Google TV Adds
November 5th 2007
Have you all seen the new introduction of Google TV Adds? Briljant. I hope this comes to us rathers sooner than later since I think that it would be easy to run a TV campaign. One thing that Google does briljantly is tap into the vast amount of spendable communication dollars that would normally not be used on TV commercials. This seems like a good idea but I beg to differ.
I have done my studies in communication and management and I have always learnt that you need to have a critical mass before you reach the goal you wish to reach. So if you count on running a cheap campaign in order to stay on budget you could be left in the rain. Running a campaign on Google TV Adds could, when you run it on a tight budget, be a waste of money. But because you can does not meen you should.
The big benefits of this is that you do not need to pay retail for your adds, you can have more impression for the same budget, it is easy to manage, you can easilly track you results.
The drawbacks are you do not know you will reach youraudience (unless you pay top dollar), and you will be tempted to spend money without any results.
Google TV Adds, a good initiative in a world full of opportunities.
