Rich media’s creative and interactive features convey the drama and excitement of entertainment advertisers’ products and drive increased interaction rates and time spent with the brand, according to PointRoll’s “2007 Entertainment Performance Analysis” report, writes MarketingCharts.

    • Build anticipation for a DVD release.
    • Increase tune-in and ratings for new and returning television series.
    • Create a rush to buy the latest video game.
  • Best-performing sites to run entertainment rich media campaigns: It’s easy to assume that entertainment ads perform best on entertainment sites, but some of the best metrics are achieved by diversifying placements and expanding to other sites.
