Sky Advance: A Smarter Way for Brands to Reach New Audiences

The advertising landscape is changing rapidly. Brands want greater reach, better targeting and more effective ways to connect with potential customers across television and digital environments.

Sky Advance is designed to help advertisers do exactly that.

By combining Sky's premium content environments with audience data and digital advertising capabilities, Sky Advance gives brands an opportunity to extend their reach and connect with relevant audiences across screens.

Reach Beyond Traditional TV

Today's consumers don't watch content in just one place.

They move between television, streaming, websites, mobile devices and digital video throughout the day.

Sky Advance allows advertisers to think beyond a traditional television-only campaign and consider how their message can reach audiences across a wider digital ecosystem.

For brands looking to grow, this provides an opportunity to extend a campaign beyond the TV screen and reach additional potential customers online.

Put Audience Data at the Centre of Your Campaign

One of the most important changes in modern advertising is the move from buying media primarily around channels to planning campaigns around audiences.

Sky's audience data can help advertisers identify and reach relevant consumer groups.

Rather than simply asking:

"Where should we advertise?"

Brands can start with:

"Who is our ideal customer, and how can we reach more people like them?"

That audience-first approach can make advertising more relevant and help businesses use their budgets more effectively.

Find New Customers

For growing businesses, one of the biggest challenges is continually finding new audiences.

Performance channels such as Meta and Google can be extremely effective, but brands can become heavily dependent on the same advertising ecosystems.

Sky Advance provides another route to potential customers.

This is particularly interesting for ecommerce and digital-first brands looking to diversify their acquisition strategy and introduce their products to audiences beyond their existing marketing channels.

Combine Premium Media with Digital Performance

Brand advertising and performance advertising don't need to operate separately.

Premium media can introduce a business and create awareness. Digital advertising can reinforce the message and encourage consumers to take action.

A customer might encounter your brand through Sky-related content, see another digital advertisement later, search for your business and ultimately make a purchase online.

Understanding that complete journey can help marketers see advertising as more than simply the final click.

Creative Built for a Multi-Screen World

Different screens create different opportunities.

A message designed for television may need to be adapted for mobile or digital video, while shorter creative can be used to reinforce a larger brand campaign.

Brands should therefore think about creating a family of advertising assets rather than relying on one piece of creative everywhere.

Consistent branding, a strong proposition and a clear message can help consumers recognise the business wherever they encounter it.

Test, Learn and Develop

Modern advertising should be an ongoing learning process.

Campaign performance can provide valuable insights into which audiences, messages and creative approaches are generating the strongest response.

Brands can use those insights to refine future activity, test new ideas and gradually increase investment in the strategies that perform.

The objective isn't simply to launch a campaign.

It's to learn what works and use that knowledge to make the next campaign better.
