  • How Advertisers Can Realize the Promise of QR Codes

    (At the end of the article, watch a video interview with Lance Wolder and Will Richmond, Editor and Publisher of VideoNuze.)

    As the advertising industry shifts from traditional linear TV to streaming, interactive ads have emerged as a novel way to cut through the clutter, leveraging the powerful personalization capabilities of Connected TV. Notably, QR codes have been gaining attention as a tool to drive measurable actions in ads. However, despite the buzz, their real-world impact remains limited. This isn’t just a QR code dilemma; it's a clarion call for a strategic shift.

    Here's the thing: QR codes are known to all, yet scanned by few. The numbers don’t lie – while consumer awareness is through the roof, engagement rates have some catching up to do. It's a classic case of great potential, missed execution. Recent studies from Origin, LoopMe, and FlowCode shed light on the current state of QR code engagement. 95% of consumers are familiar with the concept of QR codes however a study from Brightline found a mere 0.02% of users scan QR codes in video ads.

  • [VIDEO] Why CTV’s March to Full-Funnel/Lower-Funnel and Shoppable TV is Inevitable

    The following video was recorded at VideoNuze’s fourth annual Connected TV Advertising Summit virtual on June 8, 2023.

    Why CTV’s March to Full-Funnel/Lower-Funnel and Shoppable TV is Inevitable
    In 2023 the vast majority of CTV ads will be bought with upper-funnel KPIs, as TV ad buyers seek to replace GRPs lost due to traditional TV’s decline and cord-cutting. With a $70 billion TV ad market in the U.S. alone, the shift from linear TV to CTV has lots of runway ahead. But more strategically significant are myriad initiatives that are transforming CTV into a full-funnel/lower-funnel channel. In an era when the importance of first-party data is rapidly increasing, engaging viewers on their TVs will soon become table stakes. In this session, learn how CTV is going to create a multibillion-dollar bonanza in shoppable TV, as well as new frontiers in content creation and personalization.
