A Sky partner agency.

We're a Sky partner agency, trusted with brands to maximise their reach using the AdSmart platform — and an STV advertising partner too. That means the right advice, the right rates, and a team the broadcasters themselves refer clients to.

Why it works

The credibility of TV, with the precision of digital.

TV remains the medium people trust most and remember longest. What's changed is control. You no longer buy a slot and hope the right people are watching — you buy an audience. Target by location, age, household income, lifestyle and interests, then measure the impact on your website and enquiries. That combination is why targeted TV is one of the fastest-growing routes for ambitious regional and national advertisers alike.

How much does TV advertising cost?

The honest answer: it depends on the platform, your audience size and how long you run. But targeted TV is far more accessible than most people assume.

  • Targeted campaigns (e.g. Sky AdSmart) start from around £3,000 in media spend.
  • On AdSmart you typically only pay when at least 75% of your ad is watched — roughly 5p per view.
  • We can produce an ad to suit almost any budget, from smart cost-effective builds to full creative productions.

For businesses of any size

Is TV advertising right for a small business?

Yes — and that's the biggest shift of the last few years. Targeted platforms mean a local restaurant, a regional retailer or a growing service business can run a genuine TV campaign, seen only by the households they actually want to reach.

No wastage on viewers 400 miles away who'll never walk through the door. If you've ever thought "TV isn't for a business our size," it's worth a five-minute conversation.

Good to know

TV advertising FAQs

How much does it cost to advertise on TV?

Targeted TV campaigns start from around £3,000 in media spend. The total depends on the platform, how tightly you target and how long you run. We'll build a plan to fit your budget.

Can a small business advertise on TV?

Absolutely. Platforms like Sky AdSmart let you show your ad only to the specific households you want to reach, which makes TV affordable and efficient for local and regional businesses.

How is TV advertising targeted now?

Modern TV lets you target by location, age, household income, lifestyle and interests — then measure the effect on your website and enquiries, just like digital advertising.

What's the difference between Sky AdSmart and STV advertising?

Sky AdSmart serves targeted ads to specific households across many channels; STV reaches a broad Scottish audience on the nation's biggest commercial channel. Many campaigns use both — we'll advise on the right mix.

Do you make the advert as well as buy the airtime?

Yes. We're a creative and media agency, so we handle everything from concept and production to planning, buying and reporting.

Not just Sky

Looking to advertise on STV, Channel 4 or ITV?

We plan and buy across all the major broadcasters. Whatever screen your audience is watching, we'll get you there — with independent advice on the right mix for your budget.
