Television Advertising

📺 “Wait…People Still Watch TV?” Yes. And TV Ads Still Work Brilliantly.

We know what you’re thinking.

“TV? Isn’t that just where my nan watches crime dramas and the dog gets excited when the doorbell rings?”

Sure, streaming is hot. Social is everywhere. But TV is far from dead. In fact, it’s still one of the most trusted, high-impact platforms for building brand awareness and driving sales.

And with today’s tech, television advertising isn’t just for mega-corporations with million-pound budgets. It’s targeted, measurable, and surprisingly affordable—especially when you work with a smart, efficient partner (yes, that’s us).

🎯 Why Use Television Advertising in 2025?

Because it still works. And not just for toothpaste brands and banking giants.

Here’s why TV advertising deserves a place in your marketing mix:

  • Mass reach – Broadcast still gets you in front of thousands (or millions) at once
  • Emotional impact – TV combines visuals, sound, and storytelling for maximum memorability
  • Trust and credibility – Being on TV boosts brand legitimacy like nothing else
  • Precise targeting – Regional, demographic, and time-slot based options? Yes please
  • Better value than ever – Especially with offshore media buying via Island Solutions

It’s not just about vanity or nostalgia. It’s about capturing attention in a noisy world—in a format people still engage with.

💡 TV in the Age of Smart Everything

Today’s TV isn’t the same as it was in the 90s. (Thankfully—because no one needs that many infomercials.)

Modern TV advertising includes:

  • Digital TV (Sky, Freeview, Virgin)
  • Smart/Connected TV (ITVX, Channel 4, Roku, YouTube TV)
  • Video on demand (VOD)
  • Programmatic TV (ads tailored by audience data)

With us, you’re not just buying a spot—you’re buying strategic visibility.

🛠️ How Island Solutions Makes TV Ads Happen (Without the Headache)

We make it simple. Because honestly, no one wants to navigate broadcast codes or legal clearances alone.

Here’s our process:

1. 🎬 Creative That Connects

Whether you’ve got a script in mind or just a half-baked idea on a napkin, we’ll help bring it to life. Our team works with skilled partners to produce ads that:

  • Tell a story
  • Make people feel something
  • End with a memorable call to action (CTA)

We’re not talking cheesy 80s jingles (unless that’s the vibe). We’re talking modern, scroll-stopping, “Wait, that was you?!” level content.

2. 📍 Targeting That Makes Sense

Gone are the days of chucking your ad into the wild and hoping for the best.

We help you choose:

  • Which channels to appear on (regional or national)
  • What time slots hit your audience
  • What demographic targeting makes the most sense

Want to reach homeowners in the south? Or parents watching Saturday morning TV? We’ve got you covered.

3. 🧾 Media Buying That Saves You Money

This is where we shine.

Our offshore media buying strategy means:

  • We act as your agent, negotiating the best rates
  • We handle compliance, scheduling, and submissions
  • We can often reduce your ad spend by up to 40% (seriously)
  • We track performance and help you plan follow-ups

Big reach. Low fuss. Great value. What’s not to love?

📈 How TV Ads Fit Into the Bigger Picture

Let’s say you’ve got a great TV spot. What now?

A smart brand doesn’t stop at the living room. We help you repurpose and amplify your content:

  • Clip your ad for Instagram Reels
  • Run it as a YouTube pre-roll ad
  • Drop it into your email campaigns
  • Feature it on your website’s homepage
  • Pair it with PPC and social for max conversion

One piece of content. Multiple touchpoints. Serious impact.

💬 But Isn’t TV Advertising Just for Big Brands?

Absolutely not.

TV has helped:

  • Health clinics promote local services
  • Property developers boost visibility
  • Auto companies sell out their stock
  • Retailers drive footfall and web traffic
  • Education providers reach new students

TV isn’t just for Coca-Cola and car ads. It’s for any business that wants to be taken seriously—and seen widely.

💡 TV Advertising Myths (Let’s Bust a Few)

❌ TV is too expensive. Not with smart targeting and offshore rates.
❌ No one watches TV anymore. They do. Just in more ways—and across more devices.
❌ I need a massive production budget. We work with a range of video creatives to suit all budgets.
❌ It’s hard to track. Modern TV platforms offer clear metrics and attribution tools.

🧠 Why Go Offshore with Island Solutions?

We’re based in Jersey, Channel Islands—which means:

  • Often no VAT for international clients
  • UK-quality strategy and support

🧲 TV Ads + Digital = Marketing Magic

TV ads aren’t a replacement for digital—they’re the amplifier.

Imagine this:

  1. A viewer sees your 30-second ad during Coronation Street.
  2. The next day, they Google your brand.
  3. Your PPC ad appears. They click.
  4. They browse your slick website and sign up.

That’s omnichannel marketing—and it works like a dream.
