored directly via the emotional centres of the brain straight to the long-term, implicit memory without any conscious filtering. TV is an incredibly effective way of increasing a set of associations around a brand. It literally hardwires brands into the brain.
- #13 Thinkbox’s sponsorship work ( TV sponsorship: a brand’s best friend , with Duckfoot research) showed that the associations linked to the sponsoring brand amongst fans of the programme were strongly related to the associations created by the programme itself http://www.thinkbox.tv/server/show/nav.1036
- #14 Thinkbox’s Engagement Study showed that it was ad liking – not recall or brand attribution – that had most relationship with brand perceptions and intention to purchase. This finding reflected the IPA Study conclusion that “it is liking of an ad, not traditional measures like recall or awareness, that is the best indicator of future brand performance” http://www.thinkbox.tv/server/show/nav.854 http://www.thinkbox.tv/server/show/nav.874
- #15 Over an hour more every week, that’s how much commercial broadcast TV we watch compared to 10 years ago, according to BARB. And don’t forget that this doesn’t include all the TV BARB doesn’t yet measure, like online or mobile. An hour more is the least we’re watching.
- #16 … and commercial viewing has grown consistently for a number of years Inds – 11 mins more per day compared to 10 years ago Abc1s – 11 mins more 16-24s – 1 min more 16-34s – 3 mins more HW CH – 16 mins more
- #17 Commercial impacts have consistently risen at an even higher rate, across all of the main demographic segments 2004 vs 2008 % increase Inds – 15% Abc1s – 19.1% 16-24s – 17.8% 16-34s – 6.2% HW CH – 8.8%
- #18 Touchpoints 2 (5,000 sample; ½ media usage monitored in real time; all media included) shows people spend far more time watching TV than with any other medium; and that TV has the highest level of increase per user of all media http://www.ipa.co.uk/Content/TouchPoints-Site-Home
- #19 Commercial TV fairs even better
- #20 And our media time differs little from 2005
- #21 If we compare time spent with each medium against their shares of display advertising revenues, TV is significantly undervalued).
- #22 No, it isn’t the internet, keen though today’s youth are on it. TV is the medium that young people spend the most time with. MTV and Microsoft research, along with Thinkbox’s own has shown how TV is young people’s favourite activity (along with listening to music) and the IPA’s Touchpoints 2 showed that young adults spend 2-3 times as much time watching television as they spend online
- #23 Touchpoints 2 shows that TV accounts for 47% of the media day of 15-24 year olds – compared to 26% for internet and 24% for radio – … http://www.ipa.co.uk/Content/TouchPoints-Site-Home
- #24 … and that young people have increased their time spent with TV compared to Touchpoints 1
- #25 Supporting Evidence Young people (16-24s OR 16-34s) are increasing their viewing to commercial television
- #26 Generation Whatever demonstrates that TV is their favourite activity for relaxing and when they are bored. Playing a DVD is their favourite activity when they are hanging out with friends, indicating the potential for on demand TV services. On all counts, TV was a preferred activity to going online http://www.thinkbox.tv/server/show/nav.851
- #27 Generation Whatever research identified a number of roles that TV plays in the lives of young people – ‘emotional central heating’, social currency, stature and legitimacy, and glamour & entertainment
- #28 The same research showed young adults talk about TV than any other (digital) medium
- #29 Young people are also far more positive about TV advertising than their older counterparts – they are 2 ½ times more likely to say they enjoy TV advertising and significantly more likely to say they want to buy the products being advertised and htat they talk about TV advertising with others Further links: The Secret Life of Students - http://www.thinkbox.tv/server/show/nav.852 TV and young people - http://www.thinkbox.tv/server/show/nav.977
- #30 The broadcasters are responsible for most of that growth via their own services – and the broadcasters now dominate this market
- #31 Technology is good news for TV in all sorts of ways. TV remains people’s favourite entertainment whatever the technology involved in delivering it. Whenever there is a major new technological change people often hail its arrival with the prediction that it will kill whatever existed previously. But it’s worth remembering, TV didn’t kill newspapers, video didn’t kill cinema and the ipod didn’t kill radio. What tends to happen with the arrival of new technologies is that things shift and change but the predictions of the demise of what was there before rarely come true.
