Socially-published and socially-enabled ads
A key component of comScore Ad Metrix is visibility into the growing market of socially-published and socially-enabled ads. Socially-published ads refer to any brand's display ads that appear on social networking sites, such as Facebook or Orkut. Socially-enabled ads are IAB standard display ads that click through to Facebook or other social networking sites. Increasingly, brands are utilising these social calls-to-action in their display ad campaigns as a means of bolstering their social media presence.
In the case of Unilever, 4.9% of the brand's total display ad impressions were socially enabled in December 2011, while 21.9% of Unilever's ad impressions were socially-published.
