In today's media world, **targeted advertising** is becoming increasingly important because it enables target groups to be addressed precisely and individually. Innovative broadcast formats such as addressable TV in particular open up a new dimension for decision-makers to position advertising messages effectively and significantly reduce wastage. The concept of tailoring advertising to individual viewer profiles rather than generalised advertising is very appealing to marketing managers. This increases the efficiency of campaigns and improves the return on investment.
How Addressable TV expands the possibilities of targeted advertising
Addressable TV uses detailed data such as demographic characteristics, location and user behaviour to reach households or individual users in a targeted manner. In contrast to traditional TV advertising, where all viewers see the same ad, consumers receive personalised content that corresponds to their interests. For example, a household with children may receive different adverts than a single household. Companies from the consumer goods industry, for example, benefit from addressing families in a differentiated way and thus placing their marketing messages in a more targeted manner.
Media companies use addressable TV, particularly for product launches, to reach different customer segments simultaneously with suitable advertising messages. Car manufacturers also use this form of targeted advertising to advertise different models locally with suitable financing options without unnecessarily wasting budget on uninterested viewers.
Another important area is retail: retailers can play out customised offers for their respective store locations based on regional data. Interested customers receive exactly the promotions that are relevant to them, which strengthens customer loyalty and increases conversion rates.

A leading provider in the consumer electronics sector used addressable TV to advertise new smart TV models in urban centres. Using personalised advertising messages, they were able to reach households that were already interested in smart home technologies. As a result, the client significantly increased its click and purchase figures and reported much more efficient advertising expenditure.
Advantages of targeted advertising in the context of modern media communication
The most important advantage of **targeted advertising** is that it minimises wastage. Brands can address the right recipients directly with a smaller budget because the delivery of messages is precisely controlled. This leads to a higher perception of the advertising and increases the chance of positive reactions, for example in the form of website visits or purchases.
Targeted advertising also improves the user experience, as consumers are not confronted with irrelevant adverts. The positive effect on brand perception is particularly familiar to companies in the financial sector, which use personalised adverts to provide information about individual insurance offers or loans.
Measurability is also a key advantage: successes can be observed, adjusted and optimised in real time. For example, telecoms providers report that they not only generate better quality leads with Addressable TV, but can also react more quickly to changes in the market.

An insurance company used targeted television advertising for different age groups. The analyses revealed an improved customer approach and an increased acquisition rate, as the advertising content was precisely tailored to the respective needs and life phases of the target groups.
Practical tips for the successful use of targeted advertising
It is advisable for companies to first analyse the target groups in detail and then develop suitable advertising messages for each segment group. Tools that evaluate the interests of users, their purchasing behaviour and other data can help here.
Creativity also plays a role: different advertising formats and content should be tested to find out what works best. For example, a manufacturer of household appliances reports that short, humorous clips are particularly well received by the younger target group, while detailed product presentations are more convincing for the older target group.
In addition, continuous analysis and adjustment is crucial to ensure the long-term success of targeted advertising. Advertisers should regularly analyse campaign data in order to further reduce wastage and identify new trends at an early stage.
