Des Moines TV Viewership

The Des Moines media landscape demonstrates a growing divide between viewer behavior and advertising allocation. While Iowa's capital city viewers increasingly adopt streaming platforms, marketing budgets remain disproportionately tied to traditional channels. This misalignment creates a competitive advantage for forward-thinking Des Moines businesses ready to meet their customers on their preferred platforms.

The viewing statistics below reflect patterns evident throughout Central Iowa. From established neighborhoods in Beaverdale to growing communities in Ankeny and Waukee, Des Moines households continue shifting screen time to streaming services, creating valuable opportunities to connect with engaged audiences in less saturated environments.

How We Make CTV
Advertising Work in Des Moines

icon (7)

Smarter Targeting Than Broadcast

Instead of blanketing everyone with your message, we help you reach the people most likely to need your product or service based on their behaviors, interests, and online activity.

Yes, We Still Geotarget

Just like local TV, we can target by city, zip code, or DMA. But we take it a step further by narrowing in on actual households that match your ideal customer profile.

We Follow Up on Every Screen

After someone sees your ad on TV, we follow up across their phone, tablet, and computer so your message doesn’t stop when the commercial ends.

Smarter Spend, Not Bigger Budgets.

By focusing your ad dollars on the right viewers — not just the right ZIP codes — we help you get more from your budget, without wasting impressions on the wrong audience.

Strategus has been an excellent partner. Their outstanding customer service and communication made working with them a breeze. They constantly delivered what we needed (and more) with thoughtfulness and efficiency, making them a valuable partner in our digital media endeavors.

Marissa Spainhour

Digital Associate Media Director at Sterling Rice Group

Effective Des Moines marketing campaigns understand that consumer journeys rarely end after seeing just one advertisement. Our retargeting technology identifies all connected devices within target Des Moines households, creating synchronized messaging across multiple screens. When someone first encounters your brand while streaming their favorite show, it becomes the beginning of a thoughtfully designed sequence.

Follow-up messages appear on smartphones during commutes on I-235 or on desktop computers during breaks in the downtown business district. This coordinated approach creates consistent touchpoints throughout the customer journey, significantly outperforming isolated broadcast commercials that disappear without reinforcement.

Your Audience Isn’t Just Watching Local TV

Des Moines' diverse communities—from young professionals in Sherman Hill to families in Johnston to business leaders in Clive—have fundamentally changed their viewing habits. Instead of arranging their schedules around programming on WOI-DT ABC 5, KCCI CBS 8, KDSM FOX 17, WHO NBC 13, or KCWI CW 23, they stream their preferred content whenever and wherever they want.

 

Strategus navigates this fragmented landscape by distributing your campaign across 200+ premium streaming platforms where Des Moines residents actually spend their time. Whether they're unwinding after visiting the Farmers' Market or relaxing at home after exploring the Pappajohn Sculpture Park, we'll connect your brand with viewers when they're most receptive to your message.
