About the session
Getting emotional about ad effectiveness:
Why ads work harder in some shows than others
We watch what we watch because it moves us. Whether a show makes us laugh or cry, thrills us, shocks us, or simply makes us feel that all is well in the world, it must engage the emotions of its audience. After extended research, we can now quantify the extent to which the unique emotional environment created by every single show delivers measurably different results for advertisers and their specific creative executions. The same ad aired in different – even very similar – shows with similar audiences will deliver different results in terms of purchase intent, brand affinity and other measures of ad receptivity.
Warner Bros. will be actively leveraging emotional context and ad optimization as part of its Upfront proposition this year and its service model for advertisers going forward. Long-time conference advisory board members Theresa Pepe (Warner Bros.) and Mike Bloxham (Magid) team up to reveal what this kind of approach means for advertisers and media owners alike.
