Summary/Abstract: The online environment provides companies with more and more opportunities to attract potential customers with their offer. Companies need to consider which types of online marketing communications are the right tools to use in order to increase their profits. Recently, the format of non-skippable advertising has been quite a controversial topic, which is becoming the core of an increasingly strong debate among marketing experts. There is already plenty of evidence that non-skippable advertising is indeed annoying for users of online platforms, but companies continue to use the format. However, it is of course possible that even if non-skippable advertising is annoying to consumers, it still has a use from a brand perspective that can be seen as beneficial. In order to investigate this, an experiment was conducted using an eye-tracking device, and the results from this experiment are the main output of this study.
