Vision
While Comcast is focused on creating value for its subscribers, Comcast Spotlight is focused on creating value and opportunity for its advertisers. We’ve created a television marketplace where both large and small advertisers can leverage the latest message delivery technologies, the most insightful marketing intelligence and the most innovative promotional opportunities. This approach – and the infrastructure behind it – allows us to create customized and compelling solutions for each advertiser.
While this is our overall vision, the multi-dimensional strategies below help guide our ever-growing ability to serve our customers and innovate for our advertisers:
1. Market Consolidation Comcast partners with other cable companies in many markets to form interconnects that make buying cable advertising easier. Advertisers can now reach all cable subscribers in a market with one-stop shopping -- one buy, one tape, and one invoice. Comcast's infrastructure of standardized interconnects provides a consistent buying experience in multiple markets. Comcast Spotlight now has more interconnects than any single broadcast group has owned and operated stations.
2. State-of-the-Art Promotional and Marketing Opportunities Cable network brands are some of the most valuable and recognizable brands today. Advertisers can take advantage of the great affinity viewers have for their favorite cable networks. Comcast Spotlight can tailor robust marketing campaigns that will leverage the connection between viewers and their favorite networks.
3. Standardized Network Offerings Comcast Spotlight is creating a consistent offering of 50 networks across our interconnects, allowing advertisers to buy the same networks across multiple markets. Standardized network offerings across markets reinforce Comcast Spotlight’s commitment to creating a cable advertising model that better meets the needs of today's media community.
4. Expansive Research Capabilities Comcast Spotlight collaborates with other cable companies to standardize national measurement practices that demonstrate the value of cable advertising. Comcast Spotlight subscribes to quantitative, qualitative, and business intelligence research tools such as Nielsen Media Research, Scarborough Research, and Mediamark Research Inc, in order to target audiences precisely.
5. Advanced Technology Comcast Spotlight is deploying new product extensions that will provide advertisers with the ability to customize messaging to target audiences across key markets through advanced geographic and demographic segmentation capabilities. Specifically, Adtag™ and Adcopy™ allow advertisers to segment the market by sub-DMA criteria -- geographic, demographic, or psychographic -- using aggregate data. Adtag and Adcopy boost the efficiency of the cable buy and are exclusive to cable advertising.
What’s more, Comcast Spotlight is developing new media solutions to redefine our business in the minds of our customers and to offer advertisers leading-edge advertising applications that shadow the advancements Comcast Cable is making with new products and services. Comcast Spotlight offers advertisers the opportunity to extend their brands on the Internet by pairing video buys with a presence on broadband sites. In addition, promotional websites and industry-specific sites provide advertisers with optimum branding capabilities.
History
In 2002, Comcast and AT&T Broadband completed a merger totaling $47.5 billion, which combined systems to serve over 21 million video customers in 41 states. One of the main assets to the merger was Comcast acquiring the AT&T Advertising Sales which had recently begun branching into local spot advertising. AT&T Advertising Sales was renamed Comcast Advertising Sales and spread into Comcast's other DMAs across the United States. After numerous other mergers and acquisitions in the following years, Comcast had many various advertising sales divisions under many different names and was looking for a way to group them under one national brand name. Comcast Spotlight was the name chosen after much debate and a two month contest in which employees could submit names for consideration. Comcast Spotlight was officially announced on February 2, 2005, with Charlie Thurston named the president.
