With the growing marketing trends, businesses are now becoming more conscious about brand image and safety. They know that consumers are becoming more aware of the environment and this is the reason they now look for brands that keep the safety of the environment first. However, regardless of how safe the brand is, marketing plays an important role in setting the perception of the consumers. Placing advertisement during or after harmful or offensive content plays a very important role in setting a perception about the brand and the product in general.
During the last two years, brand safety has emerged as a serious concern for most of the companies. Just because of careless marketing strategy and not understanding the concept of brand safety, over 250 advertisers have pulled out their marketing campaigns from major social media platforms (including Facebook, YouTube and Twitter). Some of the bigger brands including Disney, Nestle, AT&T have recently made a comeback to these platforms, others still remain in doubt waiting for the right moment. Around 60% of the consumers experienced fake news, hateful content and inappropriate content and this is the reason brands were concerned where their advertisement was placed.
Since mobile games have the lowest rate of facing the problem of fake news, they are considered better platforms for advertising the product as compared to other networks like Facebook, YouTube etc. The report also explains that the highest rate of purchasing a product after seeing an advertisement also happens to be the mobile gaming industry. 1 in 4 people like to purchase the product that they saw during the playing game which is the highest number of consumers, as compared to other social media networks.
