2024 Visibility Perceptions in Advertising

Methodology

This quantitative research study was conducted online among a total of 200 business decision-makers in late 2023, with the interviews with high-level marketing communication executives equally divided among advertisers and advertising agencies. Respondents were screened to represent a range of senior titles including C-Suite, EVP, VP, Director and Manager-level employees.

Advertiser respondents were specifically screened to work at organizations with annual media spending over $50 million on B2C advertising; qualifying respondents reported being personally responsible for at least $15 million of spending and that multi-platform video advertising was a meaningful part of the total spending. Respondents were key influencers/final decision-makers on areas such as managing/allocating ad budget, messaging and content strategy, casting, and/or approving final advertising.

Agency respondents were screened to ensure their largest B2C account had spending over $15M annually on B2C advertising, and multi-platform video advertising was a meaningful part of the total ad spend. Qualified respondents were key influencers/final decision makers for areas such as account management, message strategy, casting or creative development.

The More Than a Number Report is an advanced reporting guide for journalists and advocates to accompany our Doubly Victimized Guide. It reflects that many more reporters are now covering the homicides of transgender people in the U.S. but there is still a lot of work to do to improve coverage. The biggest hurdle, in this report’s thesis, is to shift from the “deadliest year ever” headlines into a more accurate and respectful framing of lives lost.
