Optimizing Mobile Video Ads

All Case Studies

Kimberly Clark utilised Activision Blizzard Media’s mobile platform to boost brand impact for its Andrex® campaign. By leveraging an ad effectiveness study, Kimberly Clark was able to test the efficacy of opt-in video ads among leaned-in players within a highly premium environment. 

The Goal
