CHICAGO — Video ads are three times more effective than display ads in delivering brand goals, says Gian Fulgoni, co-counder and executive chairman emeritus of comScore, in an interview with Beet.TV
“Video-delivered campaigns are much more effective than display in terms of a causing a lift in some action metrics as well as attitudinal branding metrics like favorability, recall and purchase,” he says. A brand needs three times as many display impressions to cause the same impact as video. The caveat is video ads have a higher cost. Still, display ads tend to get lost in the clutter while video ads stand out. For instance, a comScore study found that while both display and video ads drive consumers to a brand web site, video ads entice them to stay nearly three times as long. Video can drive impact faster with fewer exposures, he says.
