Ads are not only watched on TV but on small & interactive screen,without sound
Interactivity and personnalize
---
The industry adknowledged that sound on can be perceive has really intrusive by users and has moved towards stricter autoplay policies. From april 2018, auto play with sound will not be allowed any more on google chrome on mobile. It’s already the case for ios since septembre 2019. It’s time for marketer to embrace the sound off world where users can not only watch bu also read a video without listening to it. As Facebook has become the favorite platform for the users to watch video, they got used to consume video with text and without sound.
We surveyed users on their attitudes and behavior towards sound and found that 52% of consumers in the UK and 66% hate when video ads play with sound when they are reading an article on their mobile.
We also found that nearly 80% of users were watching video ads with sound off on Facebook and 36% of the users in the UK were always or frequenty muting video ads on youtube .
It means that need to ask ourselves how does my ad work without and what is the impact of lack of sound.
On a smartphone, users usually watch video in a vertical mode which drives video platform like snapchat or Instragram to create square and vertical video format.
This also has implications for video shooting as it changes the typical video landscape-setting to a more immediate format that fits the display of any phone.
