This document discusses trends in mobile video advertising. It notes that while video advertising is growing globally, most campaigns still push TV ads to digital screens without adapting them for mobile. As users spend more time on mobile devices, the industry needs to create shorter, less intrusive ads optimized for mobile. Combining TV and digital advertising amplifies branding impact. Planning campaigns across screens can help push back diminishing returns on reach. Formats like native video ads are well-suited for mobile as they are viewable by default without forcing content on users.

Search Engine Marketing - Competitor and Keyword researchETMARK ACADEMY
Over 2 Trillion searches are made per day in Google search, which means there are more than 2 Trillion visits happening across the websites of the world wide web.
People search various questions, phrases or words. But some words and phrases are searched
more often than others.
For example, the words, ‘running shoes’ are searched more often than ‘best road running
shoes for men’
These words or phrases which people use to search on Google are called Keywords.
Some keywords are searched more often than others. Number of times a keyword is searched
for in a month is called keyword volume.
Some keywords have more relevant results than others. For the phrase “running shoes” we
get more than 80M relevant results, whereas for “best road running shoes for men” we get
only 8.
The former keyword ‘running shoes’ has way more competition from popular websites to
new and small blogs, whereas the latter keyword doesn’t have that much competition. This
search competition for a keyword is called search difficulty of a keyword or keyword
difficulty.
In other words, if the keyword difficulty is ‘low’ or ‘easy’, there won’t be any competition
and if you target such keywords on your site, you can easily rank on the front page of Google.
Some keywords are searched for, just to know or to learn some information about something,
that’s their search intention. For example, “What shoe size should I choose?” or “How to pick
the right shoe size?”
These keywords which are searched just to know about stuff are called informational
keywords. Typically people who are searching this type of keywords are top of a Conversion
funnel.
Conversion funnel is the journey that search visitors go through on their way to an email
subscription or a premium subscription to the services you offer or a purchase of products
you sell or recommend using your referral link.
For some buyers, research is the most important part when they have to buy a product.
Depending on that, their journey either widens or narrows down. These types of buyers are
Researchers and they spend more time with informational keywords.
Conversion is the action you want from your search visitors. Number of conversions that you
get for every 100 search visitors is called Conversion rate.
People who are at different stages of a conversion funnel use different types of keywords.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

3. Mobile is also everywhere with more than half of the global population
owning a smartphone or tablet and developing a deeply personable
relationship with their devices.
As a consequence, mobile is expected to be the main driver of global adspend growth and
will contribute a full 83% of the extra adspend between 2014 and 2017 according to
ZenithOptimedia forecasts.
At Teads, we believe that mobile is not just another screen to be added to the video stack.
As users are more averse to advertising on mobile and more sensitive to intrusiveness,
the industry needs to adapt video ad formats and creatives to mobile devices. This means
reducing the length of the videos. The US leads the way, with 50% of campaigns planned
with a mobile version of the ad in mind. If this shift in thinking doesn't happen, we risk
speeding up the adoption of ad-blockers, missing the opportunity to make brands’ messages
resonate with their audience.
On mobile, users are in a particular state of mind that differs to that of watching TV or working
on a desktop. Mobile is flexible; it’s adaptable, it satisfies a curious appetite – be it
immediate access to entertainment, shopping or friends.
The day is fragmented in hundreds of micro-moments that each bring with them a new need
and a new opportunity for brands to deliver relevant and engaging messages.
As content and context play an important part in the race for user attention, it comes as no
surprise that native advertising formats are experiencing such stellar growth. Integrated
in the feed of the content, they are very well adapted to mobile consumption, being viewable
by default but not forced upon the user.
Based on Teads’ video distribution expertise, this white-paper looks into the trends,
challenges and opportunities offered by native mobile video advertising.

