Brands to Publishers: Let Us Check Your Viewability Rates or We'll Stop Buying Ads
Posted in: UncategorizedEarlier this month Google announced that video ads running on YouTube have a chance to be seen 91% of the time. That’s great, and a lot better than the 46% of video ads that Google runs outside of YouTube that never have a chance to be seen. But advertisers would like to be able to check Google’s and every other publisher’s math.
Deep-pocketed brands such as Kellogg are pulling back budgets from major publishers, including Google-owned YouTube and Facebook, that won’t let brands bring in third-party viewability companies to verify how many people may have actually seen their ads.
Ad viewability has become a chief concern for many marketers as they realize that many of the ads they’re buying online never even had a chance to be seen. In December 2014 Google said that 56% of the web’s banner ads are never seen. Evidence like that has led companies like GroupM and Unilever to demand that publishers only charge them for ads that had a 100% chance of being seen.
How The Onion Gets People to Read Sponsored Content: Make Fun of It
Posted in: UncategorizedAbout a month ago, The Onion posted an article to its Facebook page with the headline, “Complete Idiot Forgot to Shave Area Between Nose and Mouth.” The complete idiot, you might have guessed, sports a mustache. The Facebook post has more than 13,000 “likes,” nearly 2,200 shares and reams of comments. It’s also a sponsored post for the Schick Xtreme3 razor — and labeled on Facebook as one in a very Onion kind of way: “There is a stone where our soul once was. Enjoy this #sponsored content.”
Some ad-sales execs would probably sell their own souls for those kind of sharing numbers. Brands are increasingly relying on publishers to not only produce sponsored content, but also ensure their audiences actually read and engage with it.
“Distribution is as important as creation in the content space,” said Scott Donaton, chief content officer at DigitasLBi North America.

Evian's Cute and Clever Print Ads Reveal One-Half of Your Inner Child
Posted in: Uncategorized
Evian’s famous ongoing ad campaign from BETC is all about sight gags showing adults as children. It’s been enormously successful, at least in terms of staggering YouTube view counts on ads like “Roller Babies” and “Baby & Me,” though some people find the whole thing cloying, even creepy.
This new print campaign, though, is straightforward fun—without the CGI that can make the videos off-putting. The beach chair/cell phone one is particularly great. And the framing and simple product placement in each execution are perfect.
Via Adeevee.

Posted in: UncategorizedCharter Agrees to Acquire Time Warner Cable for $55 Billion
Posted in: UncategorizedCharter Communications Inc. agreed to buy Time Warner Cable Inc. for about $55 billion in cash and stock, scooping up the cable provider after getting last-minute competition from French billionaire Patrick Drahi.
Charter will pay $195.71 a share — 14% above Time Warner Cable’s May 22 close — with Time Warner shareholders getting the choice of $100 and $115 in cash and the remainder in its own stock, according to a statement Tuesday. Bright House Networks, a smaller cable company that Charter has previously agreed to buy, will also be merged into the combined entity.
Charter, the fourth-biggest U.S. cable company, is clinching a deal with No. 2 Time Warner Cable after its early 2014 bid was rejected and Comcast jumped in with a competing offer. Charter got another shot when regulatory scrutiny caused the Comcast deal to fall apart in April and then faced competition last week from Mr. Drahi’s Altice SA, which was said to have held merger talks with Time Warner Cable.
