Your client is launching a new product into the market. If the objective of the TV campaign is to talk to as many of the target audience as possible, what approach would you recommend?

• A. A low Reach and Frequency strategy to afford continuity.
• B. A 1+ reach strategy utilising as many cost effective programs as possible.
• C. Skew your ratio of programming to Off Peak so that you can afford more weeks on air.
• D. Set a 3+ effective Reach goal so that your message is remembered.

Answer: (B)

The main concept is maximizing reach to the target audience efficiently. If the objective is to talk to as many people in the audience as possible, you want a plan that spreads the message wide rather than piling exposures on a few viewers. A 1+ reach approach focuses on ensuring each person in the target sees the ad at least once, and doing so through many cost-effective programs expands total unique exposure without blowing the budget. This combination of broad coverage and cost efficiency makes the message likely to reach more of the intended audience quickly, which is ideal for launching a new product. In contrast, aiming for lower overall reach, pushing more weeks on air by skewing to off-peak, or chasing higher 3+ reach would increase repetition for fewer people and reduce total reach, slowing awareness-building.
