Online ad engagement 25 times higher than click rate
Just read this study, late I know but the numbers are impressive

“Video saw a 30% lift in engagement over non-video banners with dwell time nearly doubling from 37.37 to 71.51 seconds. With more than one in ten users spending over a minute, video banner advertising may be a popular alternative to intrusive pre-roll advertising.”
eyeblaster have done a great job on this report but why are they and other still charging on a cpm basis?
Surely paying for engagement is the way forward?

I’d suggest that with video display advertisers have to sell up against TV dwell-time is a bit too academic.
Sales houses are trying to quantify online video ads in terms of TV-like GRP as that’s what the client knows. At least CPM can be extrapolated to a rough GRP figure; dwell time might make such a calculation a step too far.
The FMCG companies know what they are paying ($-wise) for notional eyeballs with their TV ads so they need a comparable measurement for their online video too.
