UK video ad trends- Advertisers ‘think video ads are more effective than TV’

More than half of UK advertisers (52%) think online video ads are more effective than TV, while mobile is set to have the largest increase in media spend this year, according to a new survey.

The findings come from BrightRoll’s 2012 UK Video Advertising Report. The second annual survey gathers insight from more than 100 top decision makers and media buyers at leading UK advertising agencies and shares their unique perspective of the UK video advertising landscape.
Last year’s inaugural survey found that digital video was gaining momentum among UK advertisers and the 2012 survey confirms digital video is on a continued path for rapid growth.
More than 82 percent of the UK web population watch online video and 65 percent of the UK online video audience is exposed to video ads each month, according to comScore.
As consumers watch more video online, and with the demonstrated shift towards mobile, UK advertisers realise the opportunity video provides to reach audiences where they are increasingly engaged.
The BrightRoll survey asked UK respondents to compare the effectiveness of video to other channels: 87 percent agree video is equally or more effective than display, while more than half (52 percent) believe video is equally or more effective than TV.

When it comes to inventory, 41 percent of UK advertisers are most inclined to buy video from a broadcaster, while 22 percent are most likely to buy from an ad network. Ad networks are also key inventory sources in the US and Canada, as indicated in similar BrightRoll surveys conducted earlier this year.

These surveys have also shown that reaching a highly targeted audience continues to be a key benefit of digital video for global advertisers. In the UK, more than half of all survey respondents (53 percent) cite targeting as the most valuable aspect of online video for clients.

Demographic targeting (35 percent) is the preferred technique among UK advertisers, followed by behavioural targeting (25 percent). These results differ in the US and Canada where the majority of respondents prefer behavioural targeting.

Additional key findings from the UK Video Advertising Report include:
• 52 percent of UK advertisers expect mobile to have the largest overall increase in media spend in 2013.
• As UK budgets shift to mobile and online, advertisers are clear about the need for stronger success metrics – 29 percent want better campaign measurement tools, 22 percent would like to see research around the GRP comparison to TV, and 17 percent want research on proven ROI.
• When it comes to digital video ad spend, 44 percent of advertisers cite CPV as the most important metric, compared to just 17 percent in 2011.
• More than 90 percent of UK advertisers believe research around the efficacy of digital video provides value to the client, even though only 30 percent have conducted research.
“As the opportunity for digital video continues to grow in the UK, there’s a clear need to increase education about advanced targeting and research,” said Daryl McNutt, SVP marketing and research at BrightRoll. “At BrightRoll we’re committed to helping our customers take advantage of the power of video, and with the UK survey, we are helping advertisers understand how to build stronger brands and connect with audiences at scale.”
BrightRoll began conducting annual agency surveys in 2009, releases reports in the US and Canada, and for the second year, in the UK.

    There is definitely such a big debate with all of this advertising. Unsure which is better online advertising or tv advertisment. Only time will tell with it all here. Drywall Toronto

  2. 锘縈on amoureux a fait sa demande en mariage le jour de notre premier anniversaire
    Yourself] Mon amoureux et moi nous sommes rencontr茅s dans un mus茅e o霉 nous travaillions tous les deux. Ensuite nos chemins se sont plus ou moins s茅par茅s. Je suis partie terminer mes 茅tudes 脿 Paris et lui a choisi une voix diff茅rente (il est entr茅 au s茅minaire le temps d’une ann茅e pendant laquelle il a r茅fl茅chi 脿 une 茅ventuelle vocation pour devenir pr锚tre.). Les mois sont pass茅s, nous sommes rest茅s amis et puis il s’est rendu compte qu’il faisait fausse route.
    Il a fait ses bagages et a choisi une vie avec mariage et enfants. Cela faisait d茅j脿 plusieurs mois que je lui avais avou茅 que je l’aimais. Nous avons alors commenc茅 脿 construire notre histoire: nous avons emm茅nag茅 ensemble et avant parl茅 de multiples projets.
    Pour notre premier anniversaire, mon amoureux nous a organis茅 une apr猫s-midi dans le mus茅e o霉 nous nous 茅tions rencontr茅s. Alors que je prenais tout mon temps pour discuter avec mes anciennes coll猫gues, je sentais qu’il s’impatientait, m’invitant avec insistance 脿 poursuivre notre visite dans les jardins. Il a fait sa demande sous la pergola avec un bouquet de roses rouges qu’il avait fait d茅poser en cachette. C’茅tait tr猫s simple mais tr猫s symbolique pour nous. D’ailleurs nous y sommes encore revenus pour y faire une s茅ance photos en amoureux avec la talentueuse Anne-Sophie d’Ela the Poppies! robe de cocktail