Video advertising going mobile
Video advertising is rapidly growing on a global scale, with adspend forecast to double
from 2015 to 2017. However, it represents less than 10% of TV ad spend, with an
approach that pushes TV spots into the video stream still dominating digital video
advertising. With users and budgets shifting to mobile, brands are slowly starting
to adapt.
a. Different approaches to online video
Since video is distributed online, two
advertising approaches co-exist.
The traditional TV approach is a clear
“push” marketing technique, with content
forced-exposed to users in a bid to pass
a TV ad in a video stream. On the other
hand, the rise of digital video and mobile
devices saw the development of a “pull”
approach: users are given the option to
watch a promotional video and can control
whether to skip, scroll past or simply close
it. Compared to TV, video advertising can
also be distributed in all content streams,
not only in video, for instance within an
article or in social feeds.
b. Digital is more and more mobile
On average, people view a total of 3.5 hours of video a day, with half of videos watched on digital screens.
Two thirds of online video consumption is occuring on mobile.
As a consequence, mobile media spend should double from 2014 to 2017 according to ZenithOptimedia.
The digital approach, relying on brands producing
video content for digital platforms to create user
engagement, has evolved since 2010 and is shifting
towards mobile-centric platforms like Facebook
and other mobile, native video applications like
Instagram, Twitter or Snapchat.
At the 2015 Super Bowl, there were more shares of
Big Game ads occuring on Facebook than YouTube.
Today there are 8 billion videos viewed daily on the
social platform.
Twitter has also witnessed a 150-fold year-on-year
increase in video views as of September 2015, with
tweets containing video seeing 6 times more
retweets than those only containing images.
These platforms create new opportunities for brands
to reach out to their audience using video formats
that are specific to each distribution channel in
terms of duration, size, and placement.
This fragmentation and the flexibility of the digital
video landscape makes it more challenging to plan
content creation and distribution accordingly.

5. c. Cost: the barrier to adapting TV spots
As eyeballs and budgets shift to mobile devices, the “pull” model should progressively gain ground; however the
share of TV budgets in video media spent will still be greater than digital for the next few years.
TV dictates the format and duration of the ad, as it represents the bigger media spend.
Moreover, the cost of adapting a TV ad to desktop or mobile is in most cases high compared to the media
spend on digital. For this reason, even if creative and media agencies recommend to resize messages,
TV ads are distributed across all screens.

Some advertisers have started to systematically produce a shorter version of TV ads for mobile, but they are
still in the minority.
Brands that are also very mobile focused, such as mobile carriers, are changing the creative process by
planning the production of different edits for TV, desktop and mobile.

Seeing some TV ads that simply do not work on digital helps thinking about our
own creative process. In that case, it’s useful to think of different “edits”: two
or three versions for digital – shorter, more responsive, fast-paced, conceived
for digital from the very start of the campaign and shot in parallel with the TV
spot. It’s about telling a story in a different way but achieving the same
communication strength as on TV. In short, it’s essential to integrate the
media and device of distribution into the creative and production process."
Julien Claustre | Digital Manager, Axa
According to Millward Brown, adapting video content to different contexts makes people more receptive
and increases the branding uplift on awareness, brand favourability and purchase intent.

GENERAL RECALL BRAND RECALL MESSAGE RECALL LIKEABILITY
As users switch from one screen to another, they expect content to be seamlessly
integrated across devices. The same goes for advertising content: in fact, combining
TV and online video advertising is a great opportunity for brands as the two
channels complement one another, even if it comes with some challenges.
Combining TV and digital exposure amplifies the branding impact of a campaign. As shown in the image below,
brand and message recall profits the most from combining TV and digital exposure (+7 percentage points),
followed by general recall (+6%) and likeability (+5%).

