How is TV advertising priced?

TV advertising is generally priced on a 10-second spot rate basis. The cost varies significantly depending on the channel's viewership (TRP/BARC ratings), the specific program, and the time slot (Prime Time vs. Non-Prime Time).

What is Prime Time in TV advertising?

Prime Time refers to the hours when television viewership is at its peak. In India, this is typically between 7:00 PM and 11:00 PM. Ad rates during Prime Time are higher, but they offer maximum audience reach.

Can I target specific regions or languages?

Absolutely! India has a vast network of regional channels (Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, etc.). We can create a highly targeted media plan focusing only on the specific states or linguistic demographics relevant to your product.

Do you help with creating the TV commercial?

Yes, as a full-service agency, we have an in-house creative and production team. We can manage the entire process from conceptualizing the script and storyboarding to shooting, editing, and delivering the final broadcast-ready video.

What is the minimum budget required for a TV campaign?

Budgets can vary widely. A regional or local news channel campaign can start with a modest budget, while a national campaign on top GECs or during major sporting events (like the IPL) requires a significant investment. We tailor plans to fit your specific budget.

How do we measure the success of a TV campaign?

We use industry-standard metrics provided by BARC (Broadcast Audience Research Council) India, which measures viewership, reach, and GRPs (Gross Rating Points). We provide post-evaluation reports to ensure campaign objectives were met.
