While we know that viewability is important – after all, if the ad doesn’t have the chance to be seen, then that’s truly a wasted impression – we had yet to see the scientific correlation with actual ad effectiveness measures. That’s why we partnered with the IPG Media Lab and Cadreon to conduct a large-scale scientific research study, to quantify the relationship between viewability and brand metrics. This research also investigated other optimisation scenarios that could help elevate the impact of ads at lower levels of viewability. Although the study is not meant to rewrite existing standards, it serves as a guide to advertisers and publishers alike regarding how best to make ads more effective given viewability standards.
