Recommendations
Actionable guidance to optimise media choices and enhance creative effectiveness based on your results.
Media recommendations
If creative cannot be changed, which media choices maximise attention?
Recommended format
YouTube
pre-roll skippable
With 4.1 seconds of Active Attention, YouTube pre-roll skippable is the most effective option for a small brand to achieve awareness objectives. More than 14% of the ad is actively consumed, ensuring strong message delivery before users disengage.
Complementary format
General Web
pre-roll
A complementary choice for boosting engagement is General Web pre-roll. With 2.3 seconds of Active Attention and 10.57 seconds of Passive Attention, it enhances visibility and reach.
Reconsider format
General Web
outstream video
Formats with less than 0.57 seconds of Active Attention are not viable for awareness-building, regardless of brand scale. Insufficient exposure before drop-off weakens effectiveness.
Creative recommendations
If you can't influence the media, but can influence the creative.
Branding
Ineffective
Small brands need immediate visibility in awareness campaigns. Late branding results in only 34.1% of viewers still seeing the message—adjust creative for stronger brand positioning.
Ad length and format
Strong
These formats effectively support long-form ad lengths, offering smaller brands a valuable opportunity to compete with larger players. To maximize impact, reinforce branding strategically throughout the ad to enhance recognition and ensure lasting recall.
