Something new from SKY TV- SKY Regional

September 27th 2016

Sky has developed new technology to allow advertisers to run regionally targeted TV campaigns. Previously this capability has been used to target niche audiences.

They are trialling a solely regional functionality from September to December 2016.

Key Info

• Sky Media SOV in the ITV1 regions ranges from 35-40%*

• Sky Media has a younger and higher ABC1 audience than ITV1

• Target all UK regions excluding London, Central, Meridian, Anglia

• Can expand the coverage & effectiveness of regional campaigns

• Data analytics option for advertisers prepared to share results

The Process

• Identify your ITV1 region(s)

• Send your advert to the Sky+ HD boxes in your chosen region(s)**

• Ads served in any linear or time-shifted break across 86 channels***

• Viewers need to see at least 75% of an advert for it to count as an impression

• Only pay for the number of impressions delivered

• Impression reports supplied through the campaign period

So if you advertise on TV and put 25% of your total spend on Sky regional (Sky’s SOV) then the coverage should increase by over 12% from 42% to 47.3%

This is a great new, cost-effective way of reaching a large audience in your target area at a more affordable price than SkyAdSmart.
