The impact of interactive advertising on consumer engagement, recall, and understanding: A scoping systematic review for informing regulatory science

Abstract

We conducted a scoping systematic review with respect to how consumer engagement with interactive advertising is evaluated and if interactive features influence consumer recall, awareness, or comprehension of product claims and risk disclosures for informing regulatory science. MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Business Source Corporate, and SCOPUS were searched for original research published from 1997 through February 2021. Two reviewers independently screened titles/abstracts and full-text articles for inclusion. Outcomes were abstracted into a structured abstraction form. We included 32 studies overall. The types of interactive ads evaluated included website banner and pop up ads, search engine ads, interactive TV ads, advergames, product websites, digital magazine ads, and ads on social network sites. Twenty-three studies reported objective measures of engagement using observational analyses or laboratory-based experiments. In nine studies evaluating the association between different interactivity features and outcomes, the evidence was mixed on whether more interactivity improves or worsens recall and comprehension. Studies vary with respect to populations, designs, ads evaluated, and outcomes assessed.

The Impact of User Awareness on Online Behavior Advertising Acceptance

“…According to Ham (2016) a positive attitude towards OBA is synonymous with greater receptivity to targeted advertising, which, in turn, can lead to more effective advertising campaigns. Users who see OBA as a valuable tool to receive personalized and relevant content tend to be more engaged with ads, contributing to higher click-through and conversion rates for advertisers (Giombi et al 2022;Mehta & Udita, 2020). Conversely, a negative or skeptical attitude toward OBA can result in resistance, ad blocker use, or even mistrust of online advertising, which can hinder the growth and effectiveness of digital marketing strategies (Redondo & Fernandez, 2018).…”

“…Different organizations, with different strategic objectives, purchase different types of data. Commonly quoted examples include marketers and advertisers, using consumer data to identify potential customers and create targeted advertising campaigns [40], healthcare companies, which purchase data including patient demographics, medical history, and clinical results in an effort to improve patient outcomes and reduce costs [32], government agencies, and researchers, to name a few.…”
