The advantages of TV advertising are endless, but one great thing is the potential it has to reach millions of people. Reach is critical if you’re trying to build a successful brand, as the higher your share of voice, the more likely it is to grow. We explored this trait within our study, ITV Sponsorship 982.

 

The Research

We analysed more than 100 sponsorships which had taken place over a five-year period and carried out nationally representative surveys to understand how people reacted. We led more than 80,000 interviews and analysed Broadcasters' Audience Research Board (BARB) data to show how sponsorship contributes to share of voice within television advertising.
