Advertising Around the 2024 Paris Olympics: Who Will Be Watching, and Why?

Olympic Games Advertising 2024 Audience Insights

Own the World’s Largest Moments with YouTube

Millions will flock to YouTube to stay updated on the Summer Olympics—whether they’re tuning into ads, fan-generated content, or the grand spectacle itself. Advertising on YouTube enables brands to connect with both pertinent content and vast audiences during these monumental cultural events.

Olympic Games Advertising Regulations: Rule 40

Before you delve into the Olympic Games advertising, it is crucial to understand the restrictions and regulations that come with it. Rule 40 is designed to safeguard the investments made by top-tier Olympic sponsors, which means that non-sponsors are prohibited from the use of specific Olympics-related terms, such as “Olympics”. Moreover, Rule 40 imposes a “black period”, during which the athletes are not allowed to post sponsored content for a specified duration before and after the games.

Seize the Moment with Advanced Contextual Targeting

With the Games’ widespread digital coverage and audiences able to watch events and related content whenever they want, advertisers are presented with a significant opportunity. By connecting with your relevant audience in the right context, and delivering personalized content at the right moment, brands can significantly increase attention and purchase intent.

Why does this matter?

Because ads seen in context are seen as highly relevant by consumers, leading to much higher CTRs and conversions. For example, contextual retargeted ads have ten times higher click-through rates compared to typical display ads.

When attention and alignment are part of your advertising strategy, ROI can increase by up to 30%. Contextual advertising enables brands with better engagement, increasing the likelihood of desired action from their potential consumers at a more affordable rate.

And when you consider the scale and reach of the Olympic Games, this presents a recipe for outstanding results.

Using Creative Intelligence to Your Advantage During the Olympics

Once you’ve designed your Olympic-specific campaign, the next crucial step is selecting the appropriate advertising platform for your brand.

Traditional linear TV ads, while impactful, come with a hefty price tag, often comparable to Super Bowl commercials. These high-profile advertising avenues may be viable for larger brands with sizable budgets. However, alternative channels such as Connected TV (CTV) or Online Video (OLV) often deliver better results for many companies, especially those seeking budget-friendly options.

Capturing the attention of a global audience during the Olympics demands more than conventional advertising methods. Interactive video advertising opens the door to a new level of connection between brands and their target audience. By allowing viewers to interact, brands can gather valuable insights into their preferences and behaviors. Incorporating elements of interactivity and gamification, these ads create an immersive experience that captivates viewers, encouraging them to tune into live programming and engage further.