Planning for cross-screen
a. Pushing back the point of diminishing returns
By combining TV and digital, TV advertisers
are able to push back the point of diminishing
return, after which the cost for additional reach
dramatically increases.
Digital advertising brings with it a fresh audience that
can be difficult to reach on TV, as online and mobile
users are younger and also light TV viewers.
As a matter of fact, digital video opens to publishers
and advertisers across a multitude of different KPIs,
but the reach and frequency metrics that brands
are expecting are not often provided. In order to
bridge the gap between TV and digital video,
the industry needs to establish a viable single
currency to plan cross-screen.
The main challenge for video and for digital in general is the adoption of
standard KPIs. While TV ads are measured through on-target reach and
frequency, digital campaigns ultimately only allow comparison by number of
impressions. Each player has different KPIs, which makes it impossible to
aggregate results. We need to establish common standards in order to better
measure digital campaign effectiveness.”

Adapting video formats to mobile
b. Following the consumer throughout the day
Planning cross-screen also extends the length of
a campaign, allowing for targeted creatives thanks
to storytelling on different platforms. Cross-screen
distribution opens the opportunity to optimise a
campaign in real-time, based on variables such
as time of day, geography, carrier and device.
For instance a two-minute cooking tutorial is better
shown at 7pm on a tablet, to a user who is at home
and using wifi – rather than at 3pm on smartphone
to a user who is at work and using data to quickly
check the news.
As users expect a seamlessly integrated cross-
screen advertising experience, the use of data
is crucial in order to efficiently plan campaign
distribution – even more so when looking into
programmatic distribution, where decisions are taken
at a single impression level.
Reliable and effective cross-screen device
attribution is a major industry challenge that needs
to be addressed: while feasible, this faces technical
difficulties such as cookie deletion and comes with
the challenge of privacy and data protection.
c. Adapting the distribution, creative and the format
to mobile devices
While facing the challenges of cross-screen
campaign distribution, advertisers and media
agencies also need to take into account the
creative and distribution aspects of their campaign:
if video used to be created for TV only, the classic
30-second TV commercial distributed in a pre-roll is
not the best option for digital distribution.
It is also essential to keep in mind the impact of
video on the user experience: sometimes an
entertaining and welcome break, video can also
cause annoyance if it eats into users’ monthly
data plans and slows down the device.
This is why advertisers need to be mindful of the
audience's location or data plan when distributing
their video. This is especially important when
operating internationally: whereas in some countries
the data-plans amply cover all needs, some other
countries (such as Italy or Spain, for instance) offer
data plans insufficient for video streaming. In order
to offer the best-possible user experience, it is
crucial to account for these differences and optimise
campaign delivery towards wi-fi enabled devices.

AD BLOCKING AND THE SHIFT TO MOBILE ARE PAVING THE WAY FOR
OUTSTREAM, NATIVE VIDEO AND OPT-IN FORMATS.
As catching users’ attention gets increasingly difficult on mobile, brands must develop
a connection with their target audience in order to hook them with specific messaging
and try not to enrage them with forced advertising.
a. Intrusive video formats driving ad blocking on mobile
A rapid growth of ad-clutter over the past years,
together with intrusive and interruptive advertising
formats, have led to users increasingly adopting ad
blocking software in order to keep control of their
online experience. According to PageFair, there were
198 million active ad blocker users in June 2015,
with an increase of 41% year on year.
As far as video is concerned, up to 62%1
of the
time spent watching video gets blocked from
monetisation in Germany. According to research
conducted by Teads, forced video formats such
as pre-roll are highlighted by users as the main
reason they installed an ad blocker.
1 Source: Secret Media
“We are very attentive to the quality of
the format, we want it to be as non
intrusive as possible: the user must
be free to choose. The quality of a
communication campaign also depends
on the way the user accepts the ad and
reacts to it.”
Catherine Masson | Head of Brand Media
Strategy & Media Buying, Air France
8. 14
c. Getting up to speed
Ad blocking led to a subsequent revenue loss of
£22 billion for publishers in 2015 and represents a
further barrier for advertisers in communicating with
their target audiences. It could become worse still if
mobile operators such as Three went through with
their plans to block ads at a network level due to
their partnership with Israeli ad-blocker company
Shine. They are justifying this controversial move by
arguing that ads, and especially video ads, consume
bandwidth and damage the quality of service.
To support this position, the second motivation listed
by users for installing an ad blocker is that ads slow
down the browsing experience, especially on mobile.
Upload time is critical as the average mobile user
starts scrolling on a website much faster than
on desktop. According to marketing analytics
company Moat, a mobile user clicks down the
page 13 seconds after content begins loading,
compared to 24 seconds on desktop, which gives
ads more time to load.
In order to address this problem, Google has
launched an industry-wide initiative called the
Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP), which aims
to reduce page upload time by 85% compared to
standard mobile pages. This open source solution
can be integrated by publishers and tech
platforms such as Teads. It implies that publishers
give up intrusive formats such as interstitials or
site take-overs.

