Background: From a marketing perspective, personalisation of online advertising is a very promising way of reaching customers and will play an increasingly important role in the future.

It directly relates to the issue of privacy of personal data and creates a need for a privacy policy that clarifies the relation between personalisation and privacy. Problem: Personalisation represents one of the main advantages of the Internet and al-lows marketers to target individual customers directly and adapt their marketing communications to the user’s preferences and needs. On the one hand, personalisation can give customers access to better service, products and communication and provides an experience of one. On the other, privacy issues related to the Internet and personalisation in particular are a contemporary topic of growing interest.

Personal information is necessary for personalising advertisements. Therefore, this development contradicts the customer’s increased demand for personalisation and the trend towards narrowly targeted marketing. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to explore if personalised online advertising could be perceived as a danger to customer’s privacy or on the other hand, facilitate the purchase decision process.

Purpose - The purpose of this research was to study millennial consumers' attention to online advertisements published by streetwear companies on social media. The aim was to investigate differences between consumers' attention to familiar products and unfamiliar products. Three hypotheses were constructed to test whether product familiarity affects consumers´ attention to advertisements: H1: Consumers who are familiar with the products are more likely to look at them in advertisements than consumers who are unfamiliar with the products. H2: Consumers who are familiar with the products will spend more time looking at them in advertisements than consumers who are unfamiliar with the products. H3: Consumers who are familiar with the products will find them faster from advertisements than consumers who are unfamiliar with the products. Method - The study applied between-subjects design by dividing 40 participants in two matched groups based on their gender. Both groups had 10 male and 10 female participants. During the eye-tracking experiment, participants in Group 1 were shown three product photos for two seconds and three advertisements containing the same products for four seconds. Participants in Group 2 were only presented with three advertisements for four seconds. The results of the study are presented in two parts. Firstly, heatmaps give an illustrative overview of the findings and Statistical analysis presents the results of statistical tests. Chi-square test was performed to test the first hypothesis and independent-samples t-tests were performed to test the second and third hypotheses. Results - The results of the study show that people who were familiar with the products were more likely to look at them in advertisements than consumers who were unfamiliar with the products. Also, people who were familiar with the products spent more time looking at them compared to people who were unfamiliar with the products. However, previous exposure to products did not result in faster identification of the products from advertisements.

Studien diskuterar hur spelifierad reklam, ett så kallat advergame som kombinerar spel ochreklam, kan påverka användarnas engagemang på en plattform såsom Youtube. En prototypskapades med målet att illustrera hur spelifierad reklam på en videoplattform kan se ut. Studiensavsikt är att få en förståelse för hur användarnas attityd till reklam påverkar och influerar derasengagemang till att interagera med ett advergame på en videoplattform. Vidare är studiens syfteatt utvärdera vilka spelelement som påverkar användares engagemang i ett advergame. Studienanvände sig av kvalitativa metoder samt prototyputveckling. Prototypen utvecklades under tvåiterationer och det genomfördes även fyra användbarhetstester för att förbättra prototypen.Därefter testades prototypen i en fokusgrupp och i tre par-intervjuer. Intervjuerna genomfördespå plats i två städer i sydvästra Skåne. Resultatet bidrog med insikter om hur personerinteragerar med digital reklam och deras tankar kring ett advergame. Responsen frånintervjuerna indikerade att det inte är lämpligt att använda advergames på en videoplattform pågrund av att det stör användarens intention till varför de är på Youtube. Vidare dras slutsatsenatt spelelement som ledartavla, poäng och medaljer främjar engagemang och uppmuntraranvändaren till att interagera med ett advergame.

