Taykey Real-Time Trend Report: Ads Tied to Entertainment Topics Performed Up to 11x Better Than Industry Average in Q4
New York, February 6, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Taykey, the leading provider of real-time marketing insights and technology, today announced the availability of a new Real-Time Trend Report, an insights-based report that examines how ad campaigns performed when placed against popular trends. This edition of the report revealed that ads tied to movie, TV and shopping trends in the last quarter of 2014 saw engagement rise more than 400% above industry averages.
Movie trends, in particular, saw exceptional performance in Q4, delivering 148% higher engagement rates over industry benchmarks. This was likely the result of the diversity of movie trends in Q4, including hugely popular premieres for Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 and the final installment of The Hobbit trilogy. Two trend sub-categories also dominated online attention and drove higher impressions: movie trailers and news for future releases, including Avengers, Star Wars, Batman and X-Men; and award show nominations and year-end best-of lists. Combined, these trends resulted in notable performance increases for ads placed alongside them.
Key Facts
