Boris Mizhen on Using Simplistic Advertising in 2018

Research suggests that 150 million people use some form of ad blocking software.

New York, NY – June 2, 2018 /MarketersMedia/ —

Digital marketing guru Boris Mizhen has witnessed many companies struggle for the past two years with online advertising because of pop-up blockers and other ways customers actively try to avoid interruptions while they are online. A long-time advocate for using advertising tools to advance business objectives, Mizhen predicts that brands will be more focused on adapting their methods to avoid systems like pop-ups and adblockers on Internet webpages.

Research suggests that 150 million people use some form of ad blocking software. Of these, 73 percent block ads because they’re interruptive. According to Mizhen, “The battle against adblocking methods will continue in 2018, but the result will be a more respectful native advertising experience for users.” As more publications adopt infinite scrolling on their websites, companies will be able to offer sponsored content without intruding on people’s experience.

The business strategist also predicts the growth of native video content in 2016. Silent autoplay videos, largely popularized by Facebook and further reinforced by Twitter, are expected to become a normal part of people’s browsing experience. Video consumption habits are shifting, which will ultimately cause marketers to allocate more money to their video ad spend in 2016. Boris Mizhen explains, “Native advertising videos contribute to brand recognition, as statistics suggest that people remember 50 percent more from a video compared to written content.”

The decrease of banner advertising will add to the rise of “Recommended Widgets”, within native advertising, according to Boris Mizhen. The method of putting a banner ad at the top of a page has been replaced with creative placement so that native ads appear toward the end of a related article as recommended content. Mizhen expects brands to adapt specific videos according to consumer interests to drive real, emotional responses. Mizhen addresses that even publishers such as Forbes have expanded their own native advertising content marketing platforms since they first launched. Their sponsored content platform, BrandVoice, launched in 2010, optimizing it for mobile the following year, hitting 10 million page views in 2013. Many of these platforms enable brands to publish native ads to the same streams as editorial content, and advertisers such as Toyota and AT&T are already committed to the technique.
