<div id="readability-page-1"><p>As media channels expand and content volumes rise, the way businesses evaluate advertising performance is also evolving. Speaking to <em>VnExpress</em>, Guo Zhi Feng, chairman of Chicilon Media, said that the logic of assessing advertising effectiveness is being redefined. He noted that the key question is no longer how widely an advertisement is distributed, but whether it is actually seen under appropriate conditions.</p><p>Guo Zhi Feng said that in the past, brands often relied on metrics such as impressions, reach and click-through rates. When media resources were more limited, these indicators served as useful benchmarks.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://vcdn1-english.vnecdn.net/2026/04/14/a1-1776142442-6426-1776142453.jpg/query-ZHByPTEmZml0PWNyb3AmaD0wJnE9MTAwJnM9eDB2RUMzbzNmQzFlanhDRDA1bmhVdyZ3PTY4MA?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="680" height="453" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://vcdn1-english.vnecdn.net/2026/04/14/a1-1776142442-6426-1776142453.jpg/query-ZHByPTEmZml0PWNyb3AmaD0wJnE9MTAwJnM9eDB2RUMzbzNmQzFlanhDRDA1bmhVdyZ3PTY4MA"/></td> </tr><tr><td> <p>Dual advertising screens installed in office lobby.

The presence of an advertisement does not necessarily mean it is genuinely seen, and even when briefly viewed, it may not be retained.</p><p>&#34;As the volume of information increases and user attention becomes more fragmented, many campaigns achieve wide distribution but fail to generate corresponding levels of awareness. Such a scenario requires a shift in how communication effectiveness is evaluated,&#34; he said.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://vcdn1-english.vnecdn.net/2026/04/14/a2-1776142444-9708-1776142454.jpg/query-ZHByPTEmZml0PWNyb3AmaD0wJnE9MTAwJnM9RklfYWFxQWdSZUZ2WnBuemUzMDg4QSZ3PTY4MA?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="680" height="453" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://vcdn1-english.vnecdn.net/2026/04/14/a2-1776142444-9708-1776142454.jpg/query-ZHByPTEmZml0PWNyb3AmaD0wJnE9MTAwJnM9RklfYWFxQWdSZUZ2WnBuemUzMDg4QSZ3PTY4MA"/></td> </tr><tr><td> <p>Advertising screens installed an office lobby.

This reflects a broader shift in evaluation methods.</p><p>Rather than focusing solely on delivery, businesses are placing greater emphasis on whether advertisements are seen under suitable conditions. Measurement is also moving beyond surface-level indicators toward understanding how audiences perceive and process content.</p><p>From this perspective, advertising effectiveness is increasingly viewed as a process rather than a single outcome. Messages typically require repeated exposure to build recall before influencing consumer decisions.</p><p>This shift is also influencing media channel selection. According to Guo Zhi Feng, effective channels tend to share several characteristics: frequent audience exposure, sufficient dwell time, minimal distractions and clear content visibility, allowing repeated engagement by the same audience group.</p><p>When these conditions are met, advertising can maintain a consistent presence. Audiences absorb information gradually through repeated exposure, rather than relying on a single interaction.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://vcdn1-english.vnecdn.net/2026/04/14/a3-1776142447-3505-1776142454.jpg/query-ZHByPTEmZml0PWNyb3AmaD0wJnE9MTAwJnM9aVhFM1k1YXYzcm1FNDNYbFJmanU3USZ3PTY4MA?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="680" height="423" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://vcdn1-english.vnecdn.net/2026/04/14/a3-1776142447-3505-1776142454.jpg/query-ZHByPTEmZml0PWNyb3AmaD0wJnE9MTAwJnM9aVhFM1k1YXYzcm1FNDNYbFJmanU3USZ3PTY4MA"/></td> </tr><tr><td> <p>Consistently visible and memorable brand helps to create effective advertising.

Elevators are part of daily routines and provide repeated, relatively stable exposure.</p><p>Their enclosed setting, fixed waiting time and limited distractions allow advertising content to be displayed clearly. Viewers can absorb information over a sufficient period, with repeated exposure contributing to memory formation.</p><p>He added that advertising effectiveness is not determined solely by the number of impressions, but by how content is delivered in the right environment and reinforced over time. Initial exposure may create basic awareness, while subsequent exposures strengthen the message. With sufficient frequency, the information is more likely to be retained and influence decision-making.</p><p>This approach helps businesses better understand the relationship between media environment, exposure frequency and communication effectiveness, supporting more efficient resource allocation aligned with long-term objectives.</p></div>

分眾傳媒

<p>Chicilon Media 的董事長郭志峯強調，廣告效果越來越多地取決於上下文、可見性和受眾記憶，而不僅僅是印象。隨着媒體渠道的擴展，廣告表現的評估正在演變。企業正在將重點從分發指標轉向廣告是否真正被看到和記住。有效的廣告需要在合適的環境中進行重複曝光，例如城市媒體環境，以建立消費者的記憶並影響決策。這種新方法有助於理解媒體曝光與傳播效果之間的關係，從而實現更好的資源配置</p>

Chicilon 表示，廣告在真正被看到時才會有效，並能夠增強記憶力
