Brief: Collective, a leading media and technology solutions
company for online display advertising, this year added universal engagement
reporting capabilities to its feature set. The new features enable advertisers
and agencies to measure and report on user engagement for every display ad, not
just the small fraction served by rich media companies.
Just because an ad isn’t clicked, doesn’t mean it’s not effective, it just
means you are using the wrong metric. Today 99.92% of online ads don’t get
clicked, so standardizing core metrics beyond click-through rate give
advertisers a clearer understanding of effectiveness on all ad impressions This
is a big win for advertisers and agencies who in the past could only get
engagement data for a very small portion of their media buy. Traditionally,
online advertising platforms have limited reporting metrics to impressions
served and click-through rates achieved. With Collective’s AMP platform, users
can now measure ad effectiveness based on exposure time and mouse-over
activity. It is also the only platform that can assess whether an ad is
within the viewable portion of a user’s screen.
"Being able to look at performance beyond just a CTR is the only way to
advance the online industry forward,” said Mike Turcotte, VP, Media Director at
Zenith Media. “With fewer overall people clicking, and less frequently, moving
into user engagement metrics after exposure brings the true value of advanced
targeting and can help justify the premiums associated with it. Layering
in engagement reporting with reach/frequency will help planners optimize into a
value-based media buy".
