Branded Content Scores Better Than Pre-Roll

Digital branded content has better recall than pre-roll advertising, reports a Nielsen study.

Nielsen analysis says branded content generated an average of 86% brand recall among viewers, compared with 65% from the pre-roll ad.
Examples include 2016 Webby winner AirBNB: Love Is Welcome Here and Jimmy Fallon's teaming with GE.

In addition, the lift in brand perceptions was higher for branded content than pre-roll across other key performance indicators -- affinity, purchase intent and recommendation intent.

For example, affinity for branded entertainment averages 28% and 18% for pre-roll; purchase intent, 14% for branded content; 11% for pre-roll; and recommendation intent score 20% for branded content and 16% for pre-roll.

Nielsen also notes branded content impact on future TV-video episodes is positive -- a 40% score for those who will “probably will” or “definitely will” when it comes to intent to view.

Brand content marketers that work with publishers in a partnership saw a brand lift that was 50% higher on average than those marketers that distributed branded content on their own.

Nielsen analysis came from consumer reactions to more than 100 pieces of branded content.
