Exploring the perception and future outlook of attention measurement and optimization in digital media

All eyes are on attention. Although it’s one of the most widely discussed topics in digital media, marketers remain divided on how to properly harness it. Attention scores, methodologies, and key performance indicators are increasingly diversified — so how can marketers best measure and optimize their campaigns for higher attention?

IAS partnered with YouGov to assess the current state, perceptions, and future outlook of attention measurement and optimization in digital media. In this study, we surveyed U.S. digital media experts from both the buy- and sell-side to reveal the most important KPIs tracked by attention users and shed light on the business results and success rates attributed to attention strategies.

Here’s what we discovered:

  • 83% of media experts think it’s important for their company to have an attention strategy
  • 79% of media experts report substantial improvement in revenue opportunity since implementing an attention strategy
  • 78% of attention measurement users are prepared to evolve to optimization in the next 12 months

Download the research, The Attention Payoff, to uncover the current state of attention and understand how your brand can be measuring and optimizing it to reach superior results.

How to Leverage Brand Safety & Contextual Segments this Holiday Season https://integralads.com/insider/how-to-leverage-brand-safety-contextual-segments-this-holiday-season/ Wed, 08 Nov 2023 20:21:50 +0000 https://integralads.com/?p=327481 It’s official — holiday shopping has gone digital. As IAS observed prior to last year’s holiday season, more than three-quarters of consumers were planning to do most or all of their holiday shopping online. More online shoppers during the holiday season means more opportunities to advertise promotions and deals online, but increased digital advertising opportunities can also lead to higher chances of brand risk.

IAS gathers campaign data to deep-dive into brand risk during the holidays

It’s official — holiday shopping has gone digital. As IAS observed prior to last year’s holiday season, more than three-quarters of consumers were planning to do most or all of their holiday shopping online. More online shoppers during the holiday season means more opportunities to advertise promotions and deals online, but increased digital advertising opportunities can also lead to higher chances of brand risk.

Brand risk rose during the 2022 holiday season

Consumers have preferences for the ads they see during the holiday season. In fact, 52% of holiday shoppers find ads more helpful on safe and reputable sites, and nearly half prefer when ads are relevant to the surrounding content.

While brand safety measurement is crucial for verifying that ads are in safe and suitable environments, brand risk can still lurk. In an observational study conducted by IAS, we saw that brand risk violations soared this time last year, peaking on October 3 at 7.9% — nearly two times higher than the H2 2022 benchmark. 

Narrowing in on consumer packaged goods (CPG) campaigns, brand risk also soared leading up to last year’s holiday season. Brand risk for CPG brands reached a high of 5.6% on November 29, 2022 — 77% higher than the benchmark in the back half of the year.

Contextual segments can prevent brand risk

Contextual failures (impressions that fail for brand safety by context) can tell us a bit about why brand risk might have spiked at a given time. Looking at Q4 2022, “death, injury, or military conflict” was the top contextual fail reason, accounting for 36% of contextual brand risk fails during Q4 2022, followed by “sensitive social issues” and “negative corporate news.” 

We can’t control what’s in the news. But we can control where brands show up.

Marketers can utilize contextual segments to avoid risk during the holiday season when their brand is more exposed than ever. Looking at data from 2022, Black Friday content soared during the holiday, representing 1.2% of all ad-served content at its peak. With this massive surge in content, marketers might consider targeting impressions about Black Friday shopping — in fact, IAS saw an 89% decrease in contextual brand risk for impressions placed alongside holiday-related contextual segments last year.

More specifically, a CPG brand might want to serve impressions alongside content about holiday food during this time of year. When looking at the contextual segment “sweet snacks,” IAS saw that content about sweet snacks was popular during the 2022 holiday season, spiking up to represent 0.8% of all ad-served content three days before Thanksgiving and up to 1.0% three days prior to Christmas.

Contextual segments, like “Black Friday,” “sweet snacks,” or other topic or vertical-related subjects, help marketers control where their brand is seen, which can be especially crucial during the holidays or times of uncertainty.

