ADVERTISING AND AGENCIES
TV is still the most effective ad medium, according to a new report. A study by MarketShare for Turner Broadcasting and in partnership with Horizon Media concludes television advertising effectiveness has not changed, still outperforming multiple digital and offline channels at driving key performance metrics. TV had the highest relative efficiency at driving such KPIs as sales and new accounts, found the study; when comparing performance at similar spend levels, television drove, on average, 4 times the sales lift of digital overall. The analysis also determined that TV networks’ premium digital video delivered higher-than-average returns compared to shortterm video content from non-premium publishers.
DISTRIBUTION AND CARRIAGE
Blue Ant International announced sales of over 100 hours of content to Eastern Europe, including series to AMC Networks International for Central Europe, and to ITI Neovision S.A. for Poland.
