Know Why TV Advertisements Give You An Edge Over Your Competitors

Most of us hate it when our favourite TV programmes take a ‘break’ in between, don’t we? Unless there comes an intriguing ad with a catchy tune which not only entertains us but makes us sing along with it. Remember Vodafone’s ZooZoo ads which were aired during IPL season 2. Amidst all the excitement of the cricket match, ZooZoo ads did not let us turn our heads to do some other work. Children wanted to befriend them, elders wanted to party with them - such is the aura of a powerful TVC.

TV Advertising Agency In Delhi NCR

To advertise your brand, the idea of digital campaigns, print media, etc. do provide your brand with an edge, but TVCs give you the medium to make the audience connect with your brand. Following the phrase “A picture is worth a thousand words”, we can say that a TVC is worth a thousand emotions. It allows the combination of visual and audio elements to captivate the audience, which no other medium allows. 

Here’s how TVC might be beneficial for your brand: 

TVC Comes With Trustworthiness:

In the nation, where families spend most of their time watching TV, what can be the best and trustworthy medium to advertise your brand? TVC gives ample space and time to show a product, demonstrate its use and to explain its advantages with an innovative concept and alluring audio-visuals. 

Even Though For a Few Seconds, The Audience Has Your Complete Attention:

Unlike print mediums like newspaper, magazines, etc, where your advertisement is placed alongside other competitors on the same page, TVC is definitely a preferred choice. Only your ad is aired on TV for a limited span of time, allowing the audience to immerse in your ad thoroughly where they are not seeing or thinking about the other competitor but just your brand. 

Can Easily Reach The Target Audience:

With a variety of shows being aired on different channels and on different time slots, it has become convenient for the advertisers to target their audience by buying ad spots during shows their intended demographic is likely to be watching. For instance, if your company manufactures toys then it is recommended that you air your Advertisement on a cartoon channel at the morning time slot to reach your target audience i.e. kids and kind-of-lure them to buy the products. The TV allows you to strategically target the audience without any hassle. 

It Allows Your Brand To Reach The Mass Audience:

A study shows that 60% of consumers are likely to buy products after watching an ad on TV and only 40% of customers are persuaded to make a purchase after viewing social media ads. Definitely, a TVC has a much wider reach and is more efficient when it comes to persuading viewers to become customers. With just a single ad spot, your brand’s communication will reach to the masses.  

If you are wondering that producing a TVC would cost you a lot of hard work and money, then you do not need to spend hours on thinking what it takes to make a powerful TVC, rather put your belief in the TV Advertising Agency and wait for the wonders to happen.

Why Branding is Important For B2B Businesses?

Corporate branding has made big names, and bigger brands with biggest emotional connects with customers the world over. Company branding is one of the most important tools that establishes the stature of the brand at a much higher level that the product or service offered. It has now become a huge aspirational destination for all small and medium B2C companies because the way it elevates the company brand beyond the immediate products and utility to a place where people would like to connect themselves with the company. With an established corporate brand, with a set of consistent message and values, people are more likely to associate with it without being sensitive to the premium cost largely ignoring other competitors involved.

Somehow there has been a misconception that B2B businesses do not need branding or brand building. The intensive strategic exercise to streamline company vision, values and a philosophy, which should resonate with clients, other business customers, and larger general public, is seen as an insignificant investment that doesn’t affect and help day-to-day business.

Contrary to this opinion, research and business related studies have made a strong case for corporate branding as an essential part of the company legacy for B2B business and its distinct positioning amidst similar businesses providing similar products and services. There are examples abound that clearly show that B2B brands with a distinct company branding focused on a particular value, or idea have the ability to penetrate collective memory much deeper, way beyond their immediate businesses. The perception positioning at a higher level with the help of a streamlined and consistent branding strategy reap higher and more significant benefits in the longer run. Companies like IBM, Cisco, Intel, Dow, BASF, DuPont, Microsoft have achieved the status of being reliable, confident and innovative purely on the basis of widespread corporate branding though they have nothing to do with B2C ecosystem.

There has also been a view that in the B2B sector, success of deals, conversions and actual purchase orders happen mostly in the micro environment of representatives of both businesses meeting face-to-face and communicating the superiority of the product or services to be sold involved. However, it may be noted that though business purchase decisions are based on dispassionate purchase or procurement procedures based on functions, features, technological benefits and coherence of both systems involved, the human factor in such processes is as indispensable as emotions to a human response. When an established popular brand with an established popular image enters into negotiations, it rides on the emotional connect it has been able to nurture with people across and beyond industry and businesses who have nothing to do with its apparent business or services. It brings into play the aura of an established player which is strong, reliable and would ensure ease of business and risk reduction to the partner business. In many cases in B2B collaborations, one business enhances its own image with the collective image and reputation of the other business it partners with. Branding of one brand adds value to the associated brand as well.

B2B Branding also instils a sense of community, engagement and ownership within the workforce, sales team, customers and all other people who feel associated with the company. An evolved business vision binds separate teams and sets of people with one identity and image which brings coherence through all external communication to the world.

People, either individual customers or business houses, rely heavily on consistency and reputation of a business brand and, as many researches have shown, are willing to pay premium price for the products and services of an established company with a strong and evocative corporate brand identity. The accessibility of the language of communication and its intermingling with individual emotions evokes a response where people are able to relate to the brand and are willing to associate with, directly as businesses, or as end beneficiaries in the longer run.

The prime example of such an evolution is Intel. While completely into B2B collaborations, Intel has positioned itself as an aspirational brand where people value it to the extent that the other B2C businesses making computer systems seem to validate that trust by putting Intel logos and Branding on their own products.

Role of Advertising Awards - Brand Bazooka

Most of the people in the creative and media industry view Advertising awards as something that provides the industry an additional currency. People argue that awards are just one of many tools to measure creativity. 

On the other hand, almost all Advertising awards are criticised for being an exercise in self-importance. There is a strong view that derides the idea of creativity that takes birth only to exist in the sphere of awards. It is clear in many cases the work produced is a pure creative exercise and not the natural outcome of a professional work stream. The account management people who have convinced the clients to publish those ads should be awarded instead of the creative.

But this view—outdated and fatigued as it is—doesn’t take into account the role these awards play in the multi-billion industry.

Awards inspire the industry people, acknowledge their potential beyond the quantifiable business measures, and encourage them to think afresh and beyond the convention. Awards like Cannes Lions, One Show, D&AD, etc. provide great worldwide platforms for the greatest creative, Advertising and marketing professionals to come together, learn from each other, and understand and analyse the growing trends in the industry. These are also unique opportunities to network with clients, customers, and other brilliant minds from the industry in a casual environment. These are spaces for off the record conversations, and for discussing creative ideas with the key players who move the industry forward. Also you get exposed to great creativity as an added value.

David Grey of the communications company Open says awards are the global litmus tests for creative work that industry peers deem to be of world-class standards. It’s all about perceptions.

Awards are also charged with an environment that fosters osmosis, exposure, conversations, workshops, and lectures. They are also melting pots for creative and professional cultures.

Advertising awards recognise and amplify those who have successfully managed to stand out from the background noise solely on the basis of their creative excellence. The work highlighted is often of the highest calibre. Imagination and out of the box thinking is rewarded for ads that may not have been conceptualised the way they are now ten years ago.

The awards also generate a pruned list of exceptional agencies for clients who they would like to work with. Awards celebrate the combined power of strategic and creative thinking to build brands.
