Consumers continue to rate ads in traditional media as more trustworthy than ads that appear online according to a new study from Advertising Standards Canada (ASC). The ASC Research: Consumer Perspectives on Advertising 2015 report found that a majority of Canadians continue to feel positively about advertising and get value from the ads they read, hear and see.
Conducted in early 2015 with a representative sample of 1,052 Canadians, this research probes into consumer comfort levels concerning the truth and accuracy of advertising across all media. This study is a follow-up of the 2014 Consumer Perspectives on Advertising report.
