Advertising on TV is both an affordable and, more importantly, an extremely cost effective option for all businesses, whether they are large or small and irrespective of who they are trying to target. Don’t believe us? Well, hopefully these facts will help convince you:

  • In terms of investment, 763 (31%) of all advertisers spent less than £50k on their TV advertising across 2022 and 1,331 (53%) spent less than £250k. At the other end of the spectrum, 267 (11%) spent £5m+.
