Q: When & where will Sky AdSmart be availabe?
AdSmart ads are placed seamlessly into the linear stream when the chosen audience is watching, so your ad could play out at any time. The following channels currently allow AdSmart ads to be inserted in the ad breaks (with the exception of live programming):
Q: Will the viewer know they have seen a Sky AdSmart ad?
Customers won’t be able to tell any difference except the ads they see may be more relevant.
Q: Will I be able to watch the ad when it is played out?
You will only be able to see your advert if your household falls into the segment you have selected for the campaign..
Q: How will I know that my spots have been transmitted?
We will provide you with comprehensive campaign level reporting of your impressions.
Q: How do programme genre and AdSmart work together?
AdSmart uses an algorithm that helps to make sure that ads play out when a chosen audience is most likely to be watching. It takes into account the projected linear audience which helps to enhance targeting within the household.
AdSmart also takes into account normal clash rules.
Q: What length of ad can I do with AdSmart?
Your ad should be standard lengths – 10, 20,30, 40 or 60 seconds.
Q: What happens if a customer is watching recorded content?
If a customer is watching recorded content and views the ads at normal viewing speed then a AdSmart can play out.
The AdSmart ad chosen will be from the selection of ads stored on the box at the time of viewing so old recordings will have current ads.
Q: If you have a linear campaign and a AdSmart campaign, do they have to run at the same time or can they have variable dates?
AdSmart campaigns can have independent start and end dates from linear campaigns.
Q: Can I use my own customer knowledge / data to reach my ideal customers?
Yes! We offer advertisers the opportunity to use their own customer data to create custom segments, particularly if they hold data at the household level.
Q: Can I select the channels & programmes that I buy?
AdSmart is an audience based platform thus the ad will only be served when your audience is watching, no matter which channel or programme they are viewing. This means that you don’t need to select a channel or programme.
Q: How do I know the data is accurate?
To ensure the data is robust we have engaged RSMB to perform an independent audit of the measurement methodology. RSMB are the market leaders in television audience measurement design, operation and quality control. They are responsible for auditing BARB, the organisation that measures linear TV viewing in the UK. Find out more about RSMB here.
Q: Will I be charged even if my advert is only shown for a few seconds?
We only charge advertisers when 75% or more of the ad is shown at normal viewing speed.
