Audience Navigation & Break Retention

Audience navigation

Do you do enough to keep your audiences within your portfolio?

Whilst working with broadcasters we have realised significant increases in advertising revenue, as a result of improving both break retention and audience navigation across their portfolios.

Our projects focus on two main areas:

  1. How to best utilise your navigational tools to keep audiences within your portfolio – both linear and digital.

  2. Micro analysis of your audiences across breaks to understand their actions and make recommendations to your schedule/break construction to improve audience retention.

Identifying the role for different navigational tools forms the foundation of a navigation strategy to retain audiences
