2/16/2012 Rich Media Best Practices
• Establish clear campaign goals
• What are your metrics for success?
• Engagement, CTR/Traffic, Social Sharing, App Downloads, etc
• Integrate Mobile into the larger, holistic campaign
• Determine which percentage of budget should be divided between
different types of rich media, static media, video, etc
• Tracking
• Mobile Tracking & Analytics are still fragmented; ensure that
tracking within the rich media unit are built into the creative so that
you can optimize against what is performing best
• Align creative and media planning to produce the most unified
tracking scenarios

2/16/2012 Rich Media Best Practices
• Produce a unique ad that offers an engaging experience; Mobile
Optimized Brand Sites are no longer central to a mobile ad campaign
• Context: Time; place; immediate relevancy can be executed through
mini-games; video; advanced animation; real-time data feeds
• KISS: Keep It Simple Stupid!
• There are myriad options available to a rich media marketer so it
can be easy and tempting to overcomplicate the media with fancy
bells and whistles
• Make sure that CTA’s are clear, concise and that the message does
not overshadow the small “pallet” of the mobile device

Despite better tech, better ads, MORE ads, bigger marketers and bigger campaigns, year over year, metrics have remained stable. Why? Creative matters, and marketers need to pay more attention.
We’ve done a lot of work tracing the adoption of new media, including online and video, and can certainly vouch for the existence of a “novelty factor” in any of these media. Over time, results do tend to stabilize and even decline a bit as they regress to the mean. Mobile is now approaching that point in its maturity.
LH side brand placement. Mobile ads are generally displayed above the content in a leaderboard format, which takes advantage of how viewers tend to look at the top left of the screen initially. The left-side placement is likely a reason why respondents who only briefly glimpse at the creative can still recall seeing an ad for the specific brand. Nearly two-thirds of the bottom-performing mobile campaigns do not adhere to this design.Strong call to action. Campaigns with the strongest performance on measures of purchase/behavior intent often tend to include a call-to-action, with many offering an incentive. Offering something “tangible,” such as a free app or incentive (e.g., sweepstake, coupon), is advantageous for mobile campaigns.Clear branding. Many of the trends we observe in the bottom 20% of mobile campaigns are the same ones that lead their online counterparts to falter. Both mobile and online campaigns with a weak brand presence can be hampered in their attempts to build brand awareness. The absence of clear branding on each frame within a creative sequence is a common problem among mobile campaigns that perform poorly on brand awareness and mobile ad awareness metrics.
Low-involvement requires less awareness-building because people are able to recognize the products from having seen them in the stores and recognizing their packaging. They don’t have to try as hard and are able to focus on moving persuasion metrics. Because of this, one-frame creative can work to their advantage because it’s so straightforward.
Some financial services brands rely on their logos too much for branding (and not enough on using the full brand name), so awareness can suffer comparatively in that category. They also don’t have the advantage of having a physical product to create recognition.Auto leads on message association – we see this in online results as well. Auto brands tend to have consistent, recognizable taglines,
CPG campaigns may be able to utilize the smaller ad size more efficiently by showing only a brand logo, product shot and simple messaging and call-to-action. Where CPG goes wrong is by doing too much – they can often be at their best when simplest. While they can sometimes take advantage of recognizable packaging or branding, less recognizable brands suffer when the branding is only on the product itself – a wine bottle may not be enough for someone to recognize your particular label. Mobile overall does better among women, but we see this is especially true for CPG campaigns.
Best Clear and distinct branding that resembles product branding Clear call to action Incentive that is immediately accessible via mobile deviceWorstFirst frame lacks branding except product Cluttered copy Branding only present on product shot
Financial services suffer from a lack of tangible product, and occasionally brands try to change up the creative by not including the brand name and instead just using a logo. Sometimes brands will also try to use symbols for their products, like credit cards, or text books for student loans. But trying to transform a banking product into a physical one – which we see can lead to success with CPG – is still difficult when your product (a credit card) looks relatively similar to other brands’ products, especially if you fall prey to only branding the card and none of the rest of the creative.
Best Consistent branding Clear call to action on second frameWorst Only branded with colors and logo – too indistinct No call-to-action
We see discrepencies arise in online when the parent brand and model brands compete for attention and awareness. In mobile, this is actually an advantage, because the space is so small, that to keep the creative readable, both the parent brand and model brand have to be prominently featured. Recognizable parent brands – and brand name is almost always included. Don’t necessarily benefit from including product shot – confusing if cropped, and branding is typically strong enough to carry the ad without a product shot. So, like CPG, a simple ad format can work well.
