The rise of media streaming companies like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, have caused many to fear that the best days of the traditional television advertising model are over. However, as industry experts have studied trends and investigated further into this phenomenon, it appears that traditional television advertising is not in decline. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.
Advertising Week contributor and TV Squared CTO Kevin O’Reilly recently wrote an article publishing by Huffington Post expanding upon the optimistic outlook of TV for 2018 and beyond. O’Reilly went on to explain why the “doomsday rumors” should be silenced, adding that 2018 will actually be a great year for TV. Experts are excited about unexpectedly high ad sales and new innovations like short form (6-second) ads for quick and repetitive branding as well as better monitoring and targeting from TV ads.
Whether your scope is national or local, it seems that there is no better time than the present to invest in television advertising. With ad spend up, and some major players like Proctor & Gamble actually reducing their digital budgets, it seems there is still money to be made and customers to be earned on television. In addition to exclusive shows and programming that haven’t made their way to digital streaming avenues, TV is still the king of sporting events and live broadcasts. And yet, some households will still elect to subscribe to both Netflix and cable. For the complete rundown of the health of TV in 2018 see Kevin O’Reilly’s HuffPost Business article.
