On September 21, 2022, speakers from Kantar, Meta, Next Media Partners, Snap, VMLY&R, Wunderman Thompson Intelligence and XRGuild shared insights into how the Metaverse will impact marketers. They discussed implications for interoperability as well as paid advertising.
At this Insights Studio, authors from three different continents showcase their recently published work—including the JAR Best Paper 2022 on how advertising expenditures drive consumers’ perceptions of ad and brand quality. Also featured are studies on deepfakes and AI reshaping the advertising industry, the success of using product endorsers who are actors known for roles portraying despicable characters, and KPI patterns of social media influencers across several platforms. Talking points in the concluding Q&A span the future of AI in advertising and influencer marketing, machine-driven decisions for choosing endorsers, and factors (product- and economic-related) affecting consumer perceptions of quality in TV ads and engagement in user-generated content.

There is a ton of research on the signaling effects of ad spending. But new work tackles lingering questions: Why do advertising expenditures have a stronger impact on perceived quality for some brands and in some product categories but not as much for others? And how do increases in expenditures across different media channels affect quality perceptions?

The initial batch of Nielsen data suggests that viewing in bars, gyms, and other public venues is winning back a not-insignificant volume of “lost” impressions.
According to Nielsen’s newly-processed out-of-home data, ESPN in October enjoyed a 7% lift in its overall deliveries among adults 18-49 and 25-54, thanks to concentrated viewing by the nation’s gym rats, bar flies and other sports fans watching from beyond the bounds of their own living rooms. College football saw the biggest out-of-home lift in the key sales demos, as deliveries for adults 18-49/25-54 were up 9% compared to ESPN’s linear TV ratings.

From VentureBeat – “Shoppers Take to In-store Video Ads”
Research into Digital OOH has been expanding. Eye-tracking software and scanning technology now make it possible for marketers to see what kinds of ads people are watching and which parts of the screen they view.
Millward Brown conducted a study last month, among the notable findings:
Checkout lines are the most hated part of shopping.
Most customers are interested in watching screens.
Nearly half of customers are more likely to shop at stores with screens.

Conference Paper – “Out of Home Advertising at Scale” – IRI
IRI had already collected empirical metadata that indicated significant underestimation of OOH impacts, especially for retail and consumer goods (both CPG and durable).
We now have leveraged a trade-area based approach to more accurately measure OOH by making the distance from OOH location to point-of-sale.
In order to understand how this localized impact model performs vs. the industry standard Market-level model, we ran a side-by-side comparison of both approaches across a cross-section of brands representing multiple categories including Beverages, Home Care, Snacks and Personal Care. Results will be presented at the ARF conference.
From Adweek: Article in the News – “Twitter Is Making It Easier for Big Brands to Target Smaller Groups”
Twitter is adding sublayers to ad campaigns. The goal is to make it easier for larger brands to better target and monitor advertising on their platform.
Twitter product marketing manager Andrea Hoffman wrote, “One campaign can have many ad groups, and an ad group can have many targeting criteria and creatives. This level of granular control helps advertisers improve how they measure results, set promotion schedules, test different audiences, and identify which Tweets work best.”
