Millward Brown AdReaction: Video Creative in a Digital World Global Report
2. 2
Introduction
AdReaction studies have been conducted since 2001, delivering insights on consumers' perceptions of advertising,
particularly digital formats.
AdReaction: Video Creative in a Digital World addresses key questions facing marketers, including:
• How are videos viewed by screen – and for how long?
• What do people think of video ads by screen?
• How can I create ads that consumers won’t skip?
We surveyed, via smartphone or tablet, more than 13,500 16-45 year old multiscreen users across 42 countries.
Multiscreen users were defined as people who own, or have access to, a TV and a smartphone and/or a tablet. We also
conducted parallel copy testing for 20 ads in eight countries, across TV, online video and mobile video ad formats,
interviewing more than 10,000 consumers.
This report summarizes overall global learning. For data by country, please visit www.millwardbrown.com/adreaction

SummaryofFindings
To maximize your chances of video creative success, think:
Right person
• Beyond TV: multiscreeners spend as much time watching online video (particularly mobile video) as they do watching
TV; begin aligning your media spend towards this.
• Targeting matters: interest, category and brand-based targeting make a real difference in your video content being
positively received.
Right context
• Assume resistance: many people don’t like ads, particularly online, so your video must earn the right for attention.
• Embrace control: online video formats that offer rewards or provide control (skippable, click-to-play)
are strongly preferred, so use these where possible.
Right content
• Work with the skip: skippable formats are a creative challenge worth focussing on; aim for early impact.
• Assume adaptation: consider digital early in the creative process; even great ads can be optimized across channels
5. AdReaction Video
Survey research was conducted in 42 countries among 13,500+ 16-45 year old Multiscreen users.
Parallel copy testing research (TV vs. online vs. mobile) was conducted for 20 ads in eight countries.

6. Share of total screen minutes bears no relation to media spend
Although it is growing quickly, mobile media spend will continue to significantly trail share of multiscreeners’ screen time.
If mobile can monetize more efficiently, there is clearly growth potential.

Global video
viewing habits
are changing
More diverse content is
available any time, any place
and via any device – driving
new video viewing behaviors.
Audiences mainly seek out
favorite shows or content, and
increasingly binge view. They
also surf randomly and are often
inspired by social media.

Attitudes to
targeting can
be positive
Audiences prefer video ad
targeting based on their
interests and the types of
brands they follow.
They are less favorable towards
targeting based on web
browsing history. There is a bit
of contradiction, since browser
history may drive interest-based
targeting.

Attitudes toward
targeting are
less positive
when it feels like
stalking
This implies that
advertisers need to be
careful of being too clever
or invasive with targeting
approaches. Relevant is
good. Spooky is too much.
Ad for a video
game in my pc. It
was good but I felt
a bit stalked by the
tracking.

scrolling through
social media and it
made me feel
annoyed.

Q: Describe when you last remember realizing a
video ad had been targeted at you. Where did it
happen and how did it make you feel?
14. 14
Most video
viewing takes
place at home
All devices are mainly used at
home (and receptivity to ads is
slightly higher at home – see
appendix). Computers, Tablets
and Smartphones are also used
at work and a few other diverse
places.
Mobile geo-targeting should not
exclude home viewing without
good reason – otherwise a lot of
viewing opportunities will be lost.

Separate correlation analysis
suggests that social viewing
can increase advertising
receptivity.
Advertisers should respect the
“private” mindset which online
video viewing creates; targeting
“social” digital viewing moments
is challenging, but worthwhile.

than digital

Many people still do not like
digital video ads, so the
industry has work to do.
People are more receptive to
ads on TV in all countries
globally, except for Philippines
and Poland where favorability
is equal.

18. 18
Control is the
main driver of
ad receptivity
In countries where respondents
feel they have greater control
over ad exposure, advertising
receptivity is higher.
Correlation analysis also
confirmed a very strong
respondent-level relationship
between control and receptivity
for all devices, especially
smartphones.

TV “gets away”
with less
control over
ads due to
familiarity
Audiences feel most in control
of their ad exposure on
computers.
Lower control over ads on Live
TV does not damage ad
receptivity (presumably due to
acceptance of status quo).

preferred
Beyond rewards-based ads,
audiences prefer formats that
give them some control of their
viewing, like skippable & click-
to-play.

People are

While they may be of more niche
appeal, tutorial videos are very
popular. Review videos may mean
giving up some control over
content, but are also well received.
The implication is that brands need
a broader video content strategy
beyond paid online video.

need to consider digital early in the creative process
Humor is the main way to prevent skipping ads; it was the top reason in 30 of 42 countries studied.
Quickly establishing brand or category relevance also helps.

Some ads are

But can even great ads

26. 26
Beware the cliff
Even with highly engaging
ads, many skip away as
soon as they can.
We see this pattern for
YouTube skippable pre-roll
and Facebook auto-play.
While advertisers don’t pay
if the ad is skipped, this is
about maximizing impact.

Getting the
click
For Facebook click-to-play,
the initial frame and the
introductory text is crucial: it
needs to be creatively
engaging.
But the ad needs to deliver
on the promise of that
frame and introduction.
These are two good
examples.
UK
USA
32. 32
Size matters
If the ad is likely to be seen
on a mobile device, keep
screen size in mind.
Small details may be lost.
For example, the brand
needs to be clearly visible,
as in this Vanish Gold ad.
This Selleys ad works well
on TV and online; but if it
were to be shown on mobile,
the brand might be lost.
GERMANY

too long.

Ad receptivity is
related to
effectiveness, but
they are not the
same thing
High receptivity makes the
advertisers’ task easier, but
overall effectiveness (the sum of
content effects across multiple
contexts) still needs to be
measured for individual
campaigns.
Stated assessments of
receptivity are also unable to
account for factors such as
levels of clutter, specific
placements, etc.

effectiveness learning
shows that video on
different channels has
different roles
CrossMedia studies show that TV
tends to generate the most impact
per person for engagement metrics,
likely due in part to high receptivity
Early findings from Brand Lift
Insights studies are that mobile
video outperforms online video.
Since this is not due to higher ad
favorability it must be due to other
receptivity factors such as lack of
clutter and format novelty.

Approaches are
similar across

Video viewing is mainly about
entertainment and relaxation,

mindsets can apply to all
devices.
Live TV is more about

Video on computers is more
often searching for information

Survey
definitions
This study relies on participants’
interpretation of our survey
questions.
On Demand TV viewing is a
rapidly evolving space, still
unfamiliar to many people.
Although our On Demand TV
viewing questions were only
asked of people with access to
a “Television connected to the
Internet”, it is possible that On
Demand TV figures may be
overstated and may contain
some Live TV viewing.

penetration by
country
AdReaction’s sample of 16-
45 year-old multiscreen
consumers is an advanced
sub-group of the overall
population.
This penetration data from
Google helps put our sample
in context. Smartphone users
are relatively “mainstream” in
countries such as UK but still
a more niche target in other
countries such as Brazil.
