Tremor Video Inc. Releases Video Predictions 2013
NEW YORK, NY, Jan 02, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Brands in 2013 will increasingly use digital video advertising to
test creative ideas before producing expensive TV commercials, tell
more engaging and multichannel stories, and improve the way they
measure the effectiveness of their marketing dollars, according to a
new report produced by Tremor Video Inc. Moreover, brands will use
video metrics to better understand their audience and eventually end
the practice of gender stereotyping that has arisen due to
comparatively simple TV metrics, the report states.
"Brands in 2013 will create and run multiple ads online, assess which
ones people engage with most, and use that insight to decide which
creative to use for their TV ads," says Tremor Video CEO Bill Day in
his company's Video Predictions 2013 report. "This approach could be
used for the Super Bowl, the Oscars, or any large TV media buy where
historically there has been a hope and a prayer in terms of the right
creative for the right audience. We're starting to see marketers use
online video strategy to ensure their bets are the right ones."
With regards to gender stereotyping, Day predicts that marketers this
year will use online video to understand who is interested in their
products.
In the report's video, Day says:
"Because of the relative simple nature of TV metrics, marketers had
to make short-cut assumptions that all men want to look at car ads
and women are the ones to target for food and cleaning products. And
as we know in today's environment, that's just not true... the
opportunity with online video is not to chase gender-stereotypes...
but to extend your buying and your understanding. Who better to
target your ad to than the people who are leaning forward... and
sometimes those people look nothing like the audience you have
traditionally assumed is the audience for your product. Done well,
online video allows you to not be constrained -- to use a broader
approach to reach all those customers, some you've reached
traditionally and some you have not, in an effective way."
Tremor Video Inc. is using financial data to predict that more
marketers will increase their investments in digital video
advertising. The company's revenue from interactive online video ads,
which give people the chance to opt in to see more content, nearly
doubled from Q1 to Q4 in 2012. At the same time, mobile interactive
video units grew: In Q4, 55% of the company's mobile ad revenue came
from interactive units, up from 12% in Q1.
The report, consisting of a blog post and video, also predicts that
brands and agencies will:
1. View TV and digital video ad channels as complementary. When
shooting TV ads, brands and agencies will develop additional content
designed specifically for interactive ad units. The power of touch
(enabled by myriad touch-screen devices) will join sight, sound and
motion as the best ways to engage an audience.
2. Jump on the transmedia bandwagon, following in the footsteps of
Hollywood. With the ability to tell stories across myriad platforms,
media planners will embrace agnostic planning across all screens. TV
and video will rule branding to the detriment of print, outdoor,
radio and online display advertising.
3. Diminish the reliance on the decades-old TV metric -- the GRP. In
addition to Gross Rating Points, which assess how many times an ad
has been shown to a given audience, brands will use online video
metrics to arrive at an ERP for their ad campaign. Effective Rating
Points, a relatively new industry term, reveal which segments of an
ad campaign's broad target audience are engaging with the ads, and if
they are watching them to completion.
