  The computing powerof today’s smartphones is vast, and consumers are responding to the instant access that they provide. Brands are also responding with increasingly comprehensive mobile advertising strategies, while smart marketers are managing their mobile investment as closely as their TV and digital spend.

  Banners: Mobile vs. desktop Mobilebanners do a better job of breaking through when it comes to ad recognition and message recall compared to desktop banners. We believe that the stronger breakthrough may be a result of the immediacy and intimacy of mobile.This in addition to the fact that mobile banners tend to take up a larger share of the screen and there is less clutter on the screen. While breakthrough isn’t an issue, we do find that branding, likeability, credibility, how Mobile banners do a better job of breaking through when it comes to ad recognition and message recall compared to desktop banners. easy they are to understand and their impact on purchase intent and brand interest is weaker than for desktop. The implication is that because mobile is a relatively new format, advertisers still have a lot to learn in terms of optimizing advertising assets for smartphones and tablets. We know that mobile is key when it comes to targeting the Millennial market, as more than 40% of this group researched their last purchase using a smartphone. Over 40% of millennials researched their last purchase on a smartphone. Again, we hypothesize that it’s because it is a new format and there is still much to learn about how to make assets more engaging and how to deliver messages more coherently on a smaller screen. We have found that text needs to minimized and visuals, especially pack shots, should be played up for mobile banners. Short, clear messaging and strongly branded visuals are key. https://www.thinkwithgoogle.com/intl/en-dk/research-study/consumer-barometer-explore-our-new-mobile-trends-and-audience-insights/ US banners: Mobile vs. desktop -20% -10% +10% +20% Top 40% Top 20% Percentile 50 Bottom 40% Bottom 20% Aided brand recall Recall message Ad recognition

  Video: Mobile vs. desktop Overall,video ads perform better when viewed on mobile than on desktop in terms of breakthrough. Brand recall for video ads viewed on mobile is about the same as it is for desktop, while message recall and ad recognition are both higher for mobile. Again, we think that this is due to their share of screen and the nature of the more intimate and immediate mobile experience. Despite stronger breakthrough, however, the viewer’s response to video ads viewed on mobile is weaker than it is to video ads viewed on desktop, especially in terms of likeability. There is that the smaller screen format should be taken into consideration more when they are being developed. Consider context as well because many mobile videos are played without sound.

  Summary What does thismean for brands? We know that your ads need to breakthrough and that if they do not, it doesn’t matter how well the ad does in forced exposure tests. The key is to make shorter video ads for mobile and to optimize these by making them more enjoyable, relevant and engaging, while telling your individual brand story. It is also important to learn how to make the best use of the smaller screen for both banner and video ads, where there are greater challenges in terms of showing recognizable package shots or branded products in use.
