Case Studies

The History Channel

The Business Challenge

Encourage a younger documentary audience (35-45) to tune in to the channel, despite their preconceptions about history programmes and the channel’s dusty, ‘war stories’ image.

The Insight

True stories about real people through time connect us with the drama and consequences of past events.

The Brand Purpose

To make History personal.

The Creative Solution

Get Closer

Media Placement

A new brand approach that informs scheduling, programme commissioning, advertising (through the line), website development, PR and on air identity.

The Results

Overall ratings for the channel are up 11% yoy and the channel’s average monthly reach has so far improved by around 16%. Shows advertised with this insight and positioning have all experienced significant uplifts in the ratings expected for their slots (between +50% and +380%)
