We compared type-in ads to more traditional static ads in two places on a website: as an interstitial, in which users must view the ad to get to the next page of content, and as a form ad, in which users must view an ad to submit an online form. There was a significant increase in brand and message recall for type-ins compared to static ads for both interstitials and form ads. Furthermore, type-ins did not impact user experience positively or negatively in either case. Both interstitial and form ads, whether type-in or static, had better brand and message recall when the ad and site content were consistent (i.e., an entertainment ad on an entertainment site) than when the ad was inconsistent (i.e., a travel ad on an entertainment site). The increased recall for brand and message produced with type-in ads indicates that type-ins can play an important role in the broader goals of brand building within IMC.
