3 Ways to Reach Consumers Based Upon Their TV Habits

The start of fall means the return of favorite TV shows—and the introduction of new ones. With so much conversation happening around buzz-worthy TV shows on social, brands are eager to join in. If you’re looking to interject your brand into these conversations, here are three ways to reach consumers talking about TV shows on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.


Viewership Habits (Facebook and Instagram)

TV viewership covers the spectrum from low to heavy, so it’s important to know how to reach TV viewers who are likely to be part of the discussion. Through behavior targeting, you’re able to reach users based on their viewership habits. Of the three options (light U.S. TV viewers, moderate U.S. TV viewers, and heavy U.S. TV viewers), users in the moderate and heavy buckets are those likely to engage with TV shows on social.

Show Genres

With so many TV genres out there, it’s important to share your message where it’s relevant based on the sentiment created by different themes. Having the right targeting is like making sure you don’t enter a serious conversation with a joke.

Behaviors (Facebook and Instagram)

With behavior targeting, you’re able to reach people based on their television behavior, specifically the TV genres they’re in to. Genres include action, drama, sitcoms, entertainment, health, and news.

Interests (Twitter)

Reach users interested in all movie and television genres or focus on specific genres such as comedy, horror, or sci-fi fantasy.
