ADVERTISING & BRANDS
Branded content is increasingly and effectively being used to combat ad skipping – and measurement is part of the arsenal. "Because today’s media environment delivers ‘constant content contact,’ consumers work to avoid intrusive traditional advertising," Gary Warech, SVP, branded entertainment & sports at comScore, tells Cynopsis. "However, they have proven willing to consume branded content at ever-increasing rates. As ad-blockers, DVR and other technologies make skipping advertisements easier, in-content brand integrations – engaging and capturing viewer’s attention are increasingly critical and can be measured for a full accounting of media value and brand impact.” For insights and case studies on the hot topic, register for the June 15 Cynopsis webinar, Winning at Producing & Selling Sponsored Content: http://www.cynopsis.com/webinar/winning-producing-selling-sponsored-content/

We wanted an agency partner that understood our brand and our audience.
