Attention and Ad Impact: New Insights from New Research

Attention and Ad Impact: New Insights from New Research

  • The ARF
  • KNOWLEDGE AT HAND; CMO BRIEF

One of the essential goals of advertising is to get customers’ attention. However, a lot of campaigns approach this simplistically. More “attention” does not necessarily mean an ad is more effective. Attention is a much more complex phenomenon than that. While attention is a prerequisite for ad impact, the term is ambiguous, complex and difficult to measure. Moreover, “attention” does not necessarily indicate a positive response, and a high level of attention is not always a sign of a positive ad impact.

Best Practices for Comingling Set-Top Box and Smart TV ACR Data

Best Practices for Comingling Set-Top Box and Smart TV ACR Data

Data sets for STBs and Smart TVs have, up until now, been separate from one another, which has hampered the ability to accurately assess viewing habits. This data would be very useful for planning, buying and optimizing ad campaigns. Since the two are complementary, combining them can help us form scaled, granular, TV tuning data sets that are more nationally representative. Luckily, a new report from the Coalition for Innovative Media Measurement (CIMM)—a subsidiary of the ARF, outlines best practices for combining set-top box data and smart TV ACR data.

Cross-platform media measurement has never been more crucial. Fortunately, industry experts met recently at the 10th Annual CIMM Cross-Platform Video Measurement & Data Summit to discuss recent advancements across the industry, and what needs to be done to arrive at solutions. CIMM CEO and Managing Director Jane Clarke opened this year’s virtual event by outlining the organization’s vision for developing more effective cross-media measurement. She revealed the “building blocks” to such an endeavor: TV census-like data, digital census data, cross-media or “Linked” panels and ID resolution. Clarke also outlined the state of measurement as it stands now.

Surveys are a necessary tool for exploring consumer behavior, attitudes and intentions. They provide valuable data to help make informed business decisions. However, quality matters and ignoring best practices impacts the validity and reliability of findings, which might make the data unusable.
