I didn’t really know what to expect when I started watching Creamerie but without even realising I had watched the first 3 episodes in one session. Creamerie is a dramatic dystopian comedy that is set eight years after a plague has killed 99% of all the men in the world, and follows the story of three women who run a dairy farm who accidentally run over the last surviving male on the planet. Creamerie has lots of recognisable kiwi faces throughout and is darkly funny, bizarre, brilliant and is a clever series that should be added to every ones watch list.

Future of Television: Simulcast

Simulcast is the live feeds of TVNZ linear channels for TVNZ 1, 2 and DUKE viewed via the TVNZ OnDemand platform.

Via simulcast we place digital ads based on specific viewer attributes such as age, gender and geo to deliver more relevant ads, which can be measured and reported against. Ad Insertion into Simulcast: How Does It Work?

Five seconds before a break, an ad call is made to find ads that are targeted to the logged in user. Ads are stitched together and delivered to mimic a TV like viewing experience. Viewers will only see a bespoke ad break if we can fill it within eight seconds of the show resuming, with a short channel ident completing the break. If there are not enough ads to fill a whole break, the viewer will see broadcast TV advertising. To protect sponsorships, First in Break and Last in Break ads are not impacted Ad Insertion. Simulcast Ad Insertion

Available Programmatic & Direct Simulcast Ad Insertion is the best of both worlds. Combining the can’t-miss moments of Live TV with the addressability and measurability of digital Durations available: 15 seconds or more (longer durations encouraged) Targeting: Age, Gender, Frequency Capping, Channel & Time Benefits: Non-skippable video inventory, long duration cost effective platform

TV will continue to be a powerful tool for advertisers

Connected TV advertising was a beneficiary of pandemic trends and remains one of digital advertising’s fastest-growing channels.

Not only has CTV advertising grown throughout the pandemic, but it also rose at rates that were among the fastest for any significant sector of the US digital ad market.

We estimate CTV investments in the US grew by 40.6% year over year in 2020, to more than $9 billion. Growth will accelerate this year as spending reaches $13.41 billion—a figure that will more than double by the end of our forecast period in 2025.

Although how an ad gets to a TV screen may change, TV will continue to be a powerful tool for marketers.

Premium Content Matters

‘ThinkPremiumDigital’ Australia looked into whether premium environments deliver better results. They asked: ‘What sales impact does ad inventory within premium digital generate versus run of internet?’

What do we know? Memory builds brands: When people are consuming information & entertainment, memory pathways are more open to brand messages. Ads that command attention and become embedded in memory influence attitudes and decisions along the path to purchase1

What did we learn? Ads placed in premium environments are more effective.

THERE ARE 3 STAGES TO MEMORY

Phase one takeout Premium matters Premium display and video placements drive 2.4x better recall and 1.6x brand lift compared to run of internet. This is even more pronounced for light buyers, the most important audience for brand growth with premium display and video placements delivering 3 times the recall and 2.8x the brand lift compared to run of internet.

Premium display = premium impact Premium display alone generates 3.5x the brand recall compared to display across run of internet sites.

Short-form video retakes its rightful place Short form in premium environments offers 1.8x better recall and 2.8x the brand lift than short-form video on run of the internet. While short-form video in premium environments delivers 1.8x higher recall than Facebook video.
