TV Jargon and Examples

1. TV Jargon and Examples

2. TARGET AUDIENCE • A target audience (also known as a target market) represents the people we most want to talk to • Defining the target audience enables us to tailor our message and our media buying specifically to reach and influence these people, thus avoiding ‘wastage’ (i.e. paying to reach people who are unlikely to buy our product) • For the sake of this exercise, let’s say our target audience is all people aged 25-54. To keep things even simpler, our total population (below) consists of just 10 people, 50% of which (five people) are aged 25-54

3. PERFORMANCE METRICS • In the real world our target audience will be much larger than just 5 people, but by having just five people allows us to see a real life example of how the Performance Metrics work at a very simplistic level • We will look at the viewing habits of each person in our group of five people and show how these mesh together to form the metrics we see on media schedules each day

4. PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES OF THE CAMPAIGN • A schedule has been constructed to reach the maximum amount of 25-54 year olds and our agency has sent us a spot list which reads as follows; • Spot list for Tuesday 4 August • For the sake of this exercise, let’s say our objectives on our launch night are 200 ratings with a 90:10 peak: off peak split, 80% 1+ reach, 60% 2+ reach with an average frequency of 2.5 • What does this all mean? And how, using the viewing of our 5 people do we get to this result?

15. PUTTING IT TOGETHER – TARPS • Each person in a sample equates to a percentage of the total audience • In this case each person represents 20% of the total audience (but in normal circumstances they would be far less than this) • To get TARPs the percentages are added together – so for the ad playing at 7.10pm we would add Anna (20%) and Megan (20%) together to get a total of 40 (or 40% of the total audience viewing at that time) • To get total TARPs we add all the individual percentages together

16. 1+ REACH • Reach is the percentage of your target audience who had the opportunity to see your ad one or more times • To calculate 1+ reach we look at the percentage of our total audience who have seen the advertisement one or more time • In this example four of the five people (80%) have seen the advertisement at least once

17. 2+ REACH • To calculate 2+ reach we look at the percentage of our total audience who have seen the advertisement two or more times • In this example three of the five people (60%) have seen the advertisement at least twice

18. 3+ REACH • To calculate 3+ reach we look at the percentage of our total audience who have seen the advertisement three or more times • In this example two of the five people (40%) have seen the advertisement at least three times

19. AVERAGE FREQUENCY • Average frequency is the average number of times that your target audience (who have viewed the ad) had the opportunity to see your ad • To calculate average frequency we take the total number of times the ad was seen (10 times) and then divide it by the number of people who saw the advertisement (4), to give us an average frequency of 2.5 • As he didn’t see any ads Peter is not included in this calculation

20. OFF-PEAK • To calculate the off-peak percentage, take the percentage of TARPs appearing outside of the peak hours of 6pm -10.30pm (20 tarps from a total of 200 – equating to 10% of the total)
