How Mediamix uses Spoteffects to optimize TV campaigns

Today, Mediamix has integrated Spoteffects into its TV advertising strategies. This tool is particularly valuable for analyzing and optimizing the impact of TV campaigns on sales and brand awareness.

  1. Real-time monitoring

Within five minutes of a TV spot airing, the tool analyzes activity on the advertiser’s official website, highlighting potential traffic spikes. 

  1. Optimizing channels and time slots

Spoteffects analyses help identify the most effective time slots, channels, and programs for a given target audience. This enables advertisers to refine their broadcast plans, avoid audience loss, and improve the ROI of TV campaigns.  

  1. Comparing ad versions

Spoteffects allows testing different ad versions to determine the most effective ones. TV remains a powerful mass media, capable of reaching millions of viewers quickly. However, the impact of a TV campaign isn’t limited to an immediate web traffic spike after a spot airs. Spoteffects tracks traffic trends, online interactions, and brand-related searches over an extended period, offering a broader view of brand awareness impact.

  1. Analyse des retombées à long terme :

Beyond immediate results, Spoteffects allows us to measure the prolonged impact of campaigns on brand awareness and in-store sales.

For instance, a campaign broadcast over several weeks can lead to a sustained increase in Google searches or organic visits to the official website long after the campaign has ended. This data helps measure whether the advertising message resonated with audiences and strengthened the brand's image among its target audience.

Spoteffects goes beyond digital metrics. By integrating data from external sources, such as in-store sales data, it becomes possible to correlate TV performance with physical purchases. This is particularly relevant for food or fast-moving consumer goods, where in-store purchases remain predominant.

Finally, Spoteffects offers a better understanding of the campaign lifecycle. Indeed, the effects of an advertising campaign can vary depending on its duration and the frequency of broadcasts. Spoteffects helps identify specific response cycles: a traffic spike immediately after the broadcast, followed by steady plateaus linked to the audience's memory of the campaign. These insights enable advertisers to adjust the frequency of their spots or plan reminder campaigns (reactivation) to maintain audience interest.

Why adopt spoteffects?

For companies like Mediamix, where each campaign must maximize its impact, Spoteffects provides a comprehensive solution to connect TV performance with digital results. This tool serves as a strategic lever to optimize advertising budgets and better understand consumer behavior.
