What Is BVOD?
Short answer
BVOD stands for Broadcaster Video on Demand.
It refers to television programmes and content watched on demand through established broadcasters' streaming platforms, such as ITVX, Channel 4, Sky Go and 5
Explanation
BVOD advertising allows businesses to show their adverts to viewers watching this content, combining the trust and credibility of traditional television with the precise audience targeting and measurement capabilities of digital advertising.
Unlike traditional broadcast TV, where adverts are shown to everyone watching a programme at the same time, BVOD advertising can deliver different adverts to different viewers based on their audience characteristics.
Using broadcaster audience insights alongside first-party and third-party data, businesses can target audiences according to factors such as age, location, interests, household characteristics and viewing behaviour.
This makes BVOD a particularly effective way to reach relevant audiences while reducing wasted advertising spend.
Plus, BVOD advertising allows businesses to show their adverts alongside premium content that they otherwise might not be able to afford around it's linear broadcast ... think Love Island, I'm A Celebrity etc.
