The Creativity-Based Impairment Effect
Creative advertising is often viewed as a positive force in marketing due to its ability to capture attention and increase brand engagement. However, research reveals a phenomenon known as the creativity-based impairment effect, where exposure to highly creative ads can negatively impact the recall and perception of standard ads aired alongside them. In experiments, participants exposed to creative advertisements showed a staggering 30% decline in their ability to remember regular ads, with a repeated creative ad causing recall rates of non-repeated regular ads to plummet by 70%. This finding suggests that creative ads can monopolize mental space, making ordinary ads seem less memorable and engaging.
