What’s inside

Four findings every media plan should know

From ad avoidance to sequencing, the study shows where In-Content Ads work hardest — and how to get the most from them.

01

Why in-content

Traditional ads are easy to ignore. What ICAs are, and why viewers want brands to show up differently.

02

Better together

Paired with video, ICAs lift message retention, cultural relevance and premium perception.

03

Reach the tuned-out

ICAs break through among ad avoiders — and younger viewers prefer them.

04

The formula

Quality content and the right sequence make ICAs work even harder.

“It wasn’t a commercial, it was part of the show.”