How IAS Can Help

Brand risk is hard to predict. It can fluctuate and fall onto brands when they’re least expecting it. To ensure brand safety, it’s critical for any campaign that marketers preemptively enact brand safety and suitability tools that amplify their brand where consumers are looking, while also showing up in safe environments.

The good news? IAS offers Context Control Targeting segments to help advertisers target relevant content based on verticals, holidays, seasonal events, and more. Our Context Control segments are designed to avoid negative or unsafe content while targeting brand suitable contexts at scale.

This holiday season, don’t let your brand get caught in the wrong environments. IAS is here to help you protect your brand while driving superior results across formats and channels.

How marketers can drive superior results on the programmatic supply path

Programmatic is dominating the ad buying space. With benefits like targeting, scaling, and operational efficiencies, it’s no wonder why programmatic appeals to the marketing masses. But despite its features, programmatic ad buying is complicated. It poses significant challenges for marketers, like opaque, complex, and cost inefficient supply paths. And unfortunately, traditional supply path optimization (SPO) products leave marketers with wasted ad spend and a lack of transparency into the quality of impressions being served.

Without transparency into the cost and quality of programmatic ads, marketers are at risk of wasting valuable ad spend on low quality media that doesn’t drive results.

IAS’s latest white paper, Quest for Quality, deep dives into Quality Path Optimization (QPO) to help marketers overcome programmatic buying challenges so they can truly understand the tools they need to drive ROI and performance on the programmatic supply path.

In this white paper, you’ll learn:

  • Why making supply path decisions on cost alone is hurting brands
  • How to identify inefficiencies along the supply path while taking impression quality and transparency into account
  • How IAS’s Total Visibility™ is helping marketers across the globe improve campaign performance and ROI

Don’t compromise the quality of your impressions. Only IAS shows marketers the true financial impact of media quality on the supply path. Download the white paper, Quest for Quality, now to access these insights and more.

The number of online consumers is rapidly growing, and so is the need for ads that capture attention and make an impact. It’s crucial that marketers can depend on a transparent and trustworthy ad publishing process to reach consumers online and drive results without wasting time or money.

That’s where programmatic advertising comes in.

What is programmatic advertising?

Programmatic advertising is the automated buying and selling of ad space in real-time. This process lets marketers target specific audiences and optimize their campaigns for better, scalable results. 

One of the main benefits of programmatic advertising is that it eliminates the need for manual buying and selling, helping to increase time efficiency and avoid human error. Through technology-driven processes, like algorithms and AI, programmatic advertising helps streamline both the purchasing and placement of ads across the digital landscape. Plus, programmatic advertising is flexible, allowing media buyers to shift budgets faster than ever before.

How does programmatic advertising work?

The programmatic supply path is made up of a number of intermediaries that connect advertisers (buyers) to publishers (sellers) to buy and sell ad inventory across digital environments, including open web, social media, CTV, and more.

Ad inventory is managed through demand-side platforms (DSPs) and sell-side platforms (SSPs). DSPs help advertisers buy digital ad inventory through automation, while SSPs compete for advertising demand within programmatic auctions and automate the sale of advertising space for publishers.

programmatic supply path

How does programmatic advertising help marketers?

Programmatic advertising helps marketers make the most of every cent and every second. By using precise targeting and real-time optimization, marketers can improve the efficiency of their campaigns and reach their audiences with individualized ads to engage and enhance brand visibility. 

Programmatic advertising also helps marketers budget their ad spend to ensure that their campaigns are maximizing ROI and reaching other KPIs. Programmatic advertising analyzes metrics and insights, giving marketers real-time transparency so they can refine their targeting strategies and ad placements to drive superior results.

How can IAS help?

The programmatic supply path can be a bit complex, so marketers need the most efficient buys and the fastest campaign optimization. IAS helps verify that your buys are made of Quality Impressions, which measures whether your ads are in-view, seen by a real person, in a brand safe and suitable environment, and in the correct geo. IAS also works to ensure the integrity of your brand and optimize your campaign effectiveness throughout every step of the supply path.

