In today’s day and age, TV ads are no longer just TV ads. Their success is now also based on how engaging they are across social media. Here are this week’s top 10 most talked about TV ads on social.
Which advertiser is really getting the most bang for their buck on TV? Yes, TV views matter, but what happens on social media counts even more nowadays. Consider this:
- 64% of people are active on social media during a TV show
- TV ads drive 1 in 5 social media brand engagements
- More than 8 billion videos are viewed on Snapchat and Facebook alone
Is there a future for TV advertising? Of course, YES. But each TV spot will have to take into account its social media potential. As you will see from the top 10 below, the amount of media spent does not always link to how successful a spot gets to be on social!
