“TF1+ supports brands throughout their digital strategy” – TV > Media

The TF1 group is accelerating on digital with the launch of new advertising and data offers allowing advertisers to fully exploit “the plasticity of digital”. Presentation of the strategic action plan in the world of streaming by Sylvia Tassan Toffola, CEO of TF1 Pub and François-Xavier Pierrel, CEO of the Data & Adtech division.

You want to make TF1+ the “first full-funnel digital marketing platform” for brands. What is your roadmap?

Sylvia Tassan Toffola : In a context of “hyper choice,” “hyper solicitation” of the consumer and accelerated, structuring and structural digitalization of the market and consumption, we want to provide a complete suite of both offers and advertising formats. But also data proposals and technological tools to encompass the entire life cycle of a consumer, in a “full-funnel” marketing reading of an advertiser (awareness, image, consideration, conversion). We want to stay a “business partner” of brands by providing this agility and flexibility to be able to address their prospects or consumers with a view to building loyalty. We work on “showcase” communication for brands, but that is not enough, there is also an issue of power and reach..

Concerning TF1+, is it the 1?? free long format video streaming platform on demand from the French market. She touches 33 million unique monthly visitors and we have a reach capacity that we must continue to deploy in the months and years to come. This leading position commits us and obliges us to go beyond what exists, by structuring data…this currency of exchange and transaction of the market of tomorrow.

The challenge is to leave a logic of traditional media planning to enter into a logic of audience planning… (Sylvia Tassan Toffola)

TF1 Pub announced the creation of Graph:ID TF1, which will be launched in January 2025. What is new offered to advertisers?

François-Xavier Pierrel : We started from the idea that collaboration around data, with retailers and the entire ecosystem will make the difference. The idea is to be interoperable by breaking the silos. We therefore designed this product with the aim of sharing our data with our customers. This solution allows the agency to support advertisers of all sizes on the different planning phases and improve their engagement on our platforms.

In total, this represents 25 million qualified profiles on TF1+, 100 activatable criteria and unrivaled targeting granularity with 1,200 data segments, including more than 500 in retail..

The key for advertisers is the possibility of using Graph:ID at each stage of their campaigns and obtaining very detailed insights in order to significantly optimize advertising impact. The TF1 group will also be the launch partner of Habu (LiveRamp) in France, exclusively for one year.

Finally, TF1+ is also strengthening its value proposition for brands with campaign reports enriched with new KPIs to continuously measure and optimize the ROI of their investments accessible on a single dashboard via Graph:ID.
