Procter & Gamble broadcast a TV commercial with audio description in Switzerland for the very first time. The Gillette commercial is just the beginning of accessible TV advertising in Switzerland. The audio description function, which has been used in feature films at SRG SSR for several years, is now making its way into TV advertising in Switzerland. For example, the consumer goods manufacturer P&G has broadcast a Gillette TV commercial with audio description for the first time.
In this TV commercial, the visual images on the screen are explained by accompanying audio descriptions. These descriptions are placed during pauses in the commercial’s dialogue, and are predominantly designed for viewers who are visually impaired. This audio track also aims to help autistic viewers better understand the situations and emotions depicted in the commercial. Procter & Gamble launched the initiative in spring with its TV commercials for Ariel, and intends to produce all its commercials with audio description in the future.
In this way, P&G is taking on a pioneering role in accessible TV advertising. Kristina Bulle, CMO at Procter & Gamble in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, is delighted that the manufacturer can now also broadcast accessible TV advertising in Switzerland:
‘Our mission is to make sure that our corporate and brand content can be accessed and understood by everyone. We want to give all audiences the same access to information – including in commercials – and thereby help to drive positive change in society.’
The function is available to all viewers via their TV settings. They can view programmes with audio description by selecting the corresponding audio channel.
In Switzerland, the broadcasting of accessible TV advertising is possible exclusively with Admeira. The service is available free of charge to all Admeira customers who deliver their commercials with a suitable audio track.

M6 UNLIMITED TESTS AI SPOT CREATION FOR SMALLER TV AND STREAMING ADVERTISERS
22. 5. 2026M6 Unlimited is testing a simpler route into TV and streaming for SMEs and new advertisers by combining lower entry budgets, a future ad manager, and support across strategy, creative production, and measurement. In a proof of concept with Waymark, it used INGA’s existing brand assets to create an AI-generated TV-ready spot, positioning ad sales teams earlier in the creative process for advertisers that do not arrive with finished video. Before any media plan was built, Toluna Insights pre-tested the ad and placed it in the top 20% for attention, brand recall, message recall, brand association, brand fit, and brand action, while also identifying weaker emotional resonance as a clear optimisation point. The case shows how AI-assisted production and testing can lower creative barriers for smaller advertisers while giving sales houses evidence to refine campaigns before wider rollout.
THE TV ADVERTISING PARADOX, A THINKTV NEW ZEALAND CASE STUDY (2/2)
22. 5. 2026ThinkTV New Zealand built its campaign around the contradiction that linear TV was being called obsolete while still delivering scale, attention, and brand outcomes, using evidence-led messaging aimed primarily at CMOs and CFOs rather than broadcasters speaking for themselves. The centerpiece was an 80-page standalone edition of NZ Marketing magazine, with 4,000 copies distributed to marketers, agencies, and key decision-makers, supported by eight weeks of out-of-home, four months of TV, and a dedicated website. The campaign’s core visual distilled the issue into a single question: TV reach is stable, so why is investment falling? LinkedIn then amplified the debate, with marketers publicly challenging agency recommendations and growing reliance on YouTube.
