the challenge

tv watch time is declining and GRPs are rising – how do we continue to generate reach?

The average Dutch person has been watching less TV for a while now – linear watch time is decreasing (NMO-Kijkonderzoek, 2023). And although we are all watching less television, the costs of advertising on the big screen continue to rise. That’s why Beter Bed looked for an alternative: online!

A smart choice by Beter Bed! But it’s important to remember: the rules of a good online campaign are different from those of a traditional TV commercial. Beter Bed looked for an agency that understands the online rules.

the traditional structure of a tv commercial doesn’t suit the online attention span

to grab and hold attention online, you…

  • Need to start jump right into the action of the story, while keeping the tempo with different twists high

  • Use clear branding within the first five seconds of the commercial

  • Get viewers to take action with text cards, simple animations and clear voice-overs

  • Know where your target audience is and make use of data insights to optimize your media plan

our solution

a YouTube commercial that aligns perfectly with Google’s ABCD framework

attract:

Hook the audience’s attention, by starting in the middle of the action. 

brand:

The voice-over mentions the brand in the beginning of the commercial, just before the viewer can skip-away. On top of that, the brand is visible in the entire commercial.  

connect:

Keeping the audience engaged with a high tempo in the edit and multiple unexpected shifts in the story line. 

direct:

End with a clear call-to-action, both in-screen as in the VO, even though this is an ad in the awareness phase.
