B2B Advertisers Must Embrace the Weekend

Bloomberg Media's David Bradford argues that B2B advertisers are missing opportunities by confining their campaigns to the working week. In a world where work and life blur, decision-makers are always 'on' but in different mindsets, especially on weekends. Bradford highlights Bloomberg's Weekend proposition, which offers in-depth, reflective content that attracts a growing audience of leaders. He cites YouGov data showing Lenovo's successful B2B activation during the World Cup, demonstrating that broader placements can work. He encourages advertisers to follow audiences across premium environments like podcasts, LinkedIn, and OOH, reaching them when they have more space to think. The article is an opinion piece advocating for a shift in B2B media planning to include weekend placements as a prime-time opportunity.

• Bloomberg Media launched a Weekend proposition for readers and viewers.
• 66% of Weekend visitors are new readers each month.
