New Study Reveals Campaigns That Include Both TV & Digital Video Drive Stronger Results Than Digital Alone
A recent study from Effectv and MediaScience evaluates brand metrics and advertising perceptions for digital video-only campaigns versus campaigns that include both digital and TV components.
When shown ads in both TV and digital video environments, the study found that:
- Viewers spent 3X more time with ads on TV and digital compared to digital video alone
- Their brand recall more than doubled when a digital video ad was accompanied by a TV ad for the same brand
- There was a 15% lift in purchase intent when ads aired on TV plus digital video compared to digital alone
The study also examined how exposure to TV ads impacted participants’ perception of the brand’s digital video ads. When a digital ad was preceded by a TV ad, the researchers observed a 12% lift in brand attitude, suggesting that TV provides a halo effect for digital ads. Additionally, digital video ads were perceived to be less intrusive and less “annoying” after TV exposure.
This shows that TV advertising is an essential piece of most marketing plans, complementing digital channels and making advertising dollars work harder. “TV is a trusted source of information, and pairing TV with digital video more effectively builds brand strength than digital alone,” said John Brauer, Executive Director of Data, Insights and Innovation, Effectv.
