New Study Indicates Native Advertising Outperforms Other Channels at Boosting Mid-Funnel KPIs

Top, Global Brands Find Success on Taboola Through Brand Lift Campaigns

Taboola, a global leader in powering recommendations for the open web, helping people discover things they may like, announced the results of independent studies conducted in conjunction with Kantar, the world’s leading data, insights and consulting company.

Brands that are looking to reach consumers at a massive scale often turn to social media, which has inherent risk in brand safety and pose significant risks. According to recent research, 61% of consumers are less likely to purchase or use a brand again if they see it advertised alongside harmful content. By ensuring ads run on trusted publisher sites, brands can control the environments where ads run.

Over a two-year period, Taboola aggregated a series of studies, conducted by Kantar, with about 20 top, global brands across 11 verticals, including personal finance, technology, travel, fashion and entertainment. These brands operate across the U.S., Europe and Latin America. Results show the effects of native ads on various marketing objectives, such as building brand awareness, consideration, brand favorability and message association.
