Expert tips for buying media
For linear TV and radio, 15-second ads typically deliver greater reach and frequency, while also unlocking more bonus inventory from networks. In contrast, BVOD 30-second rates are often similar to 15-second rates — making 30-second ads the more effective choice.
Placing TV and radio ads first in break can noticeably lift performance.
Half-page newspaper adverts deliver strong page presence at an efficient rate.
Newspapers and magazines offer regional inserts to precisely target specific communities.
6m x 3m and 12m x 3m are the most common billboard formats. Billboard skins can be reused, saving on production costs.
