Q. How effective is an average TV ad?
A. TV ads have a higher ROI than other types of digital ads. Analytics and research firm Neustar reports that for a $1 Million investment, television’s lift outperforms paid search by 7X and 5X better than online display advertising
Q. Has the money spent on digital advertising caused a similar fall in TV advertising, or are brands investing more across both channels?
