Environment Drives Tangible Results

Premium (DCN) Publishers drive 67% higher brand lift overall, providing definitive proof that premium drives performance.

Publishers must arm themselves with this information to demonstrate their true value to advertisers and remind them of the risk they run when they don’t know where they’re being seen.

1 There is proof that premium publishers drive premium performance for brands.

The Halo Effect speaks to consumer recognition and the value of premium content. While premium publishers also provide higher viewability, the context of a clean, well-lit environment and association with the publisher brand are the primary drivers of advertiser brand lift.

2 The value of premium comes from the halo effect of the contextual environment in which ads are seen.

The largest brand advertisers focus most of their energy on long-term brand-building effects, with favorability and consideration key among these. There’s an opportunity to prove to these advertisers in CPG, Auto, Telecom, etc. how your environment is beneficial in helping meet their advertising objectives.

3 Premium content is especially good at changing how consumers think and feel about brands.
