My adwave TV ad ran for 2 weeks zero views from a staff of 35 watching

My adwave TV ad ran for 2 weeks, 35 of my staff watched and recorded to see it,..not one saw it on any channel. Here's their response to me: Even with 200k people, the odds of seeing your ad if you’re watching 24 hours per day are 1-2%. You’d still have to be pretty lucky. David Naffis | CEO | Adwave Also, in their response to my above complaint, they can't keep their story straight. One claims I signed up for approximately 8,000 shown ads... while the CEO's email said my number would almost be double. This is, in my opinion, a SCAM. : "Hi Roscoe, sorry about that." David Martin, one of my colleagues, emailed you separately and his math was off. For $500 you'll get around 14k - 15k impressions. We have a call scheduled tomorrow so happy to walk through it all then. David Naffis | CEO | Adwave 🌐 adwave.com

Roscoe Peace, We're sorry you have trouble understanding the math at play, but we don't make up how reality works. You purchased 8,000 ad impressions. In your targeted area of 200,000+ people, if each person sees just 5 ads per day over two weeks, that's over 14 million total ad impressions in that market (which is an extremely low estimate). Your 8,000 impressions would represent roughly 0.05% of the ads being shown. The expectation that your staff of 35, who are apparently watching TV around the clock, would reliably spot your ad among those 14+ million is not realistic. Some customers do happen to see their own ads, but it's not a guarantee, nor should it be the measure of a campaign. Your ads were delivered to verified households in your target area. That's what you paid for, and that's what was delivered. For what it's worth, your political opponents who are also advertising on TV and focused on reaching voters rather than themselves will likely fare better. We wish you the best with your future advertising efforts.

AI Part to generate Ads is cool... Awefull Conversion in Sales
While the AI Part to generate a Campaign is great, keep in mind they dont pick up their phones and Customer Support is "0" via emails, chats and calls - they wont answer you. The reports about views are questionable... not every tv sees your ads... might be a corner tv, in the back office of a barber shop with employees running TV shows or movies from Pluto free TV streaming ... if the same small business has a TV in the front of the shop... your ad may not be there... and you dont know who is watching... they just buy left over spots... NO espn, no main networks... even free samsung tv's have the lowest views... its pluto or bing mostly... cheapest of the cheapest... I havent got a single Website Viewer from them... I dont think it works... I have tracks everywhere online... I only got a few (3) office visits when they verified my Ad and Website legitimacy (and it eats off your budget though)... Furthermore - their reports shows the Same TV in a specific place runs your ads hundreds of times over and over... if its a TV in the back patio of a bar that is tucked in and nobody to watch, or wrong crowed... your just wasted all your money into ineffective places (non rotational by physical area)
