With a Today Media Lift report we can measure the impact your digital campaign is having when it comes to influencing peoples’ online behavior. By studying and analyzing results, we can measure the effectiveness of your campaign.
L I F T — T H E U LT I M AT E R O I R E P O R T I N G T O O L • We are able to segment the online audience into two groups:
- Group A; those who saw your ads - Group B; those who did not see your ads
• For 90 days, we will track impressions, clicks, hovers and view-throughs
• After 90 days, we are able to analyze the results
• We will compare the behavior of the two groups – the difference between visit rates gives us Lift; a higher Lift represents a higher campaign effectiveness and stronger ROI

Pre-Roll Video increases brand recall and has a positive impact on campaigns run across all devices. Well produced video ads, placed in front of in-demand online video content, helps drive intent to purchase and higher click through rates compared to other types of display advertising.
Like display ads, Pre-Roll Video campaigns can target audiences based on: • Behavior • Demographics • Geography
• Content
Delivery can be managed to control frequency and time of day that ads are played.
Best Practices • Get your message out in the first 5 seconds
• Avoid running traditional 30 second ads in pre roll
• Cut the fat and avoid content that doesn’t help drive the click
• Tailor your landing page to answer the interest that’s been piqued by your video
V I D E O P R E - R O L L
According to Forbes, 80% of internet users recall a video ad viewed in the past 30 days.”

C O N N E C T E D T VTake Advantage of the Shift to CTV74% of US households now have a Connected TV device – whether by stick, dongle, puck, cube or built in Smart TV capabilities — and every quarter a million more households cut their cable/Fios cord and move to CTV.

Mobile Ad CopyAds with 4 words or less get 28% more clicks on average. It is even more pronounced in the tech industry.
Less Copy = More Clicks
In general, ads with a strong call to action perform better than ads with weak calls or no call at all. A call to action is particularly influential in the entertainment industry.
Mobile Ad DesignThe fewer colors you have in an ad the better. Try to use 3 colors or less. Keep the look simple.
Animated ads are more eye-catching. That’s why we use HTML 5 rich media ads to generate 10-15% more clicks than static banners ads.
