We\u2019ve long known about the explosive rise of time spent on mobile devices, and we all recognize that digital entertainment formats continue to become more prominent within the consumer\u2019s life \u2013 with time spent on podcasts, music streaming and TV streaming all posting year-on-year growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consumers are devoting their time to an ever-more diverse portfolio of devices and formats, so it can be tempting to assume that traditional formats must have lost some of their shine; mass digitization during the pandemic has only fueled these assumptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that eyeballs are spread across more screens and more places, how could longer-established formats continue to command the same level of attention? And by extension, how could the ads they carry still wield the same efficacy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a logical theory, but what does the data say?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Diversifying media isn&rsquo;t killing TV<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalwebindex.com\/reports\/entertainment\">Linear\/broadcast TV<\/a> has certainly been under pressure, with a gentle downward trend in the amount of time spent on it daily; the average global consumer now watches just under 2 hours per day, a decline of about 25 minutes compared to the early 2010s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While a traditional TV set remains the top choice (64%), just over half of consumers globally are using alternative devices \u2013 with a mobile (33%), PC\/laptop (25%) and then tablet (11%) being the most popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, a quarter of global broadcast TV users are <em>not <\/em>watching via a television set at any point in a typical month, a trend which increases in line with age to be twice as common among 16-24s as 55-64s. In turn, the notion of households sitting in front of their television for the evening has been challenged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>TV&rsquo;s dominance can&rsquo;t be ignored<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Broadcast TV still accounts for more time than any other entertainment behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also continues to post very high figures in some key demographics and parts of the world, particularly from an advertising perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consumers in the US. spend more time watching television each day than their counterparts in any of the other 46 countries tracked by GWI &#8211; nearly three hours daily \u2013 putting it considerably ahead of time spent on social media in the US. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s reflective of broadcast TV maintaining a stronghold in North America and much of Western Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By age, the ongoing power of linear TV among older groups is plain to see. Boomers still watch almost three hours of broadcast TV daily, three times the figure they spend on streaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Western countries have older population skews and there\u2019s typically a disproportionate wealth distribution among older groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even among Gen Z \u2013 often seen as the trendsetters of media consumption behaviors \u2013 both formats capture equal amounts of time, at around 1.5 hours daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very clearly, then, online streaming isn\u2019t replacing broadcast TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather, consumers have a more diverse entertainment portfolio and this is driving increases in the overall time spent on media consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The evolution of the formats and devices we engage with has opened up more times and opportunities across the day \u2013 but broadcast TV remains a fundamental part of our behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>TV ads are the most favored <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly, consumers have different tolerance levels for ads in various locations. Research shows that consumers in the US and UK feel that TV ads are less excessive than those found online and much less intrusive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, when both positive and negative adjectives are combined into a composite score, we start to understand just how much more favorably TV ads are viewed compared to other ad formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a trend that transcends demographics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.advertisingweek360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Picture1-2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By age, for example, TV ads are top for all groups but it\u2019s among older segments where they establish the strongest positive differentiator vs other ad formats (and remember, this demographic are the heaviest engagers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a similar story among other audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We see more positivity towards TV ads vs other media among those who are explicitly anti-advertising (avoiding it where they can) right through to those who are more positive towards it (feeling that they are represented in advertising).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whoever your target audience is, they are likely to approach TV ads with greater relative positivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>TV ads play by different rules<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clearly, TV ads are doing something right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.advertisingweek360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Picture2-2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One way of exploring this is to dig deeper into the positive scores to see how they differ between ad formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we do this, a plain distinction emerges: TV ads are appealing because they have the ability to entertain, whereas the other formats tend to be seen as beneficial when they provide relevant information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We need to put this in context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<!-- shortcode [asyncjs] -->\n        <script type=\"text\/javascript\">if (!window.AdButler) {\n                (function () {\n                    var s = document.createElement(\"script\");\n                    s.async = true;\n                    s.type = \"text\/javascript\";\n                    s.src = 'https:\/\/servedbyadbutler.com\/app.js';\n                    var n = document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];\n                    n.parentNode.insertBefore(s, n);\n                }());\n            }<\/script>\n        <script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n            var AdButler = AdButler || {};\n            AdButler.ads = AdButler.ads || [];\n            var abkw = window.abkw || '';\n            var plc428354 = window.plc428354 || 0;\n            document.write('<' + 'div id=\"placement_428354_' + plc428354+ '\"><\/' + 'div>');\n            AdButler.ads.push({\n                handler: function (opt) {\n                    AdButler.register(167788,428354, [300,250], 'placement_428354_' + opt.place, opt);\n                },\n                opt: {\n                    place: plc428354++,\n                    keywords: abkw ,\n                    domain: 'servedbyadbutler.com'\n                }\n            });\n        <\/script>\n        \n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The average person doesn\u2019t spend their time looking for ads that catch their eye. Ads are something we live with, and we\u2019re exposed to them throughout the day in many environments. Sometimes, they make a connection or a positive impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In their ability to entertain, TV ads have gained a level of acceptance that stands far above that of other formats, even among people who are actively avoiding any type of advertising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lower positivity scores for other formats and the need for them to be informative to make a positive impression tells us a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It tells us that while the other formats are still indispensable in any ad campaign, compared to TV their effectiveness is much more reliant on how strategically they\u2019re used in the buyer\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Information needs will change at different stages of the journey, and seeing as irrelevant content is the third-leading cause of negative brand impressions caused by ads, the stakes are likely to be higher for these formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also tells us that other formats can\u2019t take the place of TV as the workhorse in brand building and that while many advertisers might be hopeful for greater personalization \u2013 even in more traditional mediums \u2013 this isn\u2019t necessarily what people are crying out for in regards to TV ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<!-- shortcode
