Sharethrough research reveals the science of native ads
Over the last 12 months, Sharethrough, in partnership with Nielsen Neuro, have been running a research project looking at how native ads perform using neuroscience techniques – to see how exactly a user reacts to a native format at a “brain level”.
The top line findings that were revealed from this research include:
- Native ads receive more attention than banner ads (roughly double)
- Banner ads don’t capture attention, even when placed in the feed
- In-feed native ads are read, not just seen
- Longer headlines allow for more storytelling and drive higher engagement
