WiO Provides Local TV Advertisers With Real-Time Engagement and Instant RR% Data To Help Optimize Local TV Spending Quickly.
Unlocking the Power of Local TV Advertising with Data-Driven Precision
Local TV advertising remains one of the most effective ways to connect with targeted communities, but advertisers, agencies, and media companies have long struggled to track performance, measure engagement, and optimize campaigns at scale. Traditional TV ad measurement relies on broad audience estimates and delayed reporting, making it difficult to maximize impact and ROI.
WiO changes that by offering a fully managed, agnostic platform that seamlessly integrates with advertisers, their agencies, and media companies to handle even the most complex local campaigns. Unlike fragmented solutions requiring multiple vendors, WiO provides a single, streamlined system for managing CTV and Linear TV campaigns across 210 markets and 820+ stations.
Beyond just traditional daypart tracking, WiO measures engagement down to the second, identifying exactly when and where viewers are interacting with ads. With instant heat maps, advertisers can visually assess performance in real-time. Additionally, WiO’s unique focus on "engagement periods" ensures that ads run when audiences are most likely to take action and engage.
The Challenge: Why Local & National TV Ads Need Better Tracking & Attribution
TV advertising remains powerful, but traditional measurement methods leave critical gaps in performance tracking. Advertisers often receive broad audience estimates but lack real-time data on impressions and engagement. This makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact moments when viewers are most engaged and optimize ad spend accordingly. Managing national campaigns across multiple stations and markets further complicates the process, requiring a sophisticated tracking system that can measure engagement at scale.
Another major challenge is the lack of real-time response rate (RR%) calculations, leaving advertisers unable to measure instant ad effectiveness based on real-world audience actions. WiO solves these challenges by combining real-time impression tracking, heat maps, creative overlays, and scalable QR code activations into a single, data-driven advertising solution.
How WiO Tracks & Optimizes TV Advertising in Real-Time
WiO brings digital-level precision to TV advertising, offering advertisers a way to measure real-time response rates by tracking audience engagement down to the seconds, along with CTV and Linear TV impression data.
Real-Time Impression Tracking for Both CTV & Linear TV
WiO provides instant visibility into impressions, engagement patterns, and response rates across both CTV and Linear TV. The CTV Impression Measurement feature captures real-time viewership data within digital streaming environments, while Linear TV Impression Tracking provides station- and market-level insights for traditional broadcasts. Unlike broad time-slot tracking, WiO’s second-by-second engagement analysis pinpoints precisely when audience engagement spikes, allowing advertisers to make informed, data-driven decisions.
With real-time response rate (RR%) calculations, WiO instantly correlates impressions to actual engagements, giving advertisers a precise metric for ad effectiveness. Heat maps further enhance tracking by visually identifying high-performing time slots, enabling Local TV advertisers campaign adjustments instead of waiting for post-campaign reports.
Engagement Period Tracking: Finding the Best Time to Advertise
Traditional TV advertising relies on dayparting, where ads are placed based on broad time slots. However, WiO takes this further with Engagement Period Tracking, identifying the exact moments when audiences are most likely to interact with ads. Instead of assuming that prime time is the best-performing window, WiO analyzes viewer engagement down to the second, providing data-driven insights into when QR codes are scanned most often and when viewers are most likely to respond to CTAs.
This real-time engagement tracking allows advertisers to optimize ad spend, adjust placements dynamically, and align campaigns with actual audience behavior. By shifting placements to match real-world engagement trends, advertisers maximize ROI and ensure that their ads run at the most impactful moments.
Creative Overlays: Driving More Engagement with Interactive TV Ads
WiO doesn’t just track engagement—it enhances ad effectiveness with custom creative overlays, including L-shaped creative and calls to action, that encourage viewer interaction. These interactive elements turn passive TV ads into action-driven campaigns, increasing audience engagement and making TV ads shippable, engageable, and as tracking as digital.
With Branded Call-to-Action (CTA) Overlays, advertisers can include custom messaging that prompts immediate action, while engagement tracking measures real-time response rates (RR%) based on viewer interactions. WiO also incorporates interactive elements such as QR Codes. Importantly, these creative overlays work across all formats, making them compatible with Linear TV, CTV, and digital video ads for a seamless multi-platform experience.
Large-Scale QR Code Campaigns: Precision at Scale
WiO’s ability to manage hundreds of QR codes across different locations, local stations, networks, and creatives is one of its most powerful features. Advertisers can assign unique QR codes for each local station, providing station-level engagement tracking and ensuring that ad performance can be measured at a granular level.
Second-by-second QR code tracking allows advertisers to compare exactly when engagement occurs, helping them refine placement strategies for optimal performance. For multi-market campaigns, WiO assigns geo-station-specific QR codes, allowing advertisers to track engagement in different regions or at individual retail locations. WiO's capability allows for A/B testing, where brands can experiment with different ad creatives and offers, optimizing for maximum engagement based on real-time performance insights.
By leveraging WiO’s QR code tracking capabilities, advertisers gain precise performance insights, making large-scale local TV campaigns more accountable and measurable than ever before.
Cross-Platform Attribution: Connecting TV to Digital Conversions
WiO doesn’t just track TV ads—it connects engagement data across digital platforms to provide a full-funnel attribution model. This means advertisers can track TV-to-mobile conversions, measuring how TV ad exposure translates into digital actions such as website visits, purchases, and app downloads.
WiO also enables CTV + Linear TV attribution, allowing local advertisers to compare ad performance across traditional and streaming TV to broaden their optimization needs.
