Using Relevant Stimuli To Increase Accuracy

 

 

The brief:

A TV Commercial subjected to in-hall tests had scored reasonably high. However, it failed to evoke a positive response in the market.

Our Understanding:

The problem could lie in two areas. First, in-hall tests may not have been simulated properly. Second, commercials may work well in absolute terms but sometimes fail to do so in a competitive situation.

PRISM Approach:

Address both the issues simultaneously. Expose the commercial in color to those who view in color, and also in B&W to the rest. Further, expose the commercial in a clutter of competitive brand ads along with other ads to determine its competitive edge.

Results:

Noticeability, registration and appeal scores were more or less in tune with real life telecast scores whereas specific weaknesses were clearly spelt out.