A prototype was createdwith the aim of illustrating how gamified advertising on a video platform can be portrayed. Thepurpose of the study is to gain a better understanding regarding users' attitude towardsadvertising and how it influences their engagement to interact with an advergame on a videoplatform. Further, the intention of the study is to evaluate which game elements affect users’engagement on an advergame. The study consisted of qualitative methods and prototypedevelopment. The prototype was developed over two iterations and four usability tests were alsoconducted to improve the prototype. The prototype was then tested in a focus group and in threeinterviews made up of pairs. The interviews were held on site in two cities in southwest Skåne.The result contributed insights into how people interact with digital advertising and theirthoughts about an advergame. The response from the interviews indicated that it is notappropriate to use advergames on a video platform because it interferes with the user's intentionas to why they are on Youtube. Furthermore, it is concluded that game elements such asleaderboards, points and medals promote engagement and encourage the users to interact withan advergame. To get a clearer result, further prototype development as well as tests andinterviews are required.

網路廣告是目前世界上成長最快的廣告類別，每年營收以30％的速度在成長，是最具有發展潛力的廣告市場。但是對於廣告主而言，如何評估網路廣告的效益及其收費模式發展，與未來廣告市場的發展息息相關。因此，本研究希望藉由網路廣告的型態及計價方式探討，試圖找出發展的趨勢，提供給業者以及學術研究作為參考。透過本研究，讀者可以大致瞭解目前網路廣告的發展狀況，進而對網路廣告的發展趨勢也有所瞭解.。 目前網際網路的型態大致有：關鍵字搜尋、展現式、分類目錄、導引轉介、電子郵件、置入性行銷等六大類型。而網際網路的廣告收費模式，一直在不斷發展中，從傳統的記錄曝光次數來收費，逐漸轉入網路上專有的依點閱計費費的方式。本研究透過此一趨勢，經過了資料整理分析研究後，本研究得出結論，網路廣告的營收模式方向，朝著「使用者提供之資訊含量度增加」以及「廣告計價方式之自由度增加」兩個面向來發展。 所謂的「使用者提供之資訊含量度增加」，代表著因為網路互動的特性，透過資訊科技來收集使用者在觀看內容時所提供的資訊，藉由分析這些使用者提供的資訊，就可以針對使用者資訊及廣告內容之間的關連性，對廣告做更有效率的投放。如此一來，廣告效果大幅度增加，相對而言廣告的價值也隨之提升。 而「廣告計價方式之自由度增加」，由原本的賣方市場，逐漸轉為由買方競價之市場。也就是說透過自由市場的機制，真實呈現廣告的價值。使用者更可以藉由資訊科技的幫助，隨時觀察網路廣告的狀態。在價格透明、資訊公開的結果下，間接的促進了網路廣告市場的成長，也確立了未來廣告定價的發展方向。 本研究同時也提供了「網路廣告代理制度的建立」，以及「無線廣告之經營模式」，等兩項的發展建議，提供給網路廣告業者及電信業者參考，此部分亦深具研究價值，期待未來能有更多的研究報告出現。 / Online advertisement is the fastest growing kind of advertisements, and already attracting notice from all over the world. Its revenues increased about 30% per year，thus is the most potential advertising market. Evaluating the effective and price model of online ad are to be closely bound up with it future development. This thesis focuses on the type and price model of the online ad, and tries to find out the trend of development. This is for business and learning reference. Through this research, the reader will get to know the situation of online ad development, further more to understand the trend. The types of online ad are classified into six types: keywords, display ad, classified, lead generation/referral, and email ad. However, the pricing model is still in progress. From the traditional exposure and impression model transform to by click and action model. Our research discovered this phenomenon. Through comprehensive data collection and analysis we conclude that the online ad is heading to two directions, “the increase of user information provided” and “the flexibility of ad price”. “The increase of user information provided” means we can collect more and more information from user’s action through browser. With the information technology we can have a lot of analytic works to know what user want, and properly deliver the ad that highly relates to what users want. .It will make the online ad more effective result of increasing the value of ad. “The flexibility of ad price” means the internet market turning from sellers to buyers. The efficiency reporting system provide advertiser instant statistics, which makes the value of online ad effectiveness transparent to customers. Indirectly lift the growth of the online ad market and also affirm the pricing direction of online ad. Our research also provided some suggestions for ad agents and mobile ad development for online ad or telecom business operators, and we hope it will be more valuable for these types of business.
