Advertising Reach Estimator Description

What Is Advertising Reach?

Advertising reach measures how many unique individuals from a defined target audience see your ad at least once during a specified campaign period.

• Reach = Unique audience members exposed to the ad
• Frequency = Average number of times each person sees the ad
• GRPs (Gross Rating Points) = Reach (%) × Frequency

Why Reach and Frequency Matter

These metrics help marketers:

• Measure audience exposure
• Balance campaign breadth and intensity
• Optimize media spending
• Determine ad effectiveness

Key Formulas

GRPs = Reach (%) × Frequency
Frequency = GRPs / Reach (%)
Reach (%) = GRPs / Frequency

Example: A campaign delivers 200 GRPs and reaches 50% of the audience:

Frequency = 200 / 50 = 4

Each viewer sees the ad four times on average.

Advanced Scenarios

• Reach Saturation: As reach nears 100%, additional GRPs mainly increase frequency, not audience size.
• Diminishing Returns: Too much frequency may lower effectiveness and ROI.
• Flighting vs. Continuity: Scheduling style influences optimal reach/frequency strategy.
• Multi-Channel Campaigns: Require modeling to avoid overcounting exposures.
• Unduplicated Reach: Especially important when ads run on multiple platforms.

Mini Case Study: FMCG Brand

A national TV campaign delivers 300 GRPs targeting women aged 25–44. Desired reach is 60%:

Frequency = 300 / 60 = 5

Result: Each viewer sees the ad five times on average.

Mini Case Study: Digital Fintech Launch

A startup runs a 120 GRP digital campaign targeting men 18–34. Desired frequency is 3:

Reach = 120 / 3 = 40%

Media planners focus on reaching 40% of the audience with sufficient exposure.
