More efficient, interactive and
innovative
25 years after the creation of
Antena 3
and
Onda Cero
, innovation, effi-
ciency and profitability continue to be the pillars on which
Atresmedia
Publicidad
is founded so that it offers the best service to its customers.
Innovation because advertising progresses quickly, as do new consum-
er habits, and because a hyper-connected society needs communication
through the new media, whose scope and possibilities are still to be fully
discovered. For this, and because innovating also means researching, in
2014
Atresmedia
created
AtresmediaLab
in order to fully take advantage
of the new multi-screen advertising opportunities and increase its effec-
tiveness.
Atresmedia Publicidad
has also managed to incorporate creativity into
planning. It has good reasons to jointly market its television channels,
radio stations, internet portals and new media whose complementarity
increases their effectiveness, provided that there is reliable awareness of
the effect of each media, the short and long-term performance of the
different media channels and the maximum level of recognition that each
can achieve. Only then is it possible to ensure the greatest profitability.
Investment in advertising has returned to television, which increased its
share compared to the other conventional media (+1.7 points vs. 2013)
and grew by 11% compared to the levels seen in the previous year. This
trend is the result of the improvement in the macroeconomy, but funda-
mentally also because of the effort to contain prices, a decision that has
allowed
Atresmedia
to strongly improve its efficiency.
2014 has been characterised by the growing improvement in advertising
investment in television, which in the January-September period showed
an increase of 2.3 market share points compared to the other convention-
al media. However, it has also been a year marked by the closure of three
channels,
Nitro
,
xplora
and
laSexta3
. To address this situation,
Atresme-
dia
has strengthened the offer of
Neox
and
Nova
, and of course of the
main channels, to make them even more attractive and cater for the audi-
ence coming from the closed channels. The company's advertising offer
continues to be, despite everything, a leader in coverage and affinity.
As for radio, although this is a media channel characterised by stability
in terms of investment, it has experienced significant growth and, in the
case of the stations marketed by
Atresmedia
, these have grown above
the average market rate thanks to an appealing and competitive offer.
Additionally,
Onda Cero
,
Europa FM
and
Melodía FM
have again achieved
great audience results, which consolidates
Atresmedia Radio
as the sec-
ond largest radio group with more than five million listeners.
In the online area it is worth noting the deceleration in the growth of the
Internet media channel, which is growing more slowly than television. The
creation of
AUNIA
has been especially important for the industry. This
guarantees customers the presence of their brand in professional, high
quality content and in a safe environment.
Aside from the quantitative indicators,
Atresmedia
also has received rec-
ognition from the market. According to a recent study completed by Per-
sonality Media,
Antena 3
and
laSexta
are the most liked television chan-
nels in Spain; in fact, seven programmes from
Atresmedia Televisión
are
among the top ten for quality.
In 2014,
Atresmedia
created
AtresmediaLab
in order to fully
take advantage of
the new multi-
screen advertising
opportunities
and increase
efficiency.
