Neustar’s PlatformOne Provides Non-Intuitive Insights to Better Identify Customers
(PRWEB) January 30, 2015 -- Sunday's big game is the most watched sporting event of the year, and big brands have spent $2.91 billion in advertising to reach fans over the past decade.
Now over 75 percent of advertisers release their content prior to game day to maximize their footprint, and over 50 percent of fans watch those ads before the big day. Brands used to focus on creative to make that expensive 30-second spot really sticky for consumers. Now the focus is on an integrated strategy that begins weeks prior and actually ends on Monday when fans vote on the best ad.
But who exactly are these fans and which brands battle for their bucks? Non-intuitive insights about a consumer’s drink, hobby, music, sport and TV show preferences can make the winning play for an advertiser.
