Consumers are getting maxed out on subscriptions. Whilst subscriptions soared in lockdown, the return to (mostly) normal now means there’s less consumer demand for at-home entertainment.

To understand how effective this advertising is, Kantar tested a range of VoD provider ads covering brand, trailer and sports from the major entertainment on demand brands in the UK, to find the winning strategies and common pitfalls. From our research, we’ve learnt:

  • When to break with convention

  • The advertising levers VoD advertisers need to improve
