"The global online survey showed that people who received news content from a friend or associate via social media, were 19% more likely to recommend the brand that advertised around that story to others and 27% more likely to favour that brand themselves." (emphasis mine)

Huh!?  I wouldn't have thought the peripheral advertisers would pick up much status unless their brand was generally and positively associated with the topic of the story.

Yeah. I have the same banner/ad blindness regardless of how I end up on a story. How's that making a difference? These social media people they're testing must be real noobs. ;)
