It also contrasts TV attention metrics in India to what is happening in the United States. Download the report here.
Some highlights include:
- Prime, Late Night and Early Fringe dayparts performed the best in India, while all other dayparts performed below industry norms.
- Shorter Ads (:10 or :15 second ads) capture attention more efficiently, but deliver less attention overall, compared to longer ads.
- Ratings do not necessarily correlate to high attention. For example, Indian dramas and soaps have a larger proportion of GRPs but lower attention.
- Cricket offers both high attention and a high proportion of GRPs, making it a strong value for advertisers.
- The IPL, which is the cricket league in India, performs especially well. In fact it delivers 41% higher Attention than the norm.