Here’s a quick look at what IAS can offer with our industry-leading programmatic product suite:

As the home entertainment landscape expands, lucrative advertising opportunities will continue to emerge.

Connected TV’s (CTV) meteoric rise has revolutionized the way viewers watch and consume entertainment media. 60% of U.S. households own a CTV device, and CTV usership is expected to surpass 242 million users in the U.S. alone by 2026. As the home entertainment landscape expands, lucrative advertising opportunities will continue to emerge. However, with any successful advertising platform comes threats to your brand — from both external bad actors and risky content that lives on CTV platforms.

What is CTV?

Ever watched your favorite show on a Smart TV? If yes, then you’ve used a CTV device. CTV is any TV device that is connected to the internet and enables users to stream premium content through apps, like Netflix or Hulu. 

A few examples of CTV devices include Apple TV and Roku, but they can also include set-top boxes and gaming consoles like Amazon Fire TV, Xbox, and PlayStation.

What is CTV advertising?

CTV advertising refers to video ads that are shown to viewers while they stream their favorite movies and TV shows. This type of programmatic advertising allows for highly accurate audience targeting and in-depth measurement of media quality metrics like viewability, invalid traffic, brand safety, and more. 

CTV ad breaks are structured similarly to traditional TV ad breaks, with ads served around and within a show in time-based ad pods. However, on CTV, advertisers typically have access to more data, which enables them to be much more granular in their targeting. 

More and more audiences watch free streaming services, making CTV ads more important than ever. CTV advertising plays a significant role in keeping some CTV platforms free for viewers. Without the revenue that comes from CTV ad purchases, many streaming platforms wouldn’t be able to offer free content for their audiences.

The advantages of advertising on CTV

CTV advertising is highly unique. It combines the impact of traditional TV (also known as linear) advertising with the advanced capabilities of modern digital advertising — so you can reach your desired audience in the right place at the right time.

Top 4 benefits of CTV ads:

  1. Rich CTV data enables marketers to precisely target audiences based on age, gender, location, purchase behavior, and more — maximizing engagement and ROAS. 
  2. CTV allows brands to reach broader swaths of consumers, including those who have parted ways with traditional cable TV (“cord-cutters”) and those who never used it (“cord-nevers”).
  3. CTV boasts high video completion rates, as it’s typically not possible for viewers to skip CTV ads
  4. Ad campaigns on CTV are trackable in near real-time thanks to an abundance of first and third party data.

But CTV ads aren’t inherently protected

As with any digital environment, CTV’s terrain isn’t all smooth. Video ad inventory is especially susceptible to fraud, brand risk, and being out-of-view.

In the current fragmented CTV ecosystem, there is a greater risk of fraudulent activity than ever before. Plus, CTV’s expansive ecosystem contains a wide variety of content that could either be unrelated to your brand or damaging to your brand’s image. Having your ads delivered in either of these types of environments can result in wasted ad spend at best and, at worst, permanent damage to your brand’s reputation.

For example, adult content apps are available across most CTV devices; there could also be violent video content, or movie and TV scenes that are in direct conflict with what’s suitable for a specific brand (like a home rental company brand ad running right after a home break-in scene).

Protect your CTV ads with IAS

As CTV adoption continues to skyrocket, so will the risks that come with CTV ads. That’s where IAS comes in. 

IAS works directly with some of the largest streaming platforms to deliver the most actionable data available on CTV. With granular post-bid measurement and pre-bid optimization segments, marketers can better understand their investments and ensure they bid only on valid inventory across streaming platforms.

But we don’t stop there. With the acquisition of Publica in 2021, IAS gained the unique ability to provide CTV streaming publishers and platforms with the ad serving technology to run unified auctions and build seamless ad breaks, enabling sell-side partners to grow their advertising revenues and improve their viewers’ streaming experiences.

If your brand is advertising on CTV, media quality is a must. Reach out to an IAS representative or click here to learn more about how IAS helps you protect your brand, improve ROI, and increase efficiencies on CTV.
