For marketers wondering how to advertise on TV, the answer lies in a
strategic combination of placements including traditional cable TV and streaming.

Cable TV + Streaming = Multiscreen TV

For businesses seeking to build their brands and increase ad performance, multiscreen TV advertising campaigns are key. They enable brands to achieve reach and results using traditional cable television as the foundation and streaming as a supplement to engage harder-to-reach viewers. In fact, streaming impressions are 4.6X more likely to reach light and no-tv HHs.

HOW TO ADVERTISE ON TV

Brand and Performance Marketing

Navigating the nuances and strengths of different marketing strategies is crucial for long-term success.
It is critical to find the right balance of brand and performance marketing.

Performance Marketing vs. Brand Marketing

Performance marketing is focused on generating immediate, narrowly targeted consumer actions.

  • Designed to prompt a direct response and often target consumers ready to purchase.
  • Effective for short-term gains, activating customers who were already in-market and ready to buy.

Brand marketing, on the other hand, is about connecting with all potential customers throughout the customer journey, from base awareness to final action.

  • Nurtures value, recognition, and affinity over time.
  • Creates consistency and ongoing presence in the market, ensuring that a brand remains top-of-mind for consumers now and in the future.

Multiscreen TV advertising is an effective vehicle for brand marketing, allowing brands to reach audiences
at every part of the funnel in memorable ways.
