  • Research: Pre-Roll Remains Best Performing Video Ad Format

    Pre-rolls remain the workhorse of video advertising, outperforming other formats across metrics including recall, engagement and relevance.

  • Research: TV Shows Are Still Most Popular Video For Millennials, But UGC is Close Behind

    Here's a good news / bad news story for TV executives closely watching millennials' video consumption habits as a harbinger of what the future may look like.

To help clarify things, yesterday YuMe and IPG Media Lab released a new study yesterday (download here) which shows that while the role of screen size matters, other factors including ad clutter, creative content and context actually matter more in determining ad effectiveness.

    In the study, 147 participants were exposed to ads on linear TV, connected TV, PC and mobile devices with ad load and frequency typical of what is found when viewing content on these devices. Four different types of content were shown, depending on participants' interests.  Participants' ad recall, excitement and attention were each measured, through a mix of follow-up surveys and biometric tools.
