How to get your advert onto TV

The majority of people use an agency for TV advertising like us as they wish for the TV advertisement to accomplish something. They may wish to increase the sales of their products, increase the brand’s visibility or create some kind of response.

Clients often need help due to the fact that at any stage they’re at, they’re seeking to increase their ROI and justify their expenditure.

An experienced agency will collaborate with their clients to develop and manage their campaigns, as well as the amount of time they air. I would say that the benefit of spending money on the service is that you’ll get expert industry knowledge from experts.

It’s the guarantee that advertisements reach the intended audience by being shown on the correct channel at the appropriate time. It’s a sense of security that the most favorable deal is negotiated for you.

It’s a feeling of security that you’re getting the most effective airtime plan from a neutral standpoint. It’s the ability to follow up on what you’ve created by analyzing it in a custom way and to ensure you’re on the right path.

If I do not choose to use an TV Advertising Agency, what alternatives do I have?

If you do not want to engage an advertising company You have the option of purchasing direct airtime through the company that produces media.

My experience is that this restricts the deals you can get. Directly dealing with one house means that you’re dealing exclusively with them. There’s no access to the entire the market and they’re certainly not completely impartial.

An advertising agency for TV will look across all media to find the most effective bargain for you, as they aren’t tied to particular channel. They are able to offer deals from Sky, Channel 4, ITV and many more since they’re independent.

A great analogy is to imagine an advertising agency on TV as a broker working on behalf of you to obtain the most effective package.

There have been times when I’ve observed larger media companies join their clients, leaving clients ‘locked’ in the same contract, which isn’t appropriate for them. Many also transfer the value of lower spending accounts to accommodate bigger clients. This raises the question “Do they have your best interests at heart Do they have your best interests at heart?

How do you get your advertisement to be seen on the TV

Let me be truthful. getting your advertisement to the point of being broadcasted can be long and difficult. With numerous components to factor into and a strict procedure to follow this is a task best left to the expert of a professional agency.

I’d suggest without doubt that the most important thing you should consider before embarking on any endeavor is What is success for your company? Make sure you take the time to figure it out.

The more precise you will be when defining your objectives clearly the greater chance of having an effective campaign. Consider what you would like your television advertisement to accomplish.

Perhaps you’d like to increase sales, encourage customers to take advantage of your offer, or increase the visibility of your brand. It’s wonderful to design ads that are bursting with creativity and aesthetic appeal, however when it’s not meeting the standards when it comes to achieving your goals, then it’s failing.

It’s also worth noting this process can be considered rigorous, and appropriately so. Be prepared; your advertisement could be seen by thousands of people. It needs to be secure in terms of integrity and legality.

Your claims regarding goods or services should have all information checked against. For instance, if for example you claim that your product is the biggest selling moisturiser, the assertion must be proved.

Are you offering discounts as an incentive? If yes, then you requires confirmation. Does the discount sound legitimate and is it was it given with good intentions? We at The TV Agency we can help you with these first steps because, without these steps being in place, you’ll have be faced with hurdles in the future.

The TV Advert Method – Designing an Advert Ready for TV

After you’ve established the goals of your campaign It’s now time to think of an idea that is compatible with what you’re trying achieve. Ideas and thoughts may originate from your own imaginative team, or we can guide you to your direction. Armed with your idea and ideas, you’re ready to get started.

The creative team drafts scripts, incorporating any words and the language that will be used in the TV commercial. The scripts are examined and approved by Clearcast, (who act on behalf broadcasters) and gives the broadcaster pre-clearance that all content is authentic and complies with any legal standards.

If you are a part of an legal department in-house they could have specific regulations to follow in addition. At this stage, Clearcast will either provide approval for the planned advertisement or ask that certain modifications are made to ensure that it’s suitable prior to its broadcast.

Pre-production of the TV Advert

Before any exciting activities can begin I’d suggest that your pre-production plan include the following aspects:
Is this ad live-action or animated?
Do you think this advertisement will require casting to locate models, actors as well as voiceover talent?
Is there any need for 3D material?
What music do we want to choose and how do we obtain it?
Do you have any imagery that we’d like to incorporate in our advertising campaign?
Filming Locations, to name a some.

Creation of the TV Advert

If you choose to go with an advert that is live the production will likely comprise of filming models or actors in real-time, at a location. Sound, lighting and camera equipment are required for the recording of your footage. If you choose to use animation, then our professional animation team will start to draw and bring your advertisement to life.

This can take a few weeks, days or even weeks, which I’ve seen in person. There are things that interfere with the process particularly during live action filming. Weather, noisy traffic, insecure actors, or technology glitches. It’s not surprising after nearly twenty years in the business!

You should already have an initial draft of your advert in position, sometimes referred to as the roughcut. Although it’s not the final version however, it’s likely to be close there, giving you a sense of how the final advert will appear and also a chance to make any last-minute adjustments.

If you’re looking to make adjustments in the near future anything that is based on live action is a bit more challenging to modify than animation. Consider if you need to shoot reshoot at a different place or on a day with more light or more clear conditions.

Sometimes, it’s impossible to avoid and it’s our duty as an agency for television to suggest alternate methods of working, such as making use of a studio as the filming location.

Ok! It’s all done! Let’s say that you’ve produced an advert that you love. Now, it has to go back to the studio for the final approval (remember Clearcast?) After it’s approved then you’ll have an advert ready for distribution to TV stations to broadcast. You typically have to complete 5 working days prior to the broadcast.
