Fulgoni: “In my mind, the two strategies differ fundamentally in how they view ‘time to purchase’. Direct response ads aim at closing a sale or a transaction right here and now. Branding, on the other hand, means investing ad money in building brand equity, which is to say, establishing a brand’s value proposition in the minds of consumers. The return from that investment is probably not going to occur immediately. It may take weeks, months or even years. … At comScore, we try to do our part. For example, we’ve now conducted hundreds of online advertising effectiveness studies, a good portion of them focused on measuring branding effects. We’ve demonstrated the ability of display campaigns to increase brand awareness, brand favorability, purchase intent and sales – both online and offline. We’ve shown that display campaigns – whether consisting of banners, rich media or video formats – set up the consumer to be more receptive to search advertising.“
