The study from Pressboard shows how advertisers consume media similar to how ordinary people outside the ad industry do.
For example, about 80% of ad professionals polled by Pressboard said they skip ads when they view shows through a DVR. Surveys of consumers indicate that 65% to 90% of people skip video ads when the option is available.
Beyond that, a separate June 2018 survey from The CMO Club and Thunder, found that advertisers are also not very happy when they keep getting served the same ad over and over and over. The challenge is figuring out when ad frequency reports are accurate.
Indeed, the survey of 82 senior marketing executives worldwide found that although over three-quarters (78%) of respondents said it is “inexcusable” for consumers to keep receiving ads for products they already bought, 60% were not confident in the accuracy of the reports they receive on ad frequency.