Native video is an alternative to pre-roll, which is
placed before video content.
It is seamlessly integrated within editorial
content, the video being ideally contextually
relevant and adding value to the user experience.
Context is key when it comes to distribution, as not
only does it allow for an ad to be natively positioned,
thus enabling better targeting based on interests
and mind-set. Research conducted by Adblock Plus
shows that 41% of users don’t mind being shown
branded content as long as the quality and the
user experience match the editorial environment
that the ad is placed in.
Context also speaks for the quality of the ad as
users tend to associate the editorial quality of the
environment the ad is shown in with the advertising
brand. This is particularly important when it comes
to finding premium, brand-safe environments
on mobile.
This type of outstream video format solves a
problem that many publishers face, which is having
enough video supply that they can monetise.
Using outstream video advertising allows publishers
to monetise their editorial content, preventing them
from having to invest in creating additional video
footage. It also allows for a user-friendly experience
as the consumer can skip it at any point: it doesn’t
interrupt content consumption.

People around the world were asked if they perceived mobile ads to be more intrusive, and there
were different levels of agreement across markets.
These numbers are even more dramatic when looking at mobile devices, as the intrusiveness of classic
advertising formats is magnified by mobile. This poses a challenge for advertisers and publishers when looking
at which formats to adopt in order to respect user experience.

b. Native video ads are better tolerated
If pre-roll ads are the most intrusive ads for more than 50% of users, conversely native video ads are much better
perceived, as they are not blocking access to content and users can scroll away if they don’t want to watch the ad.
"If the ad hasn't loaded by the time that
you start to scroll, you scroll past the
place where the ad eventually loads.
As a result, the ad is not viewable
[because] you scrolled past the slot
before it had a chance to load."

