26. Video
15 seconds appears to be an optimal length for digital
video creative in the pre-roll position. 5-second spots
had trouble conveying a message; while 30-second
spots risked turning off a viewer waiting to watch
something else.
30-second spots do well at conveying a complex or
emotionally resonant message, but work best in user-
initiated placements (where the user must take an
action, like clicking on an ad or rolling over an in-text link,
to begin playing the ad) where viewers display more
patience for long messages.
Pre-roll, in-text, and in-banner video ad placements can
all contribute to achieving the goals of a campaign;
however, different placements may perform optimally
with different creative lengths.
27. Video Ads Learning
Results suggest that quality video ad creative is
able to increase awareness metrics across all
placements and lengths, but when the campaign
goal is to persuade consumers to take action or
change brand perception, the :15 length and
user initiated placements can be more effective.
The :30 length is better than shorter lengths at
conveying a complex or emotionally resonant
message, but works best in user-initiated
placements, where online viewers display more
patience for longer messages.

51. Social Network Ads – Key Findings
The value of social media is best measured by
the frequency or depth of engagement with
consumers.
“For marketers, endorsement by consumers in
the form of friending/following/subscribing
validates their efforts and activates a viral
distribution of their brand across channels.”
Traditional “click here now” banner ads are not
always appropriate in social environments.
Marketers and agencies need to develop
creative that incorporates social elements and
engages consumers in a chain of activities, as
do Facebook’s “Engagement Ads,” MySpace’s
“Interaction Ads”
52. Social Network Ads – Key Findings
Because social media cut across conventional
marketing organizational silos and budgets –
PR, marketing, customer service, etc. - all these
groups need to be brought into the development
and optimization of social media campaigns.
Authenticity reigns. Conversations cannot be
controlled, they can only be joined, so marketers
have to be willing to listen and learn from the
consumers they engage through social media.
55. Be Careful
“A common feature on many
websites, Facebook widgets,
or buttons, allow any user to
share a piece of content by
posting it to the newsfeed of
their friends on Facebook. In
the case of Novartis, its
Tasigna post appeared on
Facebook with a link and a
short line of text explaining the
use of the drug. But that was a
violation of FDA requirements
for disclosing all risk
information about a drug.”
