Investing in TV Shows Over Commercials:
Rather than spending on traditional commercials, companies should consider investing in the production of TV shows that highlight their brand or destination. Not only do these shows provide a more engaging and immersive experience for viewers, but they also offer long-term benefits in terms of increased brand recognition, customer loyalty, and positive word-of-mouth marketing.
