At a time when TV is battling digital media for ad dollars, a new survey by Advertiser Perception finds that commercials on TV have more impact than ads in other media.

The survey found that 40% of the marketer and media agency execs polled said TV ads have the most impact, compared to 23% who picked digital video ads.

Earned media was selected by 15%, native ads by 14%, radio ads by 5% and magazine ads for 4%.
