75% of ad agencies responding to a BrightRoll survey believe that video is equally or more effective than TV, and that’s up from 64% who believed that to be the case in last year’s survey, according to a new BrightRoll report. Even more respondents (91%) believe that digital video measures up well with display, although they’re less convinced about its effectiveness compared to social media (68%), search (52%) and direct response (45%). The most important aspect of video advertising to clients is its targeting capabilities, according to 45% of respondents, with reach (27%) also valuable.
Interestingly, only 10% believe that video’s price relative to TV is its most valuable aspect to clients. The researchers suggest that advertisers are moving beyond simple comparisons between digital and TV, instead comparing advertising categories that incorporate sight, sound and motion regardless of the screen. Indeed, separately only about 1 in 10 said they’d like to see more research into online performance versus TV advertising, down 59% from 2011. Read the rest at MarketingCharts.
