As the fireworks light up the sky this Fourth of July, there’s another kind of spark that marketers should be chasing – one that ignites real business results. While the grill’s heating up and the flags are flying, brands that invest in performance TV are already setting the stage for a high-impact second half of the year.
Because let’s face it: attention is a precious commodity, and during holidays like the Fourth, it’s more available than ever. Families gather, screens are on, and consumers are ready to engage. The brands that show up now? They stay top of mind well past the long weekend.
📺 The Power of TV: More Than Just a Patriotic Play
TV advertising, especially when backed by performance strategy, isn’t just about waving the flag and hoping for awareness. It’s about targeting the right audience, at the right time, with the right message, and being able to prove that it worked.
Linear and Connected TV (CTV) allow brands to tell stories that capture attention on a big screen while layering in the targeting and attribution models needed to track impact from first impression to final purchase.
In fact, TV remains one of the most powerful reach drivers, with CTV’s flexibility allowing advertisers to get granular while maintaining scale. According to eMarketer, U.S. advertisers are expected to spend more than $30 billion on CTV in 2024, and it’s not just for brand building. CTV has become a performance channel in its own right.
🎯 Why Performance TV is a Smart Summer Strategy
While your competitors wait for Q4 to make noise, smart marketers use this “in-between” season to build momentum. July is the perfect time to:
- Launch test campaigns that gather performance insights before peak shopping season
- Layer in audience retargeting based on early engagement
- Bridge the gap between linear and digital, driving consumers from the couch to conversion
- Measure everything from lift in site traffic to real-time ROAS
Whether it’s a national brand looking for scale or a challenger brand making waves, performance TV levels the playing field.
💡 From Fireworks to Follow-Through
A great holiday campaign doesn’t end on July 5th. When done right, your TV spots become the start of a longer customer journey – one that continues through retargeting, social media integration, QR codes, and customized landing pages.
