mktg charts ad touchpoints largeWhen it comes to the advertising touchpoints that give consumers the most positive impression of a brand, TV ads rule the roost among paid media. And, a new report from GroupM shows that despite the growing use of influencer marketing, influencers are less likely to create a positive brand impression.

The global survey of almost 14,000 adult consumers between the ages of 18 and 49 finds that 46% of respondents indicated that recommendations give them a more positive impression of brands, while positive online reviews from other users (41%) come in a close second. These are also the same touchpoints that have a strong influence on whether or not to buy a product or service.
