M6 Unlimited is building a simpler route into TV and streaming advertising for smaller and newer advertisers. Its offer combines a dedicated SME buying path through its future ad manager, lower entry budgets, support across strategy, creative production and measurement.
During a POC with Waymark, M6 Unlimited explored how to reduce the cost and complexity of producing video ads. The INGA campaign, for a French brand specialising in reusable sponges, shows how this offer works in practice: M6 Unlimited used Waymark to turn the advertiser’s existing assets into an AI-generated spot ready for a TV environment.
M6 Unlimited builds the INGA spot from a brief, assets and AI production
INGA supplied M6 Unlimited with a brief, visual identity, messaging and brand assets. M6 Unlimited’s commercial and marketing teams used Waymark to turn those inputs into a finished advertising spot. The final INGA spot is available right underneath.
Waymark generated the video from material the advertiser already owned including their website URL, while M6 Unlimited checked whether the result fitted a TV environment. The sales house presented the technology as a way for smaller companies to create TV and digital spots quickly, with lower production costs and without specific technical expertise.
The role of ad sales changes at the creative stage; as M6 Unlimited does not expect every advertiser to arrive with a finished film, and as its teams tested how an advertiser’s existing assets could become a TV-ready spot before any media plan was built.
A simplified buying path backed by pre-broadcast testing
M6 Unlimited also links the INGA test to its ad manager, which centralises media buying tasks, including plan building, brief submission, availability checks, access to offers, campaign tracking and campaign reports.
The French sales house is developing its new ad manager around a simpler buying path for SMEs and new entrants. The path starts with M6+ inventory and advanced targeting, then takes the advertiser through objective-setting, booking, reporting and billing.
Before the spot entered any media plan, M6 Unlimited tested it with Toluna Insights against its ad-testing benchmark database, with substantial first results:
- The pre-test placed the ad in the top 20% for attention, brand recall, message recall and brand association.
- The response scores put brand fit and brand action in the top 20%, with likeability in the top 40%.
For a lesser-known advertiser, those scores show that the spot made the brand visible, carried the product message and linked that message back to INGA. Although one score was not as strong as the rest: emotional resonance, which sat in the bottom 40% of the benchmark database. This precisely gave M6 Unlimited and INGA a clear creative fix to further improve performance: adding more proof, giving the product story more weight, etc.
AI-supported feedback checks the claims before a wider campaign
M6 Unlimited also used AI-supported feedback to analyse reactions to the INGA creative before diffusion. Respondents described the ad as clean, sober, clear and quick. They understood the main product promise: a washable, reusable sponge linked to hygiene, efficiency and durability.
The feedback identified the three-argument structure as simple and memorable. Respondents also recognised two practical claims: the sponge returns “as new” after a machine wash, and the product lasts one year with a one-year guarantee. The kitchen setting, clear tiles and sponge colours gave the brand a modern and serious feel.
M6 Unlimited had those findings in hand before the spot moved into a larger media plan. The creative route produced a clear, likeable film. The test results also pointed to one specific area (i.e. emotional resonance) where the next version could be further improved.
