Evolution of Media in a Streaming Dominated World – Martechcube

Infillion, an advertising platform built for the connected future, today revealed a new study exploring the evolution of streaming advertising as it relates to more relevant, personalized and interactive experiences.Conducted in partnership with market research providerIpsos, the findings reveal the relationship of ad formats and lengths to attention metrics and explores consumer sentiment around marketers paradox, privacy vs. the clear desire for more personalization.

The study also shows that consumers know their value when it comes to viewing media and that they are willing to share personal data and time in exchange for more relevant advertisements.

Key findings were based on 2,500 U.S. consumer responses and they revealed:

Overwhelming ad frequency is the most widely reported reason consumers avoid ads, while half of consumers see tailored ads as good or helpful if theyre relevant to their interests. The need for outstanding creative has never been more crucial.

When it comes to viewing media, consumers know their value.Consumers want marketers to reward them for their time with more personalized content that speaks to more premium experiences.

Consumers are open to the collection of data for advertising purposes, and as a result, expect more personalized content and offers in exchange for their time and attention.

The research underscores that in a new, more advanced media world, advertisers have an opportunity to capture more, not less, consumer time, attention and data. This is an especially powerful call to arms for marketers who have been focused on shorter, fewer ads and asking for less relevant data. The research clearly suggests that relevancy and innovation are central to engagement in the future, according to Jamie Auslander, SVP, Research & Analytics, Infillion.

In response to the study, Infillion is launchingXtendedViewlater this year, a long-form video ad unit, up to two minutes in length, that consumers opt-in to watch allowing brands to deepen storytelling and education for targeted audiences. Viewers exposed to an XtendedView ad will receive less ads throughout their content viewing experience, focusing their attention on a singular brand message rather than the jarring experience of several ads stacked against each other. XtendedView is purpose-built to address opportunities for entertainment companies to share full-length trailers; for healthcare companies to engage with more personalized stories; for candidates to share their platforms in political ads and for other expressive storytelling.
