How can marketers optimize video ads across
screens and avoid having viewers skip them?

Beware the cliff
Even with highly
engaging ads, many
skip away as soon as
they can.

Focus on skip
resistance…
Increase consumer
engagement by
capturing attention in
the first few seconds.
IGA and Nestlé ads
had better audience
retention because of
their strong content
in the first few
seconds of the ad.

And maximize
viewing
opportunities
This ad was loved;
but too many
would miss it in a
skippable format
because the first
few seconds were
not gripping
enough.
BRAZIL
#AdReaction

Consider length and
integrate the brand in
the first few seconds
Shorter ads are more likely to
keep people to the end.
Unlike ads on TV, if you don’t
feature the brand within the
first few seconds of digital
video, you’ve lost the
opportunity to impact half of
your audience. This Maggi ad
is a good example of
immediate branding.

The click-to-
play challenge
If given a choice,
most consumers
don’t click-to-play.

Getting the
click
For click-to-play, the
initial frame and the
introductory text is
crucial: it needs to be
creatively engaging.
This is a good
example.
USA
#AdReaction
20
Size matters
If the ad is likely to be seen
on a mobile device, keep
screen size in mind.
Small details may be lost.
For example, the brand
needs to be clearly visible,
as in this Vanish Gold ad.
This Selleys ad works well
on TV and online; but if it
were to be shown on
mobile, the brand might be
lost.

Tailor to the
context
This ad performed very
well on digital formats;
but when we tested it in
a TV context,
appreciation was not so
strong.

Editor's Notes

  • #4 Very broad & detailed piece of research
  • #5 In countries where respondents feel they have greater control over ad exposure, advertising receptivity is higher. Correlation analysis also confirmed a very strong respondent-level relationship between control and receptivity for all devices, especially smartphones. See appendix for country level receptivity data. Q: How would you characterize your attitude towards the following formats of video advertising? How much control do you feel you have over whether you do or don't watch the following formats of video advertising?
  • #6 In countries where respondents feel they have greater control over ad exposure, advertising receptivity is higher. Correlation analysis also confirmed a very strong respondent-level relationship between control and receptivity for all devices, especially smartphones. See appendix for country level receptivity data. Q: How would you characterize your attitude towards the following formats of video advertising? How much control do you feel you have over whether you do or don't watch the following formats of video advertising?
  • #7 Timp total petrecut pe fiecare device Table 16 MNQ8.

  • #10 Positive = sum of very positive and somewhat positive Negative = sum of very negative and somewhat negative 5 point scale: Very positive, Somewhat positive, Neutral, Somewhat negative, Very negative Beyond rewards-based ads, audiences prefer formats that give them some control of their viewing, like skippable & click-to-play. Simlarly to targeting, the Romanian audience is more positive than the global average towards any kind of ads.
  • #11 While they may be of more niche appeal, tutorial videos are very popular. Review videos may mean giving up some control over content, but are also well received. The implication is that brands need a broader video content strategy beyond paid online video. Positive = sum of very positive and somewhat positive Negative = sum of very negative and somewhat negative 5 point scale: Very positive, Somewhat positive, Neutral, Somewhat negative, Very negative
