Q1 2012 video views skyrocket
Consumers
may appreciate successful TV ad campaigns with interesting creative,
but many still treat a commercial break as a great time to grab a snack
or do some other quick chore away from the screen. Online, however, a
video ad that pleases is one to be shared socially—and research
indicates consumers are doing just that, and watching such ads more than
ever before.
According to data released in April from social video measurement firm Visible Measures, views of social video ads served to English-speaking audiences increased to almost 1.33 billion in Q1 of this year, a 78% rise over Q4 2011. The measurement company noted that Q1 is typically a busy time of year for video ads shared socially, as many internet users turn online to find—and spread the word about—their favorite Super Bowl commercials. But this year’s Q1 results were also 72% better than the same period in 2011, indicating a real rise in social video ad viewership.
The automotive industry, a big spender on offline commercials
(including those Super Bowl ads), saw the most social video views during
the first part of this year, followed by those video ads related to
community and activism at a fairly distant second.
Video is the fastest-growing ad format online, and social sharing capabilities can only help that growth by allowing users to act as curators and promoters, passing appealing videos to a larger and larger audience of network connections. eMarketer estimates US advertisers will spend $3.1 billion this year on video ads, up from $2 billion in 2011. By 2016, $9.3 billion in online ad spending will go toward video.-eMarketer
