Dynamic Logic's AdReaction 5 research study asked consumers about their overall attitudes towards various advertising mediums.  Print advertising and other traditional forms rate most positively, while more intrusive forms--such as non-opt-in email and mobile ads-- lag in consumer appeal.

The study found that the more relevant people feel the ads are to them, the better their opinions of the format. Newspaper, TV and magazine ads were found to be the most relevant, while ads on mobile devices, non-opt-in emails, and telemarketing were least relevant.
