From ad networks and exchanges to demand-side platforms and other app publishers, app marketers have left no stone unturned when it comes to finding new mobile channels on which to advertise their apps. And yet, as the market matures and evolves, most developers are finding mobile as a channel to be saturated, competitive and increasingly expensive.

For help, some app marketers have turned to television to promote their apps. It started, notably, during this year’s Super Bowl, with commercials for not one but two different mobile games — Clash of Clans and Game of War, featuring celebrities no less than A-listers Liam Neeson and Kate Upton. The industry took notice, and many other app developers have since followed suit. Slowly but surely, the mobile industry is turning to TV advertising as a critical component in the overall marketing mix.

SATUC Cup is 6-a-side football tournament in Cairowith teams comprised of disadvantaged children from around the world.

This animated 3D TV advert, which was launched last weekend on Sky Sports during their coverage of the 2014 Ryder Cup, is the latest ad from Bioflow Sport Magnetic Wristbands, one of the world’s leading suppliers of magnetic wrist products.

The concept was developed in-house for Square Elephant Productions by Parag Sankhe and Martin Smith who had to surmount the challenge of creating an eye-catching advert for a traditional healing product which is used by many professional and amateur golfers, whilst still satisfying the regulations of the clearance agency Clearcast who police the industry on behalf of the commercial TV networks and who have very strict guidelines for such adverts.

For fifty years or more TV advertising was regarded as the holy grail of advertising but as there were only a couple of commercial networks available it was also extremely expensive and beyond all but the biggest brands. However,with the advent of the dot-com revolution during the past two decades many new and increasingly innovativeavenues for advertisers have emerged for them to use in the digital age.
