TELEVISION

TV advertising is still the leading advertising format, used to convey a paid message on television which typically promotes a product, brand or service. Our media planners have an innate understanding of audiences and their daily media habits, including their preferred device, whether it be on a TV set or a Mobile phone. We use a combination of Direct response TV, which remains one of the most commonly used strategies for businesses and brands globally, Broadcaster Video On Demand, TV Sponsorship and Product Placement.

By utilising the various audience research data pre-campaign, we can identify who and where our target audiences are and then strategically plan how we are going to reach them. We can track and optimise TV campaigns in order to find out exactly what is working and what’s not, by using an attribution, spot-for-spot, TV tracking system that gives us insight into the performance of response-driven campaigns. This insight can identify trends, opportunities, underperformance and what steps to take to increase efficiency.

OUT OF HOME

Out-of-home (OOH) advertising reaches consumers when they are “on the go” in public places, in transit, waiting and/or in specific commercial locations, such as in a retail venue. Billboard advertising is a traditional OOH format, with roadside billboards remaining the predominant form, but there has been a significant growth in digital OOH in recent years, as it is easy and less costly.

Many DOOH solutions are already being used in previously traditional spaces, for example with Street OOH, which is mainly seen in urban centers, from bus shelters, to news-stands, malls and distributed across place-based networks in venues. Transit advertising also offers a combination of static and digital sites at airports, buses, subway advertising, truck-side, food trucks and taxis.

Location-based advertising (LBA) integrates mobile advertising with location-based services and can be used very effectively in conjunction with OOH, especially DOOH. The technology is used to pinpoint consumers location and provide location-specific advertisements on their mobile devices. Unlike other traditional media, LBA can also be used to provide research that can be used to tailor future offers.

RADIO

The radio landscape has reinvented itself dramatically, tapping into the broader resurgence of audio as a marketing channel, the digitisation of radio is fuelling greater diversification within the industry, enabling the rise of more niche stations. Radio stations offering advertisers an array of audiences and segments, from online radio, podcasts, audio channels such as smart speakers, app based radio, broadcast, including AM/FM and satellite, community, campus, hospital and even retail radio.

Radio will continue to modernise in a way that helps brands reach new audiences, to reinforce its position as a relevant and reliable advertising medium. So whether it’s a traditional radio spot, sponsorship, live reads, competitions, outside broadcast and even social partnership opportunities, such as Influencers in the way of RJ’s representing your brand, we know this medium like the back of our hands and how best to make it work for you.

Radio is still a very popular medium, outperforming press, and is a relatively easy way to get your messages out instantly. It is a great medium for targeting specific niche audiences, for call to action and event announcements, whether it be a sale, a music concert, a brand activation or an in-store promotion. If you would like to know the benefits of using radio to support your next campaign, talk to us about the best omni-channel strategy for your brand.

PRINT

Publishing (Print & Press) still has its own unique audiences and through using a combination of both on- and offline, even sharing content with their social audiences, still tends to be more appropriate than other mediums when it comes to some specific target markets, products or services. While print media is no longer necessarily the first option for many businesses, it does play a critical role for specific verticals and/or marketing categories.

Communication to the readers, followers and fans of Print and Press titles, needs to be tailored around them, the audience. Advertising through using a combination of online and traditional print, press dailies, including community press, can be very effective if you use a combination of Brand, Advertorial, Product Placement, Inserts, Bagging and Sampling, and other opportunities for your brand to reach the right audience with the right message.

CINEMA

Although cinema viewership and attendance has dropped off slightly over the last 5 years, it is enjoying a bit of a resurgence, and it still delivers your message to a captive audience that is qualified and quantified. Cinema-goers, in the majority, agree that it is all about the entertainment, it’s a night out with family and friends and the best way to experience a film. The peak day for visiting the cinema is still Saturday, so it’s an opportunity for brands to communicate and engage audiences when they are happy, relaxed and feeling positive.

The big screen can use full sight, sound and motion to increase ad recall. Unlike radio, cinema is not reliant on great frequency to have effect, once with a good commercial will engage the audience. Then consider additional opportunities, the online audience, social followers and fans, augmented reality or theatre, display advertising on screens in foyer areas, activations and even advertising on the popcorn boxes, which all add up to provide cinema-goers a fully immersive experience, especially when used in combination and/or in conjunction with a focused OOH campaign that is catchment area focused.
