We are excited to announce that our immensely popular Total TV packages are back and bigger than ever!

And as our 2023 test partners are aware, our hugely successful Love Island Total TV (Convergence) test packages deliver both exceptional value and phenomenal reach within the elusive Gen Z / Millennial 16-34 audience. In fact, looking back on Summer 2023, they delivered on average 23.4%* greater 1+ reach than investing the equivalent budgets in non convergent deals. This represents a saving of over £126k based on a £200k investment into a Convergence package!

For Summer 2024 we will be increasing the opportunity, offering 60 packages. Once again, these will be available across 30”, 20” and 10” ad lengths at cpms of £20, £17 and £10 respectively across both live and on demand viewing.

But that’s not all; as you may have already seen, we’re also offering you the option to add YouTube inventory  in and around ITV’s Love Island content, subject to availability. For this test phase of Youtube, inventory will be available for 20”, 10” and 6” pre-roll copies. Pricing is available on request. 

This trial for a new Love Island format continues to evolve the way we are selling TV to make ITV advertising easier to buy across all of our media. Get in touch for more information or to get involved: itvcommercial@itv.com 

Here’s a reminder of how it all works with some top line pointers to get you started:

• Each package will combine spot and VOD inventory into a single campaign, with delivery aligned to how Love Island is viewed by its audience (which naturally falls at around 45% linear / 55% VOD). 

• The 60 Packages available are to be split into 2 categories:

- 30 available to 30 second creatives in which we will allow 15 packages with a budget of £65,000 to £150,000 and 15 packages of £150,001 to £400,000.

- 30 available to 10 or 20 second creatives in which we will allow 15 packages with a budget of £40,000 to £100,000, and 15 packages of £100,001 to £250,000.

• The convergence test packages will deliver Love Island viewer impacts and impressions at an incentivised single fixed cost per thousand of £20 for 30 second copy, £17 for 20 second copy and  £10 for 10 second copy. 

• In order to book any of our convergence packages, agencies must make us aware of Youtube requests at the point of booking for all packages. Pricing for optional Youtube inventory available on request. Please note that spend on optional Youtube inventory will be additional to the above budgets, outside of any existing deal with ITV and invoiced on an as delivered basis up to the amount committed. 

• To note, requests of more than 2 packages by individual advertisers will be subject to availability and taken on a request only basis.

• The 60 packages will only be available on Planet V on a first come first served basis. They will be available on the platform from 10am on 2nd April 2024. As we are sure you know by now, when they're gone, they're gone!

Your ITV team will report back on delivery on a regular basis and will ensure final invoices for test packages are split for spot and VOD, in line with delivery.

Naturally, there are some T&C's which you'll find below.
