Speed of Social Video Sharing Almost Doubles in 12 Months

(PRWEB) May 22, 2014 -- The number of shares the average brand video attracts online in its first three days of launch has almost doubled in 12 months.

That’s according to new research by marketing technology company Unruly into the lifecycle of a viral video. Unruly’s Social Diffusion Curve, which measures the speed of social diffusion for the top 4,000 videos across the social web, was first launched in April last year and found that a quarter of the average online branded video’s shares occur in the first three days of its launch.

A year later, that number has almost doubled to 42%, making the first few days even more crucial for marketers hoping to make their ads the talk of the web. The average number of shares on the day following launch, when the most shares usually happen, has also almost doubled from 10% to 18% over the last 12 months, while shares in the first week have also risen from 37% to 65%.

Using real-time data collected by cloud-based platform Unruly Analytics™, the analysis showed that:

To help marketers cope with the speed of social and maximize the viral peak, Unruly has launched a new skippable pre-roll format in Unruly Activate™, the video distribution platform that engages 1.17 billion viewers across the Open Web.

With 74.1% of video views now happening outside of YouTube and its player (source: comScore Video Metrix, January 2014), Unruly’s in-stream format delivers cost-efficient, mass reach across the Open Web in the crucial kick-off phase following campaign launch. The format also marks Unruly’s entry into the programmatic ecosystem. Integrations with 60+ Data Management Platforms offer online and offline behavioral targeting and the unit features prominent sharing and branding to lift social and brand metrics.

Scott Button, founder and Group CEO of Unruly, said: “Using paid distribution and real-time programmatic targeting across the Open Web brands can maximize the sharing peak and slow the rate of viral decay in order to deliver maximum earned media and viewer advocacy on their video campaigns. Unlike standard pre-roll formats, in-stream skippables keep the users in control, as users decide whether or not they want to view the ad. Advertisers only pay when viewers have finished watching the video or at 30 seconds.”

Button added: “As brands place more emphasis on their digital video strategy, they are seeking a range of formats to engage audiences across multiple devices. Our highly-targeted in-stream skippables format complements the engaging in-page click-to-play format and is proving popular with advertisers looking to score big at the World Cup. With so many shares now happening in the first three days, in-stream skippables can drive massive awareness and help kick-start a viral cascade in a short space of time.”
