Q&A: Brands and Agencies

My planning group needs budget allocation across many types of media in one place, how does this fit in? Cross screen media comparison is vital these days. It's also our product offering to brands and agencies. How can you make informed decisions without knowing how other media types perform? We track the large scale TV audiences down to the ZIP Code to compare network, spot, cable, digital video and even accomodate traditional media like print that has subscribers by ZIP. Do the media vendors want you to know the answers? We do. Contact Us

Do you supply transparency and reporting? Networks, dayparts, and locations, allow you see where your media dollars go. The platform can be licensed as a managed service, or a self-serve solution. An internet connection gets you started because it already works today. Used daily for the last 20 years, it’s not vaporware. It’s a validated, transparent, and low risk solution. Contact Us

Why is geography so important below the DMA level? Granular measurement of matched TV audiences often produces a far greater target impression value for advertisers than just program targeting. Indexing TV audiences anywhere in the country highlights audience concentration and value. We’ve built the foundation for accurate measurement of all media types from the census block up, so you can find out what is available in each ZIP. Contact Us

But I’m a national advertiser, why do I want to geo-target my audience? Network consumption across the whole country is extremely uneven. Tango’s data-driven national TV solution can uncover superior efficiencies. This approach will make a difference in your TV campaigns by:

  1. Reducing out of pocket expense where it’s not necessary, or likely to yield the right audience.
  2. A national level Targeted TV campaign can yield affordable results by targeting specific trading areas/radii across the US. Contact Us

Is Tango Media Suite a programmatic TV platform? Tango analyzes, plans, and executes advanced TV advertising using the same audience data, speed and automation. So if you have a programmatic HH segment ID list we can match that to linear TV audiences. Our value proposition extends to a deep inventory pool, that goes beyind current limited programmatic offerings. Contact Us

Is it TV advertising specifically, or can it handle other media? TV is our start, but we play well with our media friends. Standard Broadcast/Network TV offerings can be aligned with: Hyper-local Targeted TV, CTV, Interconnects, Local and Regional News and Sports, Satellite Providers, Telcos, and OTT. Print and radio footprints can be layered in TangoGEO, along with a count of digital/mobile opportunities to fill in the holes. Contact Us

As a marketer, we have lots of CRM data, can you handle it? WE LOVE DATA! Our Linear DSP has many APIs that handle all kinds of data. Just a sample of what we ingest and process: political affiliation, Census, Lat/Long, Nielsen, Rentrak, Polk. 1st Party: loyalty programs, ticket sales, inventory delivery tracking, search/IP matches, CDC disease states, even weather triggers. We believe data-driven TV plans are supportive of the entire marketing process. Contact Us

But, on the other handif I don’t have much data, what can the Tango platform tell me? A lot can start with a single address, clusters, a congressional district, or the entire country. Comparing the media options available matches audiences that will increase your reach. Our data-driven platform can drive far superior results than traditional buying methods. Contact Us

Can my planners and buyers use this? Yes to both. From the “what ifs?” of planning to the CPM goals of buying. Tango Media Systems changes the advantage to the demand side where you can have the information on the whole marketplace. The client’s metrics are applied so only you know what's important.
