MediaRadar’s 12 Ads of Christmas: 11 Cards a-Swiping

This is the second in our series of posts highlighting the 12 Ads of Christmas - our very own rendition of the "12 Days of Christmas."

In case you missed our opener, we sent our true love 12 Engines Humming - this year's best holiday car ads.

As Christmas inches ever closer, however, we move onward. Here, we'll take a look at 11 banks and credit cards that turn wish lists into dreams come true.

But first, let's refresh ourselves on the original jingle...

“On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me,
Twelve Drummers Drumming,
Eleven Pipers Piping,
Ten Lords a-Leaping,
Nine Ladies Dancing,
Eight Maids a-Milking,
Seven Swans a-Swimming,
Six Geese a-Laying,
Five Gold Rings,
Four Calling Birds,
Three French Hens,
Two Turtle Doves,
And a Partridge in a Pear Tree!”

MediaRadar's rendition, however, has 11 Cards a-Swiping.

Why do people get the warm fuzzy feeling around the holidays? It’s the anticipation.

The anticipation of giving and receiving, making wishes come true and, most importantly, an escape from the norm.

In similar fashion to Santa for kids, credit cards are a means of fantastic adventure and exciting purchases for adults (MediaRadar is a proponent of sensible fiscal spending).

The campaigns for credit card companies play on this sentiment in their ads, and the timing couldn’t be better.

We all spend time thinking of what to get others, but there’s a little part of us thinking about number one, and why not? It’s been a long year, treat yourself.

 

Here are some examples from companies hoping you’ll open up a new line of credit to do so:

Ad Integration in Sports: 2017 World Series

This is the first in a forthcoming series of posts in which we'll discuss ad integration across many different sports, including the NFL, NBA, NHL, and more. 


The Rise of OTT

Rising competition from OTT advertisers is leaving a lot to consider for networks telecasting live professional sporting events.

The rise in OTT programming is due to the way people now consume television.

The fact is not that people are no longer watching network programming, it’s that they are watching in more places than ever before.

For advertisers and ad sales reps, that means it’s becoming more and more difficult to know how to effectively reach viewers during sporting event broadcasts.
