• Newsbrands tend to
adopt a ‘fewer, better
ads’ approach which
concentrates attention
on advertising
• Newsbrands also tend
to have more central
and ‘in feed’ ad units
that fit into readers’
natural gaze plots,
rather than ads to the
side of content - which
can be subject to
‘banner blindness’

• Newsbrands support larger
and richer formats, which
results in increased attention
• Billboard formats can
achieve double the stand out
and dwell time of smaller
formats, given the same
amount of viewable time
• Simple video formats can be
especially effective at
capturing and holding
attention
SIZE - AND MOVEMENT - MATTERS

RELEVANCE OF CONTENT AND CONTEXT
• Newsbrands provide the opportunity for
contextually relevant advertising
• Context can dramatically increase the
attention given to accompanying
advertising
• In this test Eurotunnel advertising was
served next to standard news content and
specially commissioned branded content.
Giffgaff advertising was used as a control
• The dwell time with the ads next to the
relevant content was significantly higher
than norm, and vs the control groups

•We served Beats and Samsung ads next

•Beats ads got far more aggregate attention
on the Culture page – and Samsung more
