BVOD

TV has changed dramatically. While the popularity of paid streaming platforms continues to rise, free-to-air TV still holds a captive audience amongst Australians. With consumer attention divided across multiple platforms, find out why more marketers than ever are choosing broadcast video on demand (BVOD) to stay connected with the right audiences, and make every ad dollar work harder.

What is BVOD?

BVOD stands for Broadcast Video on Demand, and this refers to all content from traditional TV broadcasters that is made available online via your mobile, PC or tablet or via your smart tv.

BVOD allows you to watch live tv by streaming it or allows you to catch up on content, watching what you want, when you want to watch it. BVOD is a medium that has grown significantly and continues to grow significantly in both audience and advertising revenue. This has a lot to do with agencies and client’s “chasing the audience” as it has certainly shifted.

Adding it into your media spend.

We always recommend a % of your terrestrial TV budgets go towards BVOD to ensure we are achieving incremental reach. There are many people now that only watch TV via BVOD who you simply will not be able to reach via traditional terrestrial TV.​
