Keep it Short and Direct: In today's fast-paced world, attention spans are shorter than ever. Keep your commercial short and to the point, ideally 15 to 30 seconds in length. This has long been sound advice on digital platforms but now applies to linear TV as well. Make sure your message is clear, concise, and easily digestible.
Focus on Emotions: Emotions can greatly influence how viewers connect with and remember your message. Try to tap into your audience's emotions with your messaging, whether it be through humour, excitement, or empathy.
Personalize your Ad: Personalization is becoming increasingly important in advertising. Consider using targeted ads that speak directly to your audience's specific needs and interests. Use data and insights to tailor your messaging to specific demographics, interests, or geographic locations.
Use Engaging Visuals: Video is a powerful tool for capturing attention and making an impact. Use engaging visuals, like captivating imagery, dynamic transitions, or creative visual storytelling, to create a memorable impression.
Use Audio to Complement Your Visuals: Audio is equally important as visuals in your commercial. Choose music or sound effects that fit your brand and message and use them to complement your visuals.