d. Control is crucial
Results from the Teads/Research Now study
“Why people block ads” also show that more than
8 out of 10 users would consider un-installing
ad-blocking software if they were given the choice of
whether to see an ad or not. This reflects one of the
major trends in the industry at the moment, which is
the power of the user to choose how and when to
consume content.
The adoption of mobile devices epitomises this trend
as users tend to have a more personable, exclusive
relationship with their mobile phones, smartphones
and tablets as opposed to traditional media such as
radio, TV and print which are normally shared.
As a consequence, users expect to be able to
control and skip the ad or close it from the very
beginning if they want to.
e. Opt-in video sees greater ROI
A research conducted by Teads and Millward Brown
shows that opt-in ads generated greater lift in
standard ad metrics vs. pre-roll.
Across all awareness metrics, opt-in was more
successful in generating lifts vs. the control group,
with a +22 lift vs. the control group for Ad Awareness
(99% confidence).
Opt-in ads were also better at building brand-
awareness over time than pre-roll, with a 53% vs.
a 27% build respectively. This can be explained by
the fact that users are more engaged with the ad
when they chose to watch it, rather than when
exposure is forced upon them.
As mobile content consumption is so different from traditional TV, big screen or
desktop, advertisers face the difficulty of creating content that is adapted to each and
every moment of consumption.
Teads identified the main challenges of mobile video content creation
at present:
• Challenge 1: Sound on/off
• Challenge 2: Going vertical
• Challenge 3: From big to small screen
• Challenge 4: Time matters
4
Creative challenges:
Mobile as a compass to reset the
creative standards
10. Challenge 1
Sound on/off
Content consumption is changing; users often watch video playing silently as they
might be in an environment which does not allow them to play the video with sound
– either they are in public or sound is off by default on their device. Brands should
be aware that a high proportion of their ads will be played silently, therefore the
creative should be as impactful with or without sound.
Creating silent content is another, maybe more extreme but potentially successful option. Moreover, videos that
don’t rely on language to pass their message have higher chances of being used across different markets as
they don’t need any translation. Be it through image only, call-outs or subtitles, videos need to be understood
even when muted.
18 19
Challenge 2
Going vertical
The 2015 innovation of vertical video facilitates user experience when it comes to
smartphone video viewing, as it mimics the vertical handheld position. 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.
“Going vertical” was even named by Mary Meeker as a trend for 2015 in her Internet Trends report, with viewing
vertically accounting for 29% of viewed video time.
Advertisers can either produce different creatives for each device – with different video lengths, panorama
settings, levels of detail and so on – or simply optimise videos to take into account the challenges posed by
multi-screening, vertical video and smartphone usage.
A great example of a brand leveraging on the vertical video trend is offered by Jeep. For its "Portraits" ad, which
aired at halftime of Super Bowl 50 and ended up being amongst user’s favourite spots of the game, Jeep chose
to produce a vertical video that played beautifully on mobile screens.
11. 20
Challenge 3
From big to small screen
Video created for multi-screen needs to take into account the size of each device:
small details are more likely to get lost when content originally created for TV is shown
on a smartphone screen. This means that shooting needs to be adapted to the device
– making sure that the content works both on small as well as on large screens.
Unboxing videos offer a great example of how to put the product at the centre of the video, zooming in on
details that would otherwise be overlooked. This is a technique used by many beauty and consumer
technology brands to showcase their products just after or even shortly before the official product launch.

When coming from a TV-first background, advertisers should look at adapting the
length of an ad when switching to digital – reducing the creative to 15s on mobile in
order to guarantee high completion rates.
Hooking the users in the first few seconds is
imperative as, if given the choice, even with highly
engaging ads, many users skip away as soon as
they can.
The first 2 seconds are critical: they represent
31% of all impressions delivered on Teads’
inRead format on mobile.
A strong start also encourages the user to watch
the video until completion. The traditional motto that
the brand should be revealed at the end and that the
storyline should unfold throughout the video is simply
not true anymore: as users are given the choice
of whether to skip or to stay, the creative needs to
persuade them to stick with it. For each additional
second in full view, ad recall increases significantly.
While only 10% of consumers will recall the ad at
the MRC standard (50% of the surface in view for
at least two seconds), research by IPG Media Labs
shows how the percentage chance of ad-recall
triples at 50% of time viewing and 100% surface
viewable. (Study carried out on a 15 seconds mobile
autoplay video ad).
Predicted chance consumers will recall video ad
12. Teads identifies the new opportunities to reach, engage and drive
adiences to store:
• Opportunity 1: More engaging messages
• Opportunity 2: New channels for live streaming
• Opportunity 3: Second-screening and mobile first
• Opportunity 4: Drive to store
On the other hand, advertisers are rewarded with higher user engagement on mobile vs. desktop, especially
when ads are targeted to the user.
This behaviour opens a series of opportunities, for instance targeting users while in-store or driving them to a
store (be it brick-and-mortar or e-commerce), capturing those micro-moments in which users search for specific
information while on the go.
22
As mobile video advertising is closer to the user than advertising shown on larger
screens, people expect more from the ad. Given the natural tendency of using
mobile devices when “on the go” or during micro moments in the day, users will be
more impatient when faced with poor or wrongly targeted content than when using
a desktop or laptop.
This means that completion rates tend to be naturally lower on mobile.

