Among the ways that TV grows brands:

• Uber's Moving Forward TV campaign successfully re-built its reputation: After a quarter of low growth with active users (+3%) and total trips taken (+4%), the campaign helped spur an average +10% growth in both users and trips over the next three quarters.
• AppleTV+'s consistent TV presence drove adoption and engagement of the new streaming service, as total time spent on the platform grew in line with its $174.7MM investment.
• Microsoft Teams utilized TV to increase its share of voice: Microsoft Teams established itself as the leading business communications platform through $172 MM in TV investment.
• Brands invest in TV early in their life stage to legitimize their product, e.g. Casper invested $31.2MM in its first three years from product launch.
• TV is the catalyst for short-term business results, igniting revenue growth for brands during the launch year of their first TV campaign, e.g. Away saw an increase of +213%.
• Within the heavily competitive mattress category, awareness skyrocketed for brands that launched TV campaigns, e.g. Purple saw a monthly traffic increase of +1127%.
• Brands that have expanded their customer base through strong TV launches have become unicorns, with valuations over $1 billion, e.g. Warby Parker, Keeps, Glossier.
• President Joe Biden found the path to victory for the 2020 Presidential Election by heavying up on his TV investment as election night drew closer: For Biden, a continuous advertising presence built brand salience – which ultimately led to votes on Election Day.
