Several examples of a classic TV ad
Babybel x Marvel
For the start of the 2021 school year, Babybel and Marvel have common values such as courage and positivism. The two brands are joining forces for "Back to School Heroes".
The collaboration between Babybel and Marvel can be found on Babybel packaging with 12 original superhero designs to collect. This TV sport takes us back to the world of superheroes with a prize: a competition in which 100% of the participants win a Marvel backpack.
Burger King
In June 2021, Burger King is happy to welcome back its customers for the reopening of the restaurants. Even the most "reluctant": the indecisive, the fickle, the thrifty, the clumsy, the free-riders...
The fast-food company relied on its humour for this commercial. Consumers love the offbeat tone of Burger King. A good idea for your next TV commercial!
What is TV sponsorship?
TV sponsorship is when a sponsor is associated with a TV programme. The duration of a spot can be between 6 and 12 seconds. This is the ideal format to quickly develop your company's reputation. The sponsor brand is present in the sponsorship credits (otherwise known as billboards) which are broadcast at the beginning and end of the programme.
TV sponsorship billboards are short graphic and sound animations that present the sponsor of a TV programme. There are two forms of TV billboards. The first takes the form of the sponsor's logo or name which is inserted at the beginning or end of the programme. The second takes the form of a small spot that is shown off-screen just before and after the programme is broadcast.
The advantages of TV sponsorship
- Communication method in vogue with advertisers
- Highlighting of the advertiser's name, which allows for quick and effective recall
