Aussie Campaign Shows How Online Adds Impact To TV

Categories: Data Trends    ||    Posted on: March 11, 2013

Research in Australia has confirmed what we’ve known for some time – that online video can extend the coverage of a free to air TV campaigns. What was surprising is the extent to which online helps with impact.

The study by Millward Brown, reported in Marketing Magazine, used cookies and a media consumption survey to follow television and online viewing habits. These were then related to the media spot plan for a new FMCG product that was launching in Australia. It found that the inclusion of online video added 2 percent to the reach of the campaign. That might not sound like a lot, but the advertiser would have to spend an extra 12 percent on TV to reach the same audience. More significantly it boosted the impressions amongst the 38 percent of the campaign’s target who watched little or no TV.

It’s yet another survey showing the strength of combining online video and TV, treating them as part of a single cohesive campaign. The Millward Brown research showed that adding online video increased the impact of product awareness by 30 percent. It’s not surprising given how a combined campaign provides limitless new creative ways to engage the audience. In the olden days people used to sell TV/radio and newspapers together: the electronic media created awareness, the newspapers filled in with more information. Now online has taken over the role of the newspaper, but in a much more personalised way.

The doom-sayers have been out for some time predicting the demise of traditional TV. It started with the invention of the VCR: we could watch what we wanted, when we wanted, provided we could figure out how to program the damned thing. Of course, TV survived and grew bigger, in every sense – the choice, our consumption and the size of the sets. But the Mayan-like predictions that TV will die have gathered pace since we started watching video online.

It’s true that Aussie TV companies have been struggling financially, but that’s reflected across all media sectors right now. It’s also because they haven’t adapted to the new opportunities ahead with integrated cross platform video sales.

Categories: Industry News    ||    Posted on: October 23, 2012

Almost from the day the online video was born, people have been talking about it converging with TV. It’s taken a while, but 2012 looks set to go down as the year it started to become reality.

Until now, online video has largely been separate to big screen viewing. High-definition TV sets have traditionally been used to watch free-to-air and subscription TV, as well DVDs and Blu-Rays. Whereas, online videos were the domain of our computer screens, viewed by younger members of the family. But that’s changing!

Screen Australia’s 2012 report: “Beyond the Box Office; Understanding Audiences in a Multi-Screen World,” explores just how skewed the online video audience currently is.
