With the way people view TV changing dramatically in the last few years, traditional TV advertisements are no longer having the huge impact they once did. Future Generation Marketing were not surprised by a recent Meetrics report that suggests brands could have wasted £485m on adverts that weren't seen.

According to a new report from Meetrics, UK businesses may have wasted £485m in the second quarter of 2015 on adverts that were not viewed by consumers. Future Generation Marketing say they are not surprised. With an overload of TV and online advertisements, consumers may feel overwhelmed and the adverts do not have the same impact nowadays than compared to a decade ago. The view-ability figure is 49 per cent in the UK, well below the view-ability in other European countries such as Germany with 64 per cent and France with 62 per cent. Unilever's marketing director Keith Weed recently stated that anything less than 100 per cent is simply not good enough. Future Generation Marketing insist that direct marketing remains one of the most effective marketing tools.
