Does Emerging Media Work For Advertising?

There was recently a Center for Media Research brief that came out which detailed the effectiveness of emerging media for advertisers. You can read the detail here by looking at the August 22 brief, but some of the basics that I found to be important are also below:

WHO ARE THEY?
9% of U.S. adults belong in the "Ads on Emerging Media Vehicles" segment, the group of consumers who say they are most interested in advertising delivered via such non-traditional media as mobile devices and product placement in video games, movies and in TV shows

WHAT DO THEY WANT?
Ads delivered via mass media are preferred by 17% of U.S. adults, and an additional 17% of consumers are most interested in ads delivered in print. 32% of U.S. all adults are either disinterested in advertising delivered by any medium or they have not been exposed to a particular ad platform.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
The 9% of U.S. adults who prefer "Ads on Emerging Media Vehicles" are far more likely than the average adult to agree with the following statements.
- A celebrity endorsement may influence me to consider or buy a product.
- I'm always one of the first of my friends to try new products or services.
- I follow the latest trends and fashions.
- Brand name is the best indication of quality.

WHAT DO I DO ABOUT IT?
Consumers, according to their interest in advertising across different media, fall into one of six segments:
- Ads on Emerging Media Vehicles: Most interested in ads delivered through non-traditional media including mobile devices and product placement in movies, TV shows, and in video games.

- Ads on the Road: Most interested in advertising on billboards, taxis, buses and trains, at bus stops and train stations, and atop taxicabs.

- Ads in Mass Media: Advertising delivered through magazines and electronic media such as TV, radio, and the Internet appeals the most to this segment.

- Ads on Paper: Most interested in advertising delivered through print, which they find informative, relaxing and/or inspirational.

- Ads at Events: Displayed at sports or entertainment events and through product placement in movies and TV shows.

- Ad Adverse: Most likely either to be not interested in or to have not been exposed to advertising in TV, radio, newspapers, magazines and the Internet.
