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.
