INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY
Investigation Discovery focuses on factual crime stories, investigations and the search for explanations. The channel profile describes programming built around real cases and the people involved in them. For an advertiser, the tone and subject of the individual series should be part of the planning discussion, alongside the audience and available commercial format.

01 / PLAN AROUND THE AUDIENCE
WHY THIS
MEDIA BRAND?
The name is the starting point. The audience, setting and creative idea decide whether it belongs in your campaign.
Examples listed in the media owner’s channel profile:
- Faking It: Tears Of A Crime
- Homicide Hunter
- People Magazine Investigates
- Beauty Queen Murders
- Web Of Lies
Programming and commercial availability are checked for the proposed campaign dates.
The creative
Choose a clear, credible message that does not depend on sensational language to compete with the content.
The plan
Ask for the current programme and package detail before deciding whether the context suits the brand.
02 / MAKE THE ADVERTISING
Creative for the screen
We develop the campaign idea, script, visual direction and finished advertising around the viewing context. A short sponsorship ident, a video-on-demand placement and a longer commercial need different creative decisions. Production follows the actual format and package, with one recognisable idea across the campaign.
We develop and produce the work with the wider campaign in view. Your brand direction and team’s knowledge inform the creative, while we keep responsibility for the agreed production and delivery clear.

THE OPTIONS.
THE INVESTMENT.
Bring us the objective, intended audience, campaign dates and available budget. We will assess the options around that brief and explain the recommendation.
How much does Investigation Discovery advertising cost?
The cost depends on the campaign scope, placements, timing and creative or production needed. We check the relevant packages and separate the proposed media investment from creative, production and agency fees. A current brief is needed for a useful quote.
Can Clicks create the advertising?
Yes. We develop the idea and produce the advertising for the agreed formats. We can also work alongside your creative team or use existing brand material, with the message and the media plan considered together.
Can this work with other channels?
Yes. We assess the role of Investigation Discovery alongside the rest of the campaign. The message should remain recognisable while each execution suits its setting. We explain what each channel is intended to contribute and how the response can be assessed.
The official profile describes the channel or brand; it is not a live availability or price list. Confirm the current schedule, commercial package, format and delivery requirements before booking.
