Session 1:  The Five Reasons That Will Motivate Your Clients to Adopt an Audience-First Buying Mindset 

We know that advancements in data, measurement and targeting hold great opportunity for advertisers. Couple this with increasingly restricted ad supply of traditional buying demos and it’s clear marketers should be swiftly evolving towards an audience-first mindset, yet many are still placing buys based on age and gender. We look at this disconnect through the marketer’s lens and equip you with the facts and reasons that support a shift towards audience-based buying. 

We will prep you for your next meeting with: 

• * The realities around the U.S. shifting population dynamics and growth of the 50+ group.
• * The implications of the ad supply for traditional demos. 
• * The lucrative upside of marketing to the often-underrepresented older demographic.
• * Real-world success stories – case studies from brands who’ve embraced audience-based buying and driven upper-funnel metrics like                awareness. 
• * Real-world success stories – case studies from brands who’ve embraced audience-based buying and driven lower-funnel metrics like                website visits and sales.

Session 3: The Five Ways TV Can Drive Business Results for Your Brand 

Whether a brand is new to TV advertising or has been running campaigns for years, we often hear these questions from them. Be prepared with the fact-based answers to these commonly asked questions about “whether TV works.” 

• * How long will it take to see impact from my TV investment, and does it matter if I’m a direct-to-consumer brand or not? 
• * How much impact have young, first-time advertisers seen from their TV campaigns? 
• * To what extent can a consistent on-air presence impact my business outcomes? 
• * How should I think about my TV investment? Is there a strategy that is proven to generate better outcomes? 
• * If I can’t afford to advertise my brand consistently on TV, is there a benefit to running a TV campaign?
