While many large brands with national footprints have already realized the value that addressable TV advertising brings brands with smaller footprints may not yet recognize that addressable is a proven tactic for their needs tooLuckily for those advertisers itamp8217s easier than ever to activate addressable at a regional and local market level across screens and devices Here are three reasons why local advertisers should include addressable TV in their buys1 Deterministic data provides reliable targeting and performance attributionOne of the leading reasons to incorporate addressable into a TV ad strategy is the accuracy and quality of the data that addressable campaigns are built on A recent analysis found that addressable TV match rates are more precise than IP addresses 95 of addressable households were accurately matched via physical address compared to only 60 via IP addressMost addressable is powered by deterministic data which means that audiences are authenticated ensuring that an advertiser is reaching the right household This not only provides more accurate targeting but enables advertisers to better make a connection between an ad exposure and an outcome allowing for better measurement and a deeper understanding of campaign performance When looking for a partner that can execute addressable make sure to work with partners that use reliable deterministic data sets which ensure the audience is accurate unlike those partners that may rely on thirdparty data or hashed emailsFor local and regional brands or brands with limited budgets this ability is extremely important since it means they can understand the ROI of their media investments see what is working and how to better optimize Ultimately this means that ad budgets can be used in a way that makes it the most effective in driving results2 Addressable advertising helps control frequency to deliver more reachAddressable allows advertisers to better manage exposures across platforms as it empowers them to more strategically and efficiently limit heavy TV viewers through frequency capping Advertisers can use addressable to identify those light TV viewing households so they can maximize reach In fact addressable is found to be 27 more likely to reach lightno TV households compared to linear nonaddressable campaigns1 Not only that an analysis found that when addressable is included as part of a multiscreen TV campaign it delivers more than one third of unique target reach and total target frequency is 75 higher showing that a percentage of households would not have been reached without itSmaller advertisers can effectively target specific relevant audiences with customized creative giving the perception of a larger brand presence by ensuring their ads are only seen by people most likely to be interested minimizing wasted impressions and maximizing the impact of their TV ad budget Since addressable enables advertisers to deliver custom creative

ads are relevant3 Addressable offers increased efficiency for ad spendamp160Some advertisers may be hesitant to use addressable due to the seemingly higher price tag on CPMs However addressable CPMs guarantee that every impression is delivered to the target audience An analysis found that when it comes to local campaigns eCPMs the CPMs associated with the actual target segment impressions are 15 lower with addressable than broadcast This further proves the effectiveness of addressable TV in reaching only the target audience and reducing wasted ad spend by limiting impressions delivered outside of the desired households2Not all brands have the same goals in mind or the same marketing budgets but the advantage of addressable is that it can be used throughout the full marketing funnel from brand awareness to more performancebased objectives And as many advertisers are facing economic pressures on their marketing budgets they can and should look to addressable to help them get the
