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 STV’s advertisers are able to build their business successfully by spending under £50,000 with us (Packages of Airtime on STV North Scotland micro regions can be bought for as little as £725). Reach in North Scotland is well worth the spend too; you can reach up to 155,000 people watching I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in Northern Scotland.
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 ITVX, 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.

This lets you advertise in the heart of homes in North Scotland digitally, on a platform where millions of people (and growing!) are watching the shows they love. With our ITVX advertising options, you can extend your airtime campaign across the North Scotland Region on the ITVX from just £109.