Getting the user in the right moment, on the right
screen, is no easy task.
Large events such as the Super Bowl, the Oscars or the Olympic
Games provide a great platform for cross-screen targeting the user.
Research shows that users switch to mobile during a TV ad-break
and the number gets even higher when it comes to Millennials
and Gen Z. Second-screening in general has now become
common practice for most, with 87% of consumers admitting
to it. Mobile wins big especially when it comes to Millennials: 71%
of consumers aged 18-34 use a smartphone and 26% use a tablet
either as an interactive extension of the TV show they are watching
or as a parallel source of content and entertainment.
This is why it is crucial to not only plan campaigns cross-screen,
but also to coordinate the targeting so to ensure maximum on-
target reach. Companies such as TVTY can target users on their
mobile during TV show-time, maximising the potential of user
exposure to the brand.
During the Super Bowl, nearly 1 in 3 (32%) of Americans who
watched the Big Game also used social media on websites or
apps. In addition, 21% used sports sites or apps, 19% would use
news sites or apps; 17% would use food delivery sites or apps and
14% would use game sites or apps.
This poses a great opportunity for extending campaign reach
and storytelling across devices.

Opportunity 4
Drive to store
Mobile purchases are on the rise, with 46% of users buying products via mobile
at least a few times a year, compared to 40% last year according to PWC Total Retail
survey. Moreover, 68% of Indian shoppers, 59% of Chinese and 26% of US shoppers
say their mobile phone will become their main purchasing tool in the future.
With the trend growing, it comes as no surprise that mobile native video offers a great opportunity for product
purchase alongside more classic “branding” options.
Fashion brand John Varvatos recently promoted “touchable” and “shoppable” interactive video: in fact,
adding elements of interactivity through VPAID or custom-built hotspots allow users to explore the product
within the video, making for a more personable experience. As the experience happens within the video frame,
this kind of video ad also has the advantage of not driving users away from the page, instead allowing all
transactions – from exploring to buying the product – to happen within the same video frame.
From 360-video and direct buying options to store-locator functionalities for a physical drive-to-store through a
map, mobile video has never been more shoppable.

The shift from large to smaller screens implies the need to adapt creatives to a portable device, where little
details might be missed. Make sure brand, product and messaging are clearly visible even on a tiny screen.
6. Create shorter content
Creating for mobile means snackable content but also hooking the users in the first seconds: given the choice,
even with highly engaging ads, many users skip away as soon as they can.
7. Personalise your messaging
Make sure the classic video distribution approach is complemented by engaging fans and communities.
Personalisation and customisation are rising trends that make for great engagement between the user and
the brand.
8. Explore live streaming
Immediacy and 360-degree formats allow users to feel more involved, generating more transversal content
that goes beyond advertising for a specific product.
9. Use second screening, go mobile first
As over 80% of users turn to their mobile devices while watching TV, mobile should be the focal point of any
video campaign, not just TV’s ancillary.
10. Drive to store
Mobile video goes beyond branding: with m-commerce surging, video can be shoppable, too. Interactive
VPAID formats allow users to engage directly with the content.

Creating for mobile video:
Why it matters
30
As mobile truly revolutionised video advertising, it is time for brands to mobilise their creative genius,
too. With TV losing ground, mobile leads the growth in digital video advertising.
So why does mobile video matter?
In a recap of our findings, Teads presents:
TEN GOLDEN RULES OF MOBILE VIDEO
1. Plan cross-screen but think mobile first
An integrated approach of digital + TV helps push back the point of diminishing returns as campaigns follow
the user journey across devices. As users are more receptive to ad intrusion on mobile, use it as a standard
to define the advertising experience.
2. Choose native video formats
With ad blocking behaviour on the rise, especially on mobile, advertisers need to refrain from intrusive ad
formats and use native video ads, that are seamlessly integrated in the feed of the content rather than
forced to the user.
3. Make it work with no sound
Videos are often played silently. Making the video work both with or without sound is imperative to yield
good results.
4. Adapt to viewing behaviour
Not all video is consumed horizontally – square and vertical formats are equally important and need to be
taken into account by creating content that works across all formats.
