- 14. RUBICON PROJECT HIGH LEVEL DEEPER DIVE BEST PRACTICE “Watch video, See how, Try now”, and other direct call to ac9on approaches Call To AcPon increase engagement by 40%. User’s ac9on rate drops off significantly when presented with more than three calls to ac9on. 37% of ac9ons taken by users are non-‐immediate (e.g. “Email this to me, Email to Non Immediate Calls To a friend, Send me a text reminder”), and others generate clicks and long tail AcPon engagement, especially for ads with offers or informa9on about a product or service. Half of video view 9mes were 16 seconds, and the average video view 9me across Videos < 30 Seconds all campaigns was 30 seconds. Adver9sers need to capture a user’s aeen9on and deliver key messages within the first 16 seconds of their video clip. Rich media aeracts aeen9on, but it has a nega9ve effect when done to excess. The combina9on of a clear banner teaser such as “Watch video, See how, or Try Banner Teaser & Moderate now”, with a minimalist, one-‐9me anima9on of text and image, or an animated AnimaPon video thumbnail teaser aeracts the aeen9on of users without compromising their experience. Geo-‐targe9ng and dynamically adap9ng ad crea9ve to the user’s loca9on (e.g. LocaPon, LocaPon, LocaPon automa9cally showing driving direc9ons or different product offers by loca9on) increased click-‐through engagement by 27 percent. Adhesion are a good way to implement a 9ered approach to your ad products. Adhesion Units Adhesion can command with 2-‐3x CPMs with 2-‐3x CTR performance. Mobile Marketing Association #MMAF2013
