At the same time, they\u2019re relying less on intuition to choose the most suitable programming for their brands, according to Mel Berning, A+E Networks\u2019 President of Sales.<\/p>\n
He sees these trends as a welcome sign that the industry is moving beyond traditional age\/sex demographics for audience targeting and defends the broadcast TV environment against newer platforms.<\/p>\n
Whereas targeting traditionally has been the province of the advertisers, they have been \u201cvery protective of their data and very protective of sharing information about who their real target is,\u201d Berning<\/a> says in this interview with Beet.TV. \u201cI don\u2019t think any of that is going to change.\u201d<\/p>\nHowever, he perceives \u201cmuch more of an appetite to work together in terms of advertisers, data suppliers and networks like A+E\u201d for a deeper understanding of audiences.<\/p>\n
This involves moving beyond the concept of, say, women 18-49 who buy certain products to \u201cwomen who live certain kinds of lifestyles or who have certain mind frames use products for a bunch of reasons, and it\u2019s really delving into those reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n
He says marketers have long chosen certain types of content based on their intuition that scripted content might be appropriate for certain brands and unscripted \u201cbecause it\u2019s very energetic\u201d for others.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut now we have a lot more data that proves that certain kinds of people with certain kinds of likes and dislikes and different amounts of receptivity to messaging are all part of the audience,\u201d Berning says.<\/p>\n
The big difference between an A+E and newer content providers, according to Berning, \u201cis really the quality of our content.\u201d<\/p>\n
From an advertising standpoint, \u201cWe think there\u2019s a pacing and a quality to the environment because of the content that we provide that really makes the audience more receptive.\u201d<\/p>\n
He points to Viceland, History Channel\u2019s scripted series Vikings and SIX and Live PD as standouts at A+E.<\/p>\n
