FEWER, BETTER ADS • Newsbrands tend to adopt a ‘fewer, better ads’ approach which concentrates attention on advertising 4 3 • 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’ 5 1 2 Source: Lumen Research
SIZE - AND MOVEMENT - MATTERS • • 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 70% 60% % Viewed Newsbrands support larger and richer formats, which results in increased attention 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 Viewable time (s) 2. 5 Av dwell time (s) • 2. 0 1. 5 1. 0 0. 5 0. 0 0 10 20 30 40 Viewable time (s) 160 x 600 300 x 250 728 x 90 970 x 250 300 x 600 Source: Lumen Research
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 Eurotunnel not in context 63 Eurotunnel in context Giffgaff on sponsored article 436 100 209 • 215 The dwell time with the ads next to the relevant content was significantly higher than norm, and vs the control groups Engagement with Giffgaff ads has been re-based to 100
RELEVANCE OF CONTENT AND CONTEXT • We served Beats and Samsung ads next to the same content on Culture and Technology pages of a major newsbrand • Beats ads got far more aggregate attention on the Culture page – and Samsung more aggregate attention on the Technology page Beats Samsung Culture 5. 6” 2. 1” Technology 2. 4” 4. 7” Source: Lumen Research Based on 312 views of billboard + 2 MPUs on identical pages
