Why Multichannel Advertising Works | Adwave

Why multichannel works

No single channel does it all. TV builds trust and memory; search and social capture the demand it creates. Waverunner runs the whole mix from one daily budget, and every channel makes the others work harder.

One creative · search, social, web, TV · one daily budget.

Your customers don't live on one channel. They watch Hulu at night, search Google when they need something, and scroll Instagram in between. A campaign that only shows up in one of those places misses how people decide. Waverunner by Adwave runs Meta, Google, Reddit, TikTok, web, mobile, and television as one campaign, because the channels work better together than any of them works alone.

Every channel has a job

No single channel does everything well. The mix works because each one covers what the others can't.

What each channel does best

Channel What it does best What it feeds
Streaming TV Trust and memory (full-screen, unskippable, premium context) Branded searches and direct visits days or weeks later
Google (YouTube & Search) Catches people when they search for you Conversions from the demand TV and social created
Meta, TikTok & Reddit Frequency, social proof, and retargeting between decisions Familiarity that makes your name click-worthy in search
Web & mobile Low-cost reach throughout the day Repetition that keeps the same message compounding
Audio Reach people who are not looking at a screen The same message in the car, kitchen, and gym
One campaign, one budget. Each channel reinforcing the others instead of competing for it.

TV makes your other ads work harder

Ads that build awareness make the ads that capture demand work better, and the effect grows over time. 71% of consumers buy from brands they recognize, and every channel in the mix makes you more recognizable on the others.

Be the first name customers think of

When a pipe bursts, people call the plumber they already know. When they need a realtor, they call the name that comes to mind. Most customers will not need you today. They will need you in three months, six months, or next year.

That is why the mix matters. TV ads reach people when they are relaxed and paying attention, and those impressions stick for months. Social keeps you in the feed between decisions. When they finally need you, search is there. One channel builds the memory and another one collects it.

The audience is already there. Streaming accounts for 47.3% of U.S. TV time, and 73.6% of that is ad-supported. The same people watching Hulu and Pluto TV are searching Google and scrolling Instagram the same evening. A multichannel campaign follows the whole path instead of betting on one step of it.

One budget, one report, and now it's affordable

Running channels separately means separate ad accounts, separate invoices, and four reports that disagree. Waverunner runs the whole mix from one daily budget with one report for views, clicks, conversions, and return on ad spend on every channel. Target by city, state, or nationally in one campaign.

Create professional ads in minutes. Review recommended ads without a card. $60 starter credit and going live need a deposit within 14 days. Launch the full mix, streaming TV alongside Meta, Google, Reddit, TikTok, web, and mobile, from one daily budget starting at $30/day. Prepaid wallet. Cancel anytime. See pricing.
