The marketers that are paying up to $2.8 million for each 30-second spot can upload ads on YouTube’s Super Bowl Ad Blitz page, as they have in the past. But this year YouTube has added even more features including social media buttons that will make it easy for viewers to pass them along or “tweet”...
According to EIAA’s (European Interactive Advertising Association) latest Mediascope Europe study, 76% (396m) of all 16+ year old people across 15 European markets surveyed use different media simultaneously with almost a third (30%) using the internet whilst they watch TV.
My colleagues at Etarget created nice visualization of this study:
We have all heard about banner blindness. Are low click rates evidence that display ad campaigns have not had any impact on consumer behavior? Or, does online display advertising work in a similar way to traditional offline advertising with multiple exposures over time being needed to effect a change in consumer behavior?
comScore released a new study examining the effects of display advertising in Europe.
The following results were observed when comparing the behavior of Internet users exposed to display ads with that of a comparable set of users who did not see the ads:
- Visitation to the advertiser’s web site rose by 72% on average
- Likelihood of consumers conducting a trademark search query using the advertiser’s branded terms increased by 94% on average.
“The results of these initial ad effectiveness studies we’ve conducted in Europe are rather provocative,” said Mike Shaw, comScore Director of Marketing Solutions. “They not only demonstrate a clear view-through value of online ads independent of Internet users clicking on the ads, but the resulting lifts in behaviour substantially outperform what we’ve seen in the U.S.”
