The Context Effect is a biometric study on contextual advertising that was conducted by Integral Ad Science (IAS). IAS sought to explore how contextual alignment alongside relevant content has the potential to drive stronger recall, favorability, and ultimately a more powerful user experience.
IAS research has shown that when asked, consumers prefer contextually relevant ads. The Context Effect study inserted below explores the role that contextual matching plays in the advertising experience... and how consumers' brains respond. Leveraging advanced neurotechnology, IAS measured activity in the memory centers of participants’ brains to understand the impact of contextual matching and how to pair advertising messages with content for optimal response.
**Key takeaways: **Informational ads perform best when endemically matched to an article's content, driving 36% more detail memory. Emotive ads perform best when thematically matched, driving 40% more global memory.
