So TV advertising spend must really be worth it, right?
8
In theory, TV certainly has some major advantages...
Huge reachEngagement “Showcase” platform
Undoubtedly, billions of dollars of sales have been triggered by TV advertising.

New TVCs in Dec ‘12 & Jan ‘13

...can you find your “Solid Yellow” TVC?

16
The big issue with TV advertising is the “clutter”!
17
Many TVCs don’t even effectively advertise the brand......they only advertise the category
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CL-irMyFalY
18
The Dove Men TVC is actually very, very good. But it works because it makes fun of other shampoo TVCs. Many shampoo TVCs have the “flowing hair”. It is a “cliché”. The brands in such cliché TVCs are almost interchangeable – the brand has
no connection with the story. People only remember “shampoo” and not Brand X.
This benefits the Market Leader
But means your Ad Spend has been wasted
People only remember the category & not the brand...

2/3Advertise the
category
We have tested over 350 TVCs with
$429,000,000 wasted TVC spend in Vietnam?

22
What’s your feeling?
23
Which TVCs are making the most impact?
Jumping around – viewer can’t focus on anything! Voice over – this is a TVC not a radio ad! Trying to appear youthful – but not really conveying anything Unlikely to be remembered – just generic
Clear story Amusing Engaging Point well made – positive impression of brand
24
An effective TVC is all about making anemotional connection...
25
And this is now possible to measure with
happiness surprise fear anger disgust sadness
Show the TV ad Watch the viewer Decode micro movements
26
Let’s look at this again – but with EMOTION!

28
Happiness Anger/Irritation
10%
“Happiness” peaks at about 10% - a very low score! “Anger/Irritation” amongst Men (blue line) peaks at over 40%! The G-Mobile TVC therefore is actually more irritating than it is good
40%
29
For Vietnamobile, a real connection is made!
Happiness
“Happiness” peaks at 60% for women! It really connects with women.
But even amongst Men (Blue line) the score hits peaks of 20% - which is still much better than G-Mobile.
60%

TVCs that are emotionally engaging “win” for you...
Cut Through – you get heard! (over 3000 TVCs in past 2 years!)
Memorable – stay in people’s minds long after campaign is over
Affinity – unlock the connection between your brand and purchasing
Brand Building – build the brand for longer term equity

This is fact, not fiction!
“Marketing in the Era of Accountability” by Les Binet & Peter Field 880 TVCs assessed from past 20 years Institute of Practitioners in Advertising (IPA) http://www.thinkbox.tv/server/show/nav.874
“The most effective [profit & growth] campaigns are those that rely primarily on emotional rather than rational models.”
“Emotionally based campaigns are not only likely to produce very
large business effects but also produce more of them, outperforming rational campaigns on every single business measure.”
32
Size of your media spend does have an impact. But for any given budget, it is the content that will give you the Return
On Investment.
Make sure you advertise your brand (and not just the category).
Make sure you are making an emotional connection.
$650 million is a lot of money.
Spend it wisely!!!
Advertising on TV can have powerful effects...
