    Audi and Nissan have embraced branded content, but what is putting off other marketers.

    Perhaps it is to do with measurement? The rise of digital has led to a focus on roi and measurement generally (which may also be linked to the decline in creativity - you can't measure it). We seem to be moving more and more into a world where we know the price of everything but not necessarily the value. So advertisers are loathe to take on media which they cannot measure and fold into their overall planning with a number attached to allow them to justify its inclusion.

    It's not only the measurement that is hard to quantify, but the level of investment needed to bring branded content to fruition. You need not only a worthwhile concept and meticulous planning; budgeting and finding the correct partners for the venture, and this is even before you've filmed anything. Most marketeers seem a little scared of adapting to new ideas that haven't been fulled tested yet, however those that have experienced branded content and find it worthwhile, will come back for more.
