Easy advertising: When is the right time?

7th March 2017

EASY Advertising is somewhat of an oxymoron at a time where the diversification and digitalisation of how we advertise has consumed the entire creative.

Context and perception has been perpetually crucial to succeeding with your advertising, whether response or brand based.

However amid a time where the control of who consumes your ads and when, the timing of advertising has become more automated and to an extent easier.

The imperative focus is to collate or collaborate with broadcasters and media buyers who have the inventory necessary to execute a digital campaign.

By targeting specific individuals and not particular blocks of time, you can systematically control who views your ads, ensuring that you maximise ad efficiency and ROI.

Although the adversities of this technique include a limit on scale, which is consistently increased with TV, you can utilise the other means that have made TV the staple it is in terms of leading advertising effectiveness.

Brand response can lead to advertising being an easy experience in the long-term.

While DRTV is the most successful form of advertising in-terms of delivering the lowest cost-per-response, it is not as efficient as brand response advertising.

If delivered utilising the metrics that can distinguish your business from other brands: music, emotion, humour and entertainment you can create a campaign that becomes embedded in long-term memory.

To make your lives easy at a creative and analytic level, utilising brand response will, regardless of whether you use targeted advertising or traditional TV, deliver campaigns that can offer prolonged attribution and sharing potential.

Automation has made it easier for businesses to track the results of their advertising, however this in itself has been counter-productive for companies looking for prolonged business success.

With the tools available to measure how your consumers interact with your ads, you cannot use that to address why those who engage with your content did so.

Therefore it is the interpretation of ‘easy-life’ advertising your business seeks, to conclude a direct answer.
