People welcome clever advertising that exploits digital technology I'd like digital marketing to be smarter – if there were a way to track someone's reading habits and show them adverts based on this it would be useful. I love fashion so this advert is perfect for my interest. It's related to somewhere I can shop for clothes so would definitely interest me – I love clothes shopping! - Sophie, 23 “ I would make it less invasive and more targeted. I know that internet advertisers can track your browsing activity and target adverts at you, but I feel these are still quite generic. I don't know how, but it would be great to see adverts tailored personally to you - Michael, 21 “ ...The Daily Mail for example is right at the bottom of the screen and is great because it is tailored and non-intrusive to the story I'm reading - Mark, 33 “ I would like more personalised and more interactive ads. I like adverts which are moving and catch the eye, rather than just a still image - Paul, 34 “ Source: Newsworks, Be smart about smartphones, 2015

You can target your advertising to specific parts of the day Browser Morning Afternoon Evening Late night/early morning Average duration (minutes) Number of visits/people So let’s look first at newspaper websites on smartphones. Number of visitors is steady throughout the day – apart from a few hours in the middle of the night. I imagine though that might have been different on Sunday night with the number of people tweeting pictures of the lunar eclipse at 3am! The number of visits builds steadily as people wake up and get going on their day, dropping down a little during working hours, and rising again steadily during the evening. They don’t appear to be taking Arianna Huffington’s advice to switch off digital devices an hour before bedtime  Duration follows a similar pattern though there are a few differences.

Personal identification Regular newsbrand readers have a strong connection to newsbrands Engagement Trust Personal identification Newsbrand readers have very high levels of emotional engagement with their chosen newsbrand and attention levels are high – and that relationship is constantly being reinforced due to the frequency of reading. In the attention deficit age, could we measure the impact of highly focussed attention? There are high levels of trust in the newsbrand they favour. The context in which the ads are seen is one that readers personally identify with, and that makes them feel part of a like-minded community – they see themselves as Mirror readers, or Guardian readers or Telegraph readers, for example. Readers seem very aware that placement of ads in newsbrands imbues those ads with certain values. Brand context effect The more engaged the reader the stronger the effect Source: Newsworks, The company you keep, 2015
