Consumers Pay 4X More Attention to CTV Ads When They Are Contextually Targeted with Artificial Intelligence
NEW YORK, Oct. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Due to the advanced targeting capabilities of CTV, advertisers can now get more granular in how they pair their ads with the precise contextual indicators within individual episodes. A new study by Alliance for Video-Level Contextual Advertising (AVCA), an organization dedicated to funding research into the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for contextual advertising in streaming, found that consumers pay nearly 4X (3.9X) more attention to ads that are hyper-relevant to the content they are watching.
- "In our first study, we found consumers respond better when the ads they see are relevant to the specific content they are watching.
- AI-enabled contextually targeted ads attract and hold consumer attention as these ads had 300% higher aided brand recall and double the unaided brand recall of ads that were targeted using standard demographic data and publisher-declared metadata such as keywords, genre, and rating.
- The study also found viewers of AI-enabled contextual targeting were least distracted, generating 15% more total ad attention than ads targeted with demographic and publisher-declared metadata.
- In fact, 63% of respondents stated that they paid more attention to AI-enabled contextually targeted ads.
