TV and Social: 10 ways to effectively boost your advertising strategy
The Asia-Pacific region will be home to more than two billion digital video viewers by 2022. Video streaming has officially entered the mainstream, coinciding with increased social media use around the globe. Meanwhile, the rise of users watching video content on smartphones is fuelling a fusion of mobile, TV, and digital. These changes in viewer habits have a tremendous impact on how brands can best reach their audiences.
Both TV and social advertising can and should work together to increase brand awareness and convert new customers.
Unsurprisingly, these consumer behaviors are reflected in market growth: a Dentsu report predicts a 9.7% uplift for the media and entertainment industry and an ad spend increase of 8% in the Asia-Pacific region. Moreover, where a large majority of users (86%) will happily watch ad-supported content as long as that keeps viewing free, this provides an excellent opportunity for advertisers, publishers, and agencies alike.
It’s nothing new that a multichannel approach to advertising is essential for success and that each individual channel has its advantages and limitations. When it comes to TV and social advertising, we’ve weighed up the pros and cons of each for a full comparison:
