Advertising Rebound Evident on Linear TV and VOD

ITV saw a 115% increase in spend in June 2021 from the first 6 months which saw ad sales rise by 29% with positive predictions for the following next 3 months.

June delivered the largest revenues for the month of June  for ITV in its history. A large portion of this increase can be attributed to the relaxing of restrictions and the Euros which was ITV’s most successful football tournament to date  Ad revenue grew by 29% in the first half of 2021 compared to a 21% downturn last year in the same month.

VOD advertising increased by 55% with advertisers using Planet V ITV’s sales platform and there was a 250% increase in VOD only campaigns.

Carolyn McCall, the chief executive of ITV explains that “You can get so much emotional messaging across – you can get tone across, joy across, you can uplift people with TV advertising,” McCall added, citing the recent Tyson Fury ad about mental health for the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM).

“People have realised the emotional stuff that you can communicate, which has become more important to them because of the pandemic, but also we’ve now also got the programmatic – the digital advertising, which is highly targeted.”
