In September 2022, Kadence partnered with tSurvey, an Indonesian online panel firm, to examine how individuals reacted to digital and non-digital ads. The participants came from 10 big cities in Indonesia, with Jakarta holding the biggest percentage of this study at 44 percent.
According to the findings, 45% of the respondents watched ads on their social media accounts. Among the 88% of people who had Instagram accounts, 40% didn’t skip the ads on the platform. Likewise, from the 62% of respondents with YouTube accounts, 28% didn’t skip the ads. Yet, the number decreased to 21% for the 40% of the respondents with Facebook accounts.
By age, the 26-30-year-olds had the highest viewership percentage of ads on their social media compared to other age groups.
Respondents highlighted the following three reasons why they watched the ads: they planned to buy the product (58%), they found the visuals captivating (55%), and the duration was short (40%).
Lastly, the most watched product category was automotive advertising, with 57% viewership, followed by body care (56%) and face care (50%).
