With traditional TV advertising, advertisers purchase ad spots at designated times on designated channels during designated programming. Advertisers decide ad buys based on the size and makeup of each program's audience.

A TV spot is like an advert you see on television for services or products. It has a story, actors and a message and it aims to convince the viewer of the benefits of the product or service the advertiser is promoting.

Actors are paid differently based on their chosen medium. Generally speaking, for screen work, actors are paid a day rate. If they are needed for more than five days, they are paid a weekly rate. Rates vary if actors are needed for the entirety of the film shoot or the entirety of a television season.

A single 30-second spot costs an advertiser around $4.5 million, so it's no surprise that the celebrities who, more and more, are appearing in them also collect a big payday. “It ranges from $500,000 to $2 million depending on the commercial and the celebrity,” says one local ad exec who's worked on Super Bowl spots.
