The truth is that very few people want to watch an ad. But if there's a strong enough value exchange with the consumer, they will. Just make effective content that's emotive, funny or offers utility.
Creatively, the impact of this is clients wanting ALL the messaging in the first three seconds of video content, which often causes the consumer to skip the rest of the content anyway.