- #32 Worried looks greeted the advent of digital television recorders, but the concern is proving unfounded. DTRs are great for TV; people end up watching more TV at normal speed and more ads. Only 10-15% of viewing is time-shifted and of that nearly half is still watched at normal speed. Thinkbox’s own research shows DTR’s change the way viewers feel about their television – and the advertising they now control – and it is all for the better. And DTRs let people pause or rewind ads they really like, or share them with others. According to the Skyview panel, when households acquire a DTR, they watch significantly more TV, but the majority (82%+) is still to live broadcast schedules – and as they only fast forward around 70% of the time, this means they watch more commercials at normal speed than they did before they got the DTR http://www.skymedia.co.uk/Audience-Insight/skyview.aspx
- #33 According to Duckfoot Researc h, even when ads are fast forwarded at 30x speed, recall is still around 2/3 of the level when they are played at normal speed
- #34 This is indicative of the fact that the technologies that are supposed to kill TV end up nurturing the medium. We have seen similar examples for IPTV (supposedly the death of the schedule – in reality people use it to keep up with the schedules!) and web TV (YouTube etc. were supposed to cannibalise TV audiences but instead act as an informal PR machine (e.g. Susan Boyle)
- #35 The internet is a wonderful thing for telly because it’s facilitating the watching of more TV. Here is a slide to help you navigate the difference between Web and IPTV. The catch all term is internet TV and that’s divided into Web TV and IPTV. Web TV comes to you from the open source world wide web.
- #36 Our recent Me-TV study shows that online TV viewing is one of the fastest growing activities on the web http://www.thinkbox.tv/server/show/nav.741
- #37 The broadcasters are responsible for most of that growth via their own services – and the broadcasters now dominate this market
- #38 Access is diversifying – we are seeing rapid growth in viewing TV at work, on mobile devices and in a range of situations BBC iPlayer, Youtube & ITV.com are on the podium of most ‘ever visited’ sites Repertoire of sites ever visited – 2.8 sites visited per user
- #39 However, online TV is also introducing many light TV viewers, who tend to be discoverers, to content they would not normally find time to watch – therefore bringing them back into the broadcast audience
- #40 Thinkbox’s recent TV + Online study , with the IAB (TV & Online: Better together), demonstrated that, for a significant proportion of the population, TV is often concurrently consumed with the laptop open and online, and people are increasingly ready and able to use it to find out more or communicate about the content they are watching on TV, both programming or advertising content. There are many examples of TV leading directly to online search, comparison and purchase and strong evidence that, without TV, online activity would be less effective TV and online study: http://www.thinkbox.tv/server/show/nav.1019
- #41 We saw in the study anecdotally how that can lead to people following up what they see on TV with immediate online action – via search, website visits, purchase – so that a brand can go from initial awareness to sale all within the same commercial break
- #42 They are generally more positive about TV advertising across all its roles, but particularly at the start of the consumer journey
- #43 Consequently, more of them say they have been persuaded to purchase online by a TV ad than by online advertising
- #44 Supporting Evidence Amongst the TV + Online sample (the 25% most digitally-enabled section of the population) concurrent consumption of TV and online is fast becoming a regular event – almost half of them do it at least once a day and two thirds once a week or more
- #45 TV is cultural glue. People love talking about TV, off- and online, almost as much as they love watching it. In fact, the only subjects we want to discuss more than TV are friends and family, according to Television Data Monitor. Just a furtive glance at the immense number of groups on Facebook dedicated to TV shows, or the responses that Guardian blogs on TV events receive, demonstrates its cultural importance.
- #46 TV has continually been the 3rd most talked about subject (after ‘family and friends’) across the 30 years lifespan of the Television Opinion Monitor
- #47 Most discussion about TV goes on when people are watching together – Thinkbox’s Engagement Study demonstrated just how important the shared viewing phenomenon is; which is good as it is growing (as more people congregate around the 42” flat screen in the main living room) and it accounts for an estimated 70% of viewing occasions http://www.thinkbox.tv/server/show/nav.854
- #48 There are numerous TV-related groups on Facebook. In July 2008, there were more than 50 Facebook groups dedicated to the ‘Cadbury’s Drumming Gorilla’, with combined membership of almost 100,000 people.
- #49 Marketing reported Alexandr the Meerkat had 350,000 fans. Programmes with significant FB fanbases include X Factor (200,000+ members)and Skins (550,000+ members)
- #50 So there you have it, 7 reasons why TV will continue to be so central to the future of advertising.
