According to data from WARC (2018), digital display is now the second biggest display media, after TV. However, many businesses still use digital display as a performance-only channel.
IAB sought to understand both the effectiveness of display as a brand building medium, and how digital display campaigns perform when working alongside other media. Conducting robust analysis of the brand metrics of 263 individual campaigns, and a further 125 cross-media campaigns, Kantar was able to show how effective digital display can be, when they are executed well. In order to do this, we examined the top 20% performing digital display campaigns and looked at the difference between a number of brand metrics. For example, these campaigns achieved an uplift for purchase intent that was five times higher than average.
Analysis of the top 20% performing campaigns reinforced five basic rules for getting it right.
Make the brand instantly visible and prominent across all frames of the ad. Kantar’s case studies show that the presence of clear branding results in much higher awareness.
IAB’s research also uncovered the benefits of pairing digital display with other media to maximise effectiveness. Kantar’s analysis showed a significant uplift in metrics of awareness, association and motivation when campaigns were paired with DOOH, and an uplift in the same metrics when digital display and TV campaigns were combined.
