Learn How Mobile Can Break Through the TV Clutter … at Far Lower Costs

In ancient days before the Internet, we routinely added Radio and Outdoor to TV buys to build frequency at lower cost vs. adding more TV. Television provided the basic reach, with Radio/Outdoor acting as efficient reminder vehicles for the campaign.  This synergy allowed brands  to capitalize on the awareness generated by TV, while less expensive Radio/Outdoor served as ‘TV insurance’ to make sure the campaign fully saturated the target audience.
