Importance of Long Term Advertising 

Emerging insights into the world of digital marketing talk about the need to ascertain long term impact over quick transactional campaign measurement. 

A recent report by Meta emphasizes the importance of long term advertising. Les Binet, a leading advocate of effectiveness commented as follows:

‍

New research from Meta highlights the importance of long term advertising effects. Econometric analysis of over 3,500 campaigns reveals that 60% of the payback comes from long term effects, and only 40% from the short term.

This means that short term measurement systems (which include most digital attribution models) probably underestimate ROI by a factor of ~2.5.” You can see a video sharing the details about the report here.

Les Binet also commented that video is particularly effective. Considering the case for long term advising and the effectiveness of video, a sustained effort is important. In our own admission we have witnessed marketers changing from an ad hoc approach to video marketing into one that is planned and long term.
