What does Frequency mean?

The average number of times an exposed individual sees your advertising message.

Full definition

Frequency measures a campaign's intensity on the people reached. The classic rule says 3 to 5 exposures are needed for a message to be memorized — fewer for exceptional creative, more for a complex message or unknown brand.

Why is it important?

Too little frequency: your budget evaporates without leaving a memory trace. Too much: you pay for GRPs that no longer add anything (creative wearout) and irritate your audience.

The Jour de Chance approach

"We manage frequency through capping in digital and wave construction in TV. Our rule: better a perfect reach at frequency 4 than a wide reach at frequency 1.5."
