Here’s all you need to know. 📝 IntroHow do you encourage more people to watch your ads, rather than skip or mute them? In the past, advertisers played ads as loud as possible to attract attention. This isn’t happening anymore (fortunately). Technology can prevent ads from playing louder than regular programs and new regulations have appeared to stop the practice, such as the CALM (Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation) Act - enforced in the US since 2012. So advertisers have started making ads more energetic, as a way to make more people watch them. Does it work? This study analyzed the viewing behavior of 9 million US households of 27,000 TV ads to find out. High energy ads are more likely to be watchedImpacted metrics: Ad reach 📈 RecommendationMake your video ads highly energetic. Use upbeat, exciting, and fast-changing music, narration, and video shots. People will be less likely to avoid them. This effect gives a positive boost on average, not always. For example, avoid showing energetic ads when people are watching sad or relaxing content, or when it’s not appropriate for your product (e.g. a romantic holiday destination). Use your judgment. If you can, try to show your energetic ads during the day and evening rather than nighttime. 🎓 Findings
