Consumer Ad Receptiveness Apathy, Evasion and Engagement

Mark Mulligan

September 2019

On-demand audiences expect to be able to control their digital experiences, and many have opted for the ad-free oases of streaming subscriptions. While traditional media might be losing audience share it is not giving up the fight, instead investing heavily in ad tech that improves targeting and advertiser agility. However, the underlying problem is that the majority of audiences either evade or ignore ads. Consumer ad receptivity should not be taken for granted, and advertisers need to work harder than ever to ensure they are targeting the valuable audiences that do engage with ads ,rather than wasting spend on those that do not.
