Television advertising is an exciting, engaging and unique opportunity to bring your brand to life and connect with audiences on a highly emotional level. Without a doubt, it’s one of the most effective and powerful mediums available to your business.

On average, people in Wales spent 2 hours 45 minutes per day watching broadcast TV, the second most of any nation in the UK (Ofcom, 2023).
On average, ITV reaches 80% of adults per month in Wales (ITV, 2023).

The Media Angel can help you advertise on any TV channel you want; whether you want to reach mass audiences on channels such as ITV Wales, or target audiences more specifically using channels such as Sky Sports, Dave, E4, or S4C.

Using Sky AdSmart, we are also able to target highly specific levels such as audience demographic profiles (age, gender affluence, regional location including first two letters of a postcode, etc.)

Radio Advertising

Radio promises advertisers significant scale and influence when broadcasting key messages. With one of the lowest levels of advertising avoidance, radio allows marketers to reach out to thousands of new customers as well as existing consumers with essential messages at key activity moments across the day.

Radio is seen as a cost-effective frequency medium that is great for generating high-reach figures and valuable for building a brand reputation.

Video on Demand Advertising

Video on demand is a hugely popular way of consuming television. Whether on a desktop, smartphone, tablet or console, the UK Adult population are motivated to watch TV online, due to the large collections of content and the ability to watch multiple episodes in one sitting, or even on the move!

VOD ads are the most cost-effective way to advertise on TV during popular programmes, and can be used to target niche or widely by genre, region and demographic profiling. As ads can’t be fast forwarded, for advertisers there is minimal wastage in ads not being seen in front of a mass audience.
