Methodology. . . . . . . . . . . 18
Trends-based targeting is
the use of real-time interest
trends to inform and focus
media buying. This Real-Time
Trend Report (RTTR) provides
a quarterly analysis of the
top trends driving advertising
performance. To produce
these insights, Taykey mined
data across dozens of Fortune
500 ad campaigns throughout
Q1 and compared the top
performing trends tied to these
campaigns against publiclyavailable benchmark data.
Welcome to the third
installment of the most
popular trends in media and
advertising performance.

music trends drum up ad
engagements in q1 2015
Q1 real-time advertising trend performance picked up right where 2014 left off
as overall display campaign CTRs increased 16% from last quarter. Part of this
increase is due to auto-shopping and general news trend performance growth,
which increased 68% and 53% respectively over Q4 2014. This may have been
expected because three of the world’s biggest annual auto shows are held
in Q1 of every year. However, Q1 individual auto trends were unpredictable.
Speaking of unpredictability, News trends have highest fluctuation quarterto-quarter due to the lack of a true “schedule” outside of political election
years. Analytically, we are often drawn to trends that have the largest growth in
performance. But high growth can often signal high volatility over time. What
about trends that just consistently perform well each quarter? Those deserve
examination as well.
For three consecutive quarters, real-time music trends have delivered CTRs well
above industry benchmarks with averages of +65% (Q314), +132% (Q414) and
+182% (Q115). Not only have they continually delivered favorable performance,
but they have provided consistent scale for ad delivery, ranging between
12%-14% of total Taykey impressions each quarter. Music trends are the only
category within the entertainment sector to see this level of consistency. Why?
Music trends seem to lack a strong seasonality while also producing a constant
stream of news. For example, ‘music festival season’ actually spans all quarters
ranging from Ultra (Q1), to Coachella (Q2), to Lollapalooza (Q3) to Austin City
Limits (Q4). Movie trends spike leading into the summer for blockbuster season
and again at the end of each year during the holiday season. TV trends spike
leading into both premiere and sweeps seasons.
In Q1, similar to last year, music trends naturally clustered into four major
subcategories: Televised Events, Unexpected Events, New Music Releases and
Industry News. Musical performances tied to TV events happen year-round,
ranging from the Super Bowl half-time show to the weekly musical act on
Saturday Night Live. Lady Gaga’s tribute to the Sound of Music at the Oscars
generated engagement nearly 4.5x above industry average. Some of these
events can be planned for in advance. Yet, many others cannot. One of
the top performing trends for Q1 was then Will Ferrell unexpectedly lip
synced Beyoncé’s 'Drunk in Love' on The Tonight Show the week before the
Grammys. To date, that video has received 40MM views on YouTube with a
positive rating of over 98%.
New music releases throughout the year, largely because the industry is
not incentivized to release during specific times of year the way movies
and TV shows are. When Drake unexpectedly announced the release
of his new mixtape, ads activated based on this trend performed at 3.8x
above industry average. Zayn Malik leaving One Direction was one of the
biggest music news trends of the quarter and delivered engagement
rates 3.3x above industry benchmark. Yes, music industry news trends are
often unpredictable. But but when captured by real-time advertising, they
consistently deliver.

TOP 10
TRENDS
Q1 was loaded with trend
targeting opportunities tied
to multiple tent-pole events
across several categories.
These included sports (March
Madness), lifestyle (NY Fashion
Week), TV (Oscars,) and auto
(Detroit Auto Show) to name
a few. Although these trends
drove scale and efficiency, they
could not outperform the #1
trend of the quarter, T-Mobile’s
offering of $650 in credits to
for people to switch wireless
carriers to T-Mobile. This trend
drove performance over 13x
industry average proving that
there is no word consumers
like more than ‘free’.
When examining top
performing trends by gender,
the top male skewing trends
saw more diversity across
auto and technology news
while the top female trends
were rooted in celebrity gossip
and lifestyle trends.

Dead and House of Cards.
Lifestyle and news were the
highest performing trend
categories due to the global
Fashion Weeks in Q1 as well

TRENDS
IN VIDEO
Video view rates increased
35% in Q1 2015 after
stagnating between Q3
and Q4 2014. This growth
can largely be attributed to
higher overall performance
across various types of
entertainment trends and a
shift away from technology
trends. Additionally, view
rates on tablets and
smartphones both increased
significantly from last
quarter with movie trends,
in particular, proved most
effective on tablets while
music trends performed
best on smartphones.

METHODOLOGY
Taykey analyzed data
from more than 60 trendtargeted campaigns that ran
between January 1, 2015 to
March 31, 2015. In order to
provide consistent points of
comparison, engagement
metrics for trends-targeted
ads were measured
against estimated industry
benchmarks. These industry
benchmarks were derived
from publicly-available data
sources including Google/
Doubleclick, Sizmek and
eMarketer. Trends and
topic categories were
then ranked based on the
highest performance against
industry benchmarks.
