New research conducted by advertising measurement specialist Kantar and adtech specialist Mirriad Advertising has revealed some remarkable findings about the effectiveness of in-content advertising.
The groundbreaking research conducted on live campaigns showed that brand awareness, ad awareness, viewer favourability and purchase consideration all improved when in-content advertising was run alongside traditional TV spots.
The findings should resonate with streaming providers - increasingly exploring ad funded models but wary of viewers concerns over advertising overload – and advertisers seeking ways of improving the effectiveness of their advertising expenditure.
Vox spoke to Tim Jones, Global Head of Research and Insight at Mirriad Advertising (MIRI), and Sparsh Pandya, client director of media insights at research group Kantar, to discover more about the research, and its implications for Mirriad’s growth prospects.
