Online ads work for branding

Yahoo! and Dynamic Logic have released today the results of a research that fturther demonstrate that online advertising can provide significant branding benefits to advertisers across all key branding metrics. In addition, the research illustrates that advertising on Yahoo! performed better in general in raising awareness than online advertising. Wenda Harris Millard, chief sales officer, Yahoo! comments:

“Historically, the conventional wisdom in the industry is that the primary role of Internet advertising was to drive immediate action online by the consumer, whereas the branding benefits have not been as well recognized or understood as the direct marketing advantages. This research shows that online advertising provides significant brand lift across all of the key metrics, further underscoring that online advertising should be an important component of every branding campaign and can be used stand-alone or as a complement to other forms of media.”
