the click is dead!
We knew this, but its great that our friends at Starcom have done research into this and we can qoute a respectable media agency rather then some creative agency people….
Starcom, Tacoda and comScore’s “Natural Born Clickers†findings suggest “the click is dead†as go-to measurement of effectiveness for brand-building display advertising campaign
“Further preliminary Starcom data suggests no correlation between display ad clicks and brand metrics, and show no connection between measured attitude towards a brand and the number of times an ad for that brand was clicked. The research presentation suggests that when digital campaigns have a branding objective, optimizing for high click rates does not necessarily improve campaign performance.”
