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 non skippable
With 4.16 seconds of Active Attention, Youtube pre-roll non-skippable is the most effective option for a small brand to achieve awareness objectives. More than 52% of the ad is actively consumed, ensuring strong message delivery before users disengage.
Complementary format
Tv-bvod
tv-bvod
A complementary choice for boosting engagement is Tv-Bvod tv-bvod. With 3.3 seconds of Active Attention and 4.22 seconds of Passive Attention, it enhances visibility and reach.
Reconsider format
General Web
outstream video
Formats with less than 0.78 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
Needs Work
Small brands should maximize branding presence in awareness campaigns. By this time, only 56.1% of viewers are still engaged—delayed branding limits brand exposure, shift earlier for stronger impact.
Ad length and format
Needs Work
A 10-second ad is borderline for upper-funnel brand-building, as more time is often needed for storytelling and establishing new associations. For a small brand, maximizing impact is essential—consider slightly longer ad lengths, or at minimum, ensure messaging is concise and branding appears early to drive recognition.
