Regional TV Advertising
TV has evolved. So have we.
For almost four decades, JHA has been at the heart of television advertising.
Our Story
38 years of television advertising expertise
What began as a specialist airtime buying agency has grown into a trusted partner for brands looking to harness the power of TV.
Our founder, Julie Hunt, built the business on deep industry knowledge, strong broadcaster relationships and a belief that great media planning should be accessible to businesses of all sizes.
Today, that same philosophy drives us forward, but the landscape has evolved.
Television is no longer just broadcast. Streaming platforms, on-demand services and connected TVs have transformed how audiences watch. And we’ve evolved with it.
Blending decades of buying power and experience with a modern, forward-thinking approach to advertising.
New era. Same expertise.
Our Approach
TV advertising should feel exciting, not complicated
Our approach is built around how we work with our clients, not just what we deliver.
Partnership
We work with people, not for them. Acting as an extension of your team, we’re collaborative, responsive and always within reach when it matters most.
Clarity
We simplify the world of television advertising, so you always understand where your investment is going and what it’s delivering.
Strategy First
Great campaigns start with great planning. We build around audiences, not just inventory and we’ll always be honest about what will and won’t work. If something isn’t right, we’ll tell you.
Speed that sets us apart
In a fast-moving market, responsiveness matters. We move quickly, solve problems fast and keep campaigns moving without delay.
Proven impact
We don’t just launch campaigns, we build campaigns designed to grow your business. And we back that up with results you can see.
Built on long-standing relationships
Decades of working closely with broadcasters means we unlock real value for our clients – the kind that comes from experience, trust and consistency over time.
Real accountability
We financially underwrite every booking we make. It’s a meaningful commitment that reflects how seriously we take every campaign we run.
