To ensure you're working with a partner that aligns with your goals, we've compiled a list of questions to act as a starting point to ask a potential, or your current, TV advertising agency.


These are the questions we hold ourselves accountable to within TVADSWORK, ensuring we meet the highest standards for our clients.



Agency expertise and approach


  • Do the agency Directors/Owners actively oversee and contribute to campaigns?


  • Does the agency fully understand TV advertising and simplify the process for new advertisers?


  • Can they look at your business holistically and provide recommendations to improve campaign effectiveness?


  • Do they treat all clients equally, regardless of media spend?


Maximising media spend


  • Does the agency utilise both linear and advanced TV advertising to optimise reach?


  • Can they secure the best possible support from broadcasters through their relationships with local and national sales houses?


  • Do they pass any cost savings directly to you?


  • Will they ensure your TV campaign integrates seamlessly with your digital marketing efforts?


Creative development and execution


  • Does the agency offer in-house creative services to streamline communication between planning and creative teams?


  • Will your creative align with your campaign objectives?


  • Can they eliminate unnecessary third-party costs?


  • How do they ensure your ad connects emotionally with your audience?


  • Will they develop a strong features and benefits led message for your campaign?


Data-driven strategy and performance tracking


  • Do they use industry leading software for detailed campaign analysis?


  • Pre-Campaign: Can they reconcile data from any previous campaigns, even those they didn't manage?


  • During the Campaign: Do they offer in-flight reporting and have the ability to adjust schedules if needed?


  • Post Campaign: Will they provide accountability reports, demonstrating ROI and audience engagement?


  • Are they proactive in bringing new ideas and strategies to improve your results?


Additional services to enhance your campaign


  • Do they also offer planning and creative support for radio campaigns?


  • Can they arrange cinema advertising?


  • Do they also specialise in Amazon Prime TV?

Asking these questions will help you align with a TV advertising agency that not only delivers great results, but also acts as a true strategic partner. The right agency for your brand will ensure your investment is optimised, your message resonates and your brand grows effectively.
