Same-store sales growth is the only number your franchise community wants to talk about. Your media plan has to drive provable foot traffic — not just brand affinity — and increasingly your franchise advisory council is questioning where their co-op dollars are actually going. Drive-time radio used to do the heavy lifting. CTV is now the channel that should — but most agencies are running QSR CTV like generic primetime buys, not the dayparted, geo-targeted, weather-aware buys this category demands.

Dayparting and geo-proximity targeting on CTV is built for QSR — drive-time streaming is the new drive-time radio, and we treat it that way. Campaigns are built around proximity-to-location targeting, daypart alignment with category occasions (breakfast, lunch, late-night), weather-triggered creative variations, and LTO timing. Attribution ties streaming exposure to in-store visit lift via mobile-location data partnerships and loyalty program activation.
