Live programming’s appeal lies in its real-time nature, higher engagement, and communal viewing experience, making it ideal for advertisers. Here are three ways to ensure your live-event ads stand out: 1️⃣ Creative testing. Make sure your creative fits within the content it will appear. 2️⃣ Have a relevant message. Whether you are advertising to a very targeted audience or to a broad audience, the products should still align with their interests and values. 3️⃣ Strategize across channels. Advertising in live programming should be part of a larger campaign, whether it’s leading up to the event or reinforcing the messaging after. You stand out through frequency, which is built over time. See more from Travis Flood, Executive Director of Insights at Comcast Advertising in EMARKETER: https://bit.ly/3RKcwEu
