Display campaigns may not often get credited with the last click before a conversion, but their value as a branding tool continues to grow.</p>
<p><strong>Users who view a display ad are nearly 24% more apt to recommend a product than those who have not viewed the ad</strong>, according to research from <a href=" http://www.lotame.com/" target="_blank"> Lotame</a>. </p>
<p>Entertainment products were almost three times as likely to enjoy a bounce from display ads than campaigns for other segments: </p>

<p>The most successful display efforts included expandable rich media, while flash banners didn&#8217;t perform as well, no campaigns in the study only deployed static banners:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size=4><br />
Registering a staggering <strong>84 percent increase</strong> in value over the past year, <strong>Apple has emerged as the most valuable brand in the world</strong>, ending the four-year reign of Google at the top of the table in the sixth annual BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands study.</p>
<p>The Apple brand, as calculated by Millward Brown Optimor, a WPP company, has increased in value by 859 percent since 2006 and <strong>now stands at $153.3 billion.</strong> </p>
<p>Other key findings in the study are that during the economic recovery of the last year, <strong>the combined value of all the brands in the top 100 has risen by 17 percent and is now worth $2.4 trillion.</strong> In terms of geography, according to the 2011 BrandZ study, 19 of the Top 100 brands now originate in “BRICs” markets, versus only two in 2006.</p>
