In light of a tumultuous economy and high living costs, advertisers proceeded with caution in their spending during 2023. However, predictions indicate a revival in TV media inflation by 2024, with global estimates settling around 3%.

Major sporting events such as the Paris 2024 Olympics, Paralympics and UEFA Euros in Germany are expected to boost advertisers’ confidence in media investments.

In the UK, the overall media inflation is expected to surge from 0.9% in 2023 to 2.2% in 2024. The mixed effect will be observed across different media types, with out-of-home inflation anticipated to rise the most at 4%, followed by TV, online video (2.8%), radio (2.2%) and online display (1.4%). Conversely, magazine and newspaper inflations are predicted to witness a downswing by 1.7% and 1.8% respectively.

The EMEA region is on track to experience substantial inflation worldwide at 3.8%, second only to Latin America, which foresees an impressive 11.4% increase.

Fredrik Kinge, ECI Media Management’s global chief executive, noted TV as joining the group of media types with single-digit inflation, with print being the only exception. This scenario resonates with an overall image of pricing stability in the UK.

On a global scale, OOH and online video are outlining the highest inflation forecasts. TV, too, is predicted to experience inflation in all regions except North America, which stays deflationary following the Hollywood strikes.

The landscape of television consumption is undergoing a remarkable transformation, heralding a new era in advertising methodologies. Among the forefront of these advancements is Connected TV (CTV), a paradigm shift enabling viewers to engage with a vast array of internet-enabled content through devices such as Smart TVs, streaming sticks (Roku, Amazon Fire TV), and gaming consoles (PlayStation, Xbox). This evolution presents an unprecedented opportunity for advertisers in the United Kingdom to connect with audiences in a more targeted and interactive manner.

The Evolution of Viewing Preferences

The UK is witnessing a significant shift in viewer behavior, with traditional linear TV viewership on the decline—over 25% of the audience now engages less with conventional TV than just a year ago. Conversely, ad-supported streaming services are on the rise, with a preference rate of 68% among UK consumers, underscoring a clear preference for this model over subscription-based alternatives.

Why Connected TV is Transformative for UK Marketing

Connected TV advertising stands out for its ability to deliver:

• Precision Targeting: Surpassing basic demographic segmentation, CTV allows advertisers to reach audiences based on detailed criteria such as interests, viewing patterns, and even purchasing history

• Enhanced Engagement: With innovative ad formats, including shoppable ads and interactive overlays, CTV ads engage viewers more effectively, driving measurable actions.

• Insightful Data Analysis: Advertisers can access comprehensive data on viewer engagement and campaign performance, enabling refined and optimized marketing strategies.
• Efficiency and Reduced Ad Wastage: CTV advertising offers a more efficient use of ad budgets by focusing on relevant audiences, significantly reducing the inefficiencies associated with traditional TV advertising.
