In the field of audiovisual media in particular, new ways of communicating messages in a targeted and personalised way are constantly emerging. In the process Addressable advertising is becoming increasingly important. This form makes it possible to combine traditional reach with precise personalisation - directly on TV, without the use of traditional advertising blocks.
While traditional television advertising often has to accept scatter losses, the Addressable advertising companies to reach target groups precisely.

How addressable advertising works on TV
Basis for Addressable advertising are internet-enabled televisions, especially smart TVs. Individual advertising content is played out to households via digital interfaces - often when changing channels or in the form of banners that do not completely interrupt the current programme.
Typical criteria for targeting are demographic characteristics (age, gender), regional parameters (place of residence, weather), interests or purchasing behaviour. Based on this data, companies can control the design and display of their advertising messages in a very targeted manner.
For example, a car manufacturer uses Addressable advertising, to show adverts for electric cars, especially in urban regions with environmentally conscious target groups. At the same time, a local retailer only reaches consumers in its catchment area with current special offers.
Practical example from the consumer electronics industry
A manufacturer of smart devices uses Addressable advertising to present new functions of the models to its target group. In terms of content, the advertising messages are based on the usage behaviour of the viewers; for example, a special feature is highlighted for those with an affinity for technology, while lifestyle-oriented users are shown other benefits.
