A common use case is for study participants to browse freely on Facebook or Youtube for about three minutes. The In Context software will make sure that participants naturally come into contact with the tested ads and products. Afterwards, participants are either brought to a regular ad effectiveness survey. Alternatively or additionally to this, the testers are asked to select Products in our Shopping Environments (Amazon, for example). Another use case of our Amazon Environments is that product and product variations along with positioning can be tested.

In a nutshell, you can only judge a Facebook advertisement if you see it on Facebook (i.e. ‘in context’). This has technical and psychological reasons; on one hand, the interaction and playback properties of the ad formats are part of the advertising experience. The YouTube “Skip” button and the auto-play videos in the Facebook Newsfeed are well-known examples. In contrast, Instagram’s “Stories” and “Tagged Products” offers completely new presentation and interaction options.

In addition, surfing on platforms such as YouTube or Instagram is associated with certain expectations and goals. A creative design that takes into account the user’s particular mode of reception can greatly benefit from the presentation and affiliation with the platform’s context. If a creative execution does not connect with the context in which it is shown, the ad is at risk of being perceived as misplaced and as a disturbance and may ultimately harm the brand and the user’s experience of the media platform.

One competitive approach is to play the to-be-tested creations in small scale batches on platforms like Facebook or Youtube and to attempt to re-engage with the respondents in an online panel to conduct a questionnaire. This approach is strongly tied to the respective media platforms, while our approach is time-efficient and allows comparisons across all major media platforms.

Furthermore, more brands and media have decided to limit experimentation with live users and the sharing of their user data. Instead, they choose focused studies with informed study participants. Our closed up test environments have no access to personal data and minimize the risk of drafts being shared and distributed. Our approach is faster, platform-independent as well as cross-platform, maximizing data security for the participants and the brand.

Our data output is very versatile and allows our customers to benchmark with all their current live campaign data. The most important ad performance metric we provide is the view retention (also known as “visible playtime”). This value is also passed on directly to the subsequent follow-up survey. The survey can thus take into account whether the advertised product has become visible in the video and specifically ask the participants why they skipped or scrolled away. Viewer retention (moment of skip) data is also a valuable insight to inform the creative design optimization process.
