Beyond Reach, the Importance of Measuring Ad Resonance

Tom Weiss – Chief Data Scientist, MarketCast

Megan Daniels – SVP of Product, MarketCast

Tom Weiss and Megan Daniels of MarketCast introduced a new metric in their break-out session: brand effect resonance. This product evolved from one called Brand Effect which uses a combination of survey (15,000 consumers per day) and behavioral data across linear, social, digital (popular websites) and streaming. First developed by IAG, then owned by Nielsen and then Phoenix, Brand Effect stands as the main engine of the brand-effect resonance rating system, which was created to overcome gaps in reach measurement. They believe it can now isolate and show exactly how content and platform quality impacts advertising performance. Resonance here is defined as how well people remember the ad, how well they understood the creative and the message and how well they can link it back to the brand. Ad resonance measurement is said to be able to isolate the impact of content and platform on ad recall.

Understanding the Relationship Between Creative Attention and Media Performance

Realeyes and TVision presented an analysis of the relationship between pre-test measures of “creative attention” (from Realeyes) and in-market attention to television advertising (from TVision). Realeyes’ “Quality Score” has three components: an ad’s ability to capture visual attention, its ability to retain attention and its ability to encode attention. Their overall quality scores were strongly correlated with TVision’s Creative Attention Scores for Consumer Tech Ads, moderately correlated for CPG ads, and weakly correlated for streaming entertainment ads. The environment in which an ad is shown plays a major role in the degree to which viewers pay attention to an ad, particularly for low-performing creative. The speakers showed an example of a video ad with relatively low attention quality, as measured by Realeyes, which nonetheless had relatively high Creative Attention in-market due to running in environments with high viewability and high attention.
