The power of regional
With regional advertising, your business is put front and centre into the areas you’re targeting. It also gives you a canvas for experimentation; target micro regions with different messaging and see what works and what doesn’t. In addition, our talented creatives will work with you to create a regional advert perfect for specific local audiences.
Easily test, learn, and scale your regional advertising
Many advertisers already capitalise on our regionality – that’s why over half of ITV’s advertisers are able to build their business successfully by spending under £50,000 with us (Packages of Airtime on ITV Central can be bought for as little as £4,336). Reach in Central is well worth the spend too; you can reach up to 1.3m people watching I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in Central.
A simple regional test and control approach will help you learn quickly and get speedy wins. Only ITV’s regional network gives brands the ability to do that at scale flexibly.
Cut costs with regional advertising
The cost of ITV regional advertising is great value for money, so you end up spending less.
With higher levels of viewing across linear live viewing and ITV Hub, your advertising campaign can be seen by more people than a year ago as well. You can also reduce risk further by booking your campaign week-by-week, capitalising on late access to airtime without penalty, as we continue to make TV and VOD advert slots more flexible.
We have been blown away by the results of this campaign which have reinforced our initial view that TV is absolutely the right medium for a small Brand like Elizabeth Shaw to drive awareness and increase sales amongst our core Gen X consumer base. We hope to be able to use these results to encourage the retailers to support our activity by increasing distribution to ensure that we do not disappoint consumers through lack of availability. We also hope to be able to continue the good work we have started by increasing our presence in new regions over the coming 12 months.Karen Crawford, Managing Director, Elizabeth Shaw
Don't forget digital
Advertising regionally with ITV is more than television – with ITV, you can also advertise digitally with VOD (video on demand). This lets you advertise in the heart of homes in Central digitally, on a platform where millions of people (and growing!) are watching the shows they love. With our ITV Hub advertising options, you can extend your airtime campaign across the Central Region on the ITV Hub from just £650.
