PVRs and video stars!In the online world ad blockers are throttling marketers' ability to get banner ads in front of digital audiences - and curtailing media owners' ability to monetise their audiences. The same is true in the pay TV world where personal video recorders (PVRs) are increasingly used by viewers to avoid watching advertising messages. Brandon de Kock, WhyFive's director of storytelling, argues that knowing who is blocking what ad messages is crucial for reaching the right people and avoiding wastage.
The data shows that 50% of the total sample own PVRs. Of these, only 24% say they ‘never’ or ‘hardly ever’ use their PVR to avoid watching ads and a further 24% say they ‘sometimes’ do. Which leaves 26% who say they ‘often’ avoid ads – and a staggering 26% who say they ‘always’ do. Whichever way you look at it, that’s a lot of viewing on demand, together with pausing and fast-forwarding when necessary. And as with any advertising, the trick is to have a good view of who you are reaching and who you are missing; both in terms of who is exposed to the content, and who is just turning the proverbial page when your ad appears. Imagine a BrandMapp profile of your customers seen through this kind of filter – and how it would help you make critical decisions about your precious ad spend in what is undoubtedly going to be a challenging year ahead.
