ADVERTISING OPTIONS & DISCOUNTS

Televisual.com offers Banner and MPU advertising based on fixed sites for fixed periods (by calendar month). You can refresh or change your banner within any fixed periods as often as you would like. Televisual also offers sponsored features where you can tell a more complete story including images and embedded video.

BANNERS (728x90pixels)

The majority of the traffic comes to the News pages (80+%) with the Home, Features and ‘Other’ pages (combined just shy of 20% of traffic) sold together. Banners are sold as Top, Second or Third placement based on descending prominence (ranking) on the site.

MPUS (300×169/300/600pixels)

The advertising running on the right-hand side of the site is always the same whether News, Home, Features or other. Advertising is priced based on size, ranking (top to bottom) and length of placement.

There are three size options to choose from:

300x169pixels (16×9)

300x300pixels (square)

300x600pixels (portrait)

‘FEATURES’ (SPONSORED CONTENT)

Televisual offers sponsored ‘Features’ placement that sit alongside our own on the FEATURES pages. You can see a wide selection of sponsored Features HERE. This allows you to run content with images and even video from this site. Barring the “sponsored by” message at the top, the story is treated as if one of our own Features including being tweeted on posting and prominently included within our Newsletters. They have become increasingly popular over the past few years as unlike a Banner they offer deeper engagement.

Televisual Feature works as follows:

  • It is posted as a news story on day one and then runs within the ‘Features’ section on the Home Page for at least a week.
  • It is tweeted multiple times on first posting over the following 48 hours. (Our twitter feed has 16K followers) 
  • It is included in our Daily Newsletter within the top four stories on Day 1 and then further down the newsletter on Days 2 and 3. (The Daily newsletter is sent to a constantly purged database of just over 8,500 qualified industry executives.)

To run a Televisual Feature you would need:

  • Body text clearly expressing the premise and your offer (500 words is recommended and ideally less. Televisual can advise and help with copy)
  • Strong clear headline to length (see online examples)
  • A strong main image that ‘talks’ to the subject and ideally subsidiary images to run within the Feature.
  • And you have the option to run embedded video content if you send us a Vimeo or YouTube link
  • A clear call to action and contact details

EDITORIAL FILM SPONSORSHIP

Televisual ran a series of ‘editorial’ films – the Televisual Factual Films. This films explored  factual television commissioning with 12 films in total (covering the BBC, Channel 4 x 2, ITV, Channel 5 x 2, Sky, A+E TV Networks UK, Discovery UK) and a further two within the same series exploring producers views about the future and an anatomy of a major factual production. All of the films are open access on this site. Viewing figures have been in excess of 1,000 per film with an average viewing of around 800. In 2023, Televisual released two films about the animation and audio behind The Amazing Maurice.

You can see the films within a new online page – WWW.TELEVISUAL.COM/WATCH

Televisual offers a new sponsorship model to support editorial films and would like to discuss this with interested parties.  Sponsorship is overt at both the front and back of the films. Please contact james@televisual.com if you are interested in being part of what should prove a very compelling new offer.
