What Is Ad Viewability and how is it Affecting Your Ad Campaign's Performance?

Any brand attempting to reach out to consumers in today's increasingly competitive and fragmented media landscape must improve and re-evaluate their advertisements with a focus on brand metrics such as awareness, and ad viewability. Recently, Infectious Media published an infographic that found approximately 54% of all advertising creative goes unseen - and if customers aren't viewing your marketing media - you're unlikely to see positive results from your campaign.

There are various reasons why impressions go unseen - as just because a company places an ad, doesn't mean that people will see it. For instance:

The viewer may click onto another page before the advertisement loads
The advertisement may load on a place outside of the viewer's browser window
Viewers access the page on a mobile device for which the content is not optimized

The historically low rates of viewability event in online media today is one of the many reasons why the marketing industry has been working to establish a standard metric for viewable impressions. Experts suggest that being able to optimize ad viewability could deliver as much as a 50% uplift in seen ads.
