Digital advertising innovator Sublime Skinz introduces higher viewability measures to ensure online campaigns provide maximum impact, insight, and ROI for brands
London, UK: Sublime Skinz, a leading global provider of skin-based advertising, has today announced it has introduced a suite of new viewability metrics to provide clients with optimal transparency and results.
The new measures address two core aspects of online viewability: time and quality. Based on the IAB-MRC standards, which consider an ad to be viewable if 50% of its surface is in view for at least one second (30% for larger ad units such as skins), Sublime Skinz has extended this measure to two, three, four or five seconds — addressing concerns by brands such as Shell and Unilever that metrics need to be improved.
The second measure utilises PayLoad Viewability, a new concept developed by Sublime Skinz, to accurately gauge the exposure of both the header and entire ad skin. By focusing on useful creative elements, such as logos, visuals, and baselines, the metric will help brands understand if users have been exposed to the most important elements of an ad. The data produced will be used to form real-time optimisation parameters for campaigns, and made available to brands as an evaluation tool.
Advertisers will consequently have access to the average display length of their impressions and a comparative viewing score based on every campaign run by Sublime Skinz across its worldwide network of more than 3,000 websites.
Lisa Menaldo, Managing Director of Sublime Skinz UK, commented: “As viewability becomes an ever-more important performance metric for advertisers, we are keen to provide maximum assurance that ads will be visible and impactful. By increasing viewability beyond the IAB standards, advertisers can better understand when their ads are visible. The new PayLoad Viewability measures only the ‘useful space’ in the ad, allowing advertisers to effectively measure their campaigns, as well as optimising real-time and future performance.”
