July sees reemergence of FMCG domination on Television - TAM Media

- 21 August, 03

Advertising on Television seen in recent days is quite different from what we saw in the earlier part of the year. An example of this can be seen from the table below, where a category like Aerated Soft Drinks was one of the most visible in the early part of the year but has slipped to the 66th position in July. Same is the case with Cellular Phone Services which dominated the World Cup but has since then slipped in terms of the overall weight of advertising.

These results are from a study of 7940 brands that advertised on Television between January and July this year. The parameter used to define 'visibility' was obviously GRPs (which is a function of number of audiences reached by that brand plus the exposures delivered to those audiences). As part of the study, the TV schedules for each of these brands were taken from TV ADEX and fused with viewership data from TAM Peoplemeter Study.

The story is no different for C&S homes. The 2nd most visible category, Aerated Soft Drinks has slipped to the 119th position in July! There could be various hypotheses on this… the 'Seasonality' of product categories, the situation in the markets, the fact that some players spent most of their annual budgets during the World Cup itself… and so on.
