    Advertising formats (from left to right): Medium Rectangle above a ReCAPTCHA; Medium Rectangle with a display duration of 11 seconds; CaptchaAd commercial

    Brand recognition

    The study proves, 72 percentage out of the test persons, who solved a CaptchaAd, could name the brands correctly, which where shown in the  commercials before. Therefore the advertising impact improved by over 420 percent in comparison to the established advertising form, the Rectangles, where only 17 percent managed to do so. Compared to conventional reCAPTCHAs combined with commercials, CaptchaAds boosted the impact even up to 10,3 times. ReCAPTCHAa now only reach a 7 percent hit rate.

In addition to the brand 52 percent of the test persons did not only determine the brand name correct but also the specific product. Thus CaptchaAd comes with an obvious overall higher advertising impact in terms of brand and product cognition, which outmans the other online advertising forms significantly.

  • Compared effectivity analysis of PreRoll-Ads, TrueView-Ads and CaptchaAds

    Key Findings

    • when spending the same budget then CaptchaAds are 3,4-times more efficient than PreRoll-Ads.
    • CaptchaAds sind bei gleichem Budget 1,25-times effizienter als TrueView-Ads.
    • the acceptance parameter of a CaptchAd is identical with the one of a PreRoll-Ad.

    Study CaptchaAd 2013

    The study realized in june 2013 through the academy Fresenius Köln in cooperation with MITSUBISHI MOTORS Germany could show that  CaptchaAds have a 3,4-times higher advertising impact than PreRoll-Ads.

    Study thinkinsights with Google 2012

    TrueView-Ads offer users the possibility of skipping ads.  Advertiser only pay fully watched videos.

    Thinkinsights made a study in 2012 in cooperation with Google regarding Top-of-Mind Awareness (TOMA) for TrueView-Ads and PreRoll-Ads. This shows that TrueView-Ads have a 2,8-times higher advertising impact than PreRoll-Ads.

    Effectivity analysis

    Trough a Meta-Analyse of both studies, an effectivity analysis of all three advertising formats can be executed. In oder to achieve an advertising impact of 1.000 CaptchaAd-Impressions it must be replaced at least either by 3.400 PreRoll-Impressions or 1.250 TrueView-Impressions.

    In monetary units: If we suppose a PreRoll-TKP of 15€ one needs 3.400 x 0,015€ = 51,00€ to invest in order to achieve the advertising impact of 1000 CaptchaAd-Impressions erreicht. In the converse argument this means until a CaptchaAd-TKP of 51,00€, CaptchaAd is the better advertising format.

    Conclusion: The video advertising media CaptchaAd outguns in its’ advertising impact the conventional Pre-Roll Video Ad about 3,4-times and the TrueView-Ad about 1,25-times. If there were TKP-offers for all 3 advertising medias it would be possible to determine, which of these advertising formats has the highest effectivity by multiplying with the factors 3,4 and 1,25.
