Key Learnings

Our extensive learnings are based on over 35 years of advertising research. These findings are continuously retested to ensure their validity.

Just a few of our key findings:

  • Today's television advertising may still be the most powerful element in the marketing mix.
  • Continuous airing produces more sales than flighting (with similar weight).
  • It is no longer a matter of whether or not TV advertising is effective, but whether it is effective enough to meet the specific business objectives.
  • Managing the TV ads is worth four times as much as managing the media alone.
  • The rsc Brand Preference (choice) instrument has withstood the test of time, tying directly to market performance short term and over time.
  • Each ad has a unique return on marketing investment value.
  • An ad's power works quickly with diminishing returns . . . and wears out in the process.
  • The strength of an ad's value proposition predicts overall ad impact "levels." Finding a strong one improves the effectiveness of subsequent ads dramatically and consistently.
  • Getting both the emotional and the rational parts "right" leads to the greatest advertising success.
