• Household relevancy is more important than ever: 63% say they pay more attention to ads when they are personalized to the needs of their households. The top categories for household targeting are CPG/grocery (preferred by 83% of consumers), travel (63%), autos (60%).
• TV is the channel that influences purchase behavior: 55% of consumers say an ad on TV or streaming TV led them to discover a new product for their household.
• Advertising exhaustion is real: 73% of consumers say they see too many ads and 78% are annoyed when brands over message them.
• The best digital ad experiences start with relevancy: Asked to rate various ad experiences, 66% said they like personalization for the needs of their households, and 65% like personalization for their individual needs.
• Focus on convenience: With consumers more concerned about privacy and identity, there must be a fair value exchange from advertisers for first-party data, and what consumers want is convenience in the form of free shipping (38%) and loyalty programs (37%).
