TV and video advertising has undergone a dramatic evolution over the years.

Advantages of Video Advertising

One of the key advantages of video advertising is that it can be viewed anywhere, anytime, and by anyone. With the widespread use of smartphones and other mobile devices, it's now easier than ever to reach out to a massive audience through video advertising. Not to mention, Australians spend an average of nearly 5 hours each day on their mobile devices, making it a prime platform for advertising.


Video advertising is no longer limited to small screen sizes. With technological advancements, video advertising can now be showcased on larger screens like cinema displays, making it an even more potent tool for brand promotion. The sheer size and impact of these larger screens can capture the attention of audiences in a way that smaller screens simply can't.

Why is Video Advertising Powerful?

Videos have come a long way since the invention of motion pictures in 1892. What was once the black and white marvel of the 20th century, has now evolved into one of the most used means of communication and advertising. In a single day, more than 500 Million hours of video content is watched on YouTube alone. That's not including the 10 Billion Snapchat watched each day or the 20 Million videos uploaded to Facebook each month. in short, that's a lot of cat videos!

How can video or TV advertising help my business?

The West Coast Eagles took on the Collingwood Magpies for the AFL Grand Final at the MCG. 100k sports fans attended the event, leaving the stadium only 2 seats short of max capacity, the largest crowd since the 1986 Grand Final. Those who where unable to attend in person watched from home, pubs and bars, and even online. In total, 4.3 Million people tuned in to watch the Eagles win. However, that’s not the only thing they were watching.

Every single person watching the game from home was also watching the ads appearing during the breaks. Commercials for different brands, products, services, and promotions were all being broadcast directly to the 4.3 million people watching their Tv’s.


Now imagine if that was your add they were seeing. 4.3 million Mums, Dads, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, and grandparents all watching an ad for your business. Nobody can deny the benefits of that level of exposure. Exposure that only video advertising can bring.

TV Advertising

Advertising on TV is one of the most traditional and widely used methods of advertising but most importantly, it’s very effective. During the airing of Channel 9’s Lego Masters, toy shops around the country ran ads promoting their Lego products. These ads were designed to effectively target the audience watching the show and only ran while it was on TV. By the time the season concluded 3 weeks after the first episode, Lego sales had risen by 30% Australia wide. This number is said to dramatically rise when the show returns in 2020. While you may not sell kids toys, your own business could also undergo a similar result with a tailored advertising campaign from The Ad Group.

Cinema Advertising

Having the power of knowing how popular a film will be, who is going to watch it, and when, is what sets cinema advertising out for the others. This is a fantastic tool for local business trying to target a particular age or gender demographic. With cinema, local restaurants can promote their food to hungry families, knowing that the film they’re watching finishes just before lunch time. This is just one example of the many ways Cinema Advertising could work for your business.

Corporate Videos

Videos aren’t just a powerful tool for advertising your products, they’re also fantastic at promoting your business identity. Rather than selling customers a stocked item, corporate videos promote your staff, company, and the qualities that make them more desirable than that of your competition.


When two companies sell the exact same product for the exact same price, 70% of the time, the deciding factor is customer service. While many customers will tell their friends and family about their shopping experience, this only ever happens after they have interacted with your staff. Corporate Videos help remove the need for prior interaction and can help you show off just how skilled and qualified your staff are. As a result, your customers will be more willing to do business with you and spend more, simply by knowing that your team are professional and friendly prior to meeting them.


Corporate videos are fantastic for promoting your business across online platforms such as social media, YouTube, and even your own website.

YouTube/Tag Online

That’s the equivalent of the combined population of Perth and Adelaide, all stopping at the same time, and each watching a different YouTube video. Now imagine the brand exposure your business would have if an ad for your company appeared at the start of those videos?


Thanks to The Ad Group’s TAG Online program, you now have the power to promote your videos all over the internet. Why wait for your customers to find your videos when we can take the videos to them? Video advertising online has had proven results and could make all the difference for your business.
