TECH TALK

Reaching people when they are in a relevant mindset is the driving force behind advertising effectiveness, according to a new study by MAGNA Media Trials in partnership with GumGum. The new report, “Mindset Matters: Deconstructing Contextual Video,” found that ads that are delivered within contextually relevant environments are more positive for people, and work harder for brands. Contextual video targeting drives metrics for brands, with brand favorability up +4%, recommendation intent up +5%, and search intent up +6%. Further, contextual improves ad experiences for people with 10% feeling the ad was relevant to them and 6% finding the ad entertaining.

“While we’ve seen the power of contextual in our research, it was fascinating to finally identify the strongest driver of contextual performance – mindset,” said Kara Manatt, SVP, Intelligence Solutions, MAGNA. “Reaching the right people is always important, but reaching people at the right time, when they are in the right mindset for the message, strongly contributes to impact on brand KPIs, such as brand favorability and purchase intent.”

Video ads dominate programmatic buying, while CTV and Audio are up and coming, according to a new IAS study, “Perfecting Your Supply Path.” Social video (71%), mobile web video (61%), and mobile app video (60%) were top formats, while CTV (38%) and Digital Audio (37%) are still emerging. 54% of advertisers say that maximizing audience reach and scale is the primary benefit of programmatic, but a lack of transparency in programmatic (42%), plus increased ad fraud (44%) and brand risk (46%), are prominent challenges. SPO strategies are on the rise – 95% of ad buyers will boost their SPO efforts by working with third parties – yet brands and agencies don’t see eye to eye on who should take responsibility for SPO and media quality, notes the report.

Yahoo is expanding its strategic partnership with BuzzFeed, to provide advertisers premium access to BuzzFeed’s inventory while ensuring post-cookie addressability. With the partnership, BuzzFeed will leverage Yahoo’s unified advertising technology stack, and provide Yahoo with preferred programmatic access to deals via the Yahoo SSP. BuzzFeed will also adopt Yahoo’s people-first identity solutions, Yahoo ConnectID and Next-Gen Solutions for mobile app, pairing the media company’s first-party data with Yahoo’s. “By bringing together Yahoo’s unified ad tech with our premium sites and creator network, we will unlock unique opportunities for advertisers to connect with Millennial and Gen-Z audiences at scale, while maximizing monetization for BuzzFeed,” said Ken Blom, SVP of Ad Strategy and Partnerships at BuzzFeed.
