The study measured the effectiveness of advertisements from the 2014 Super Bowl by surveying participants before and after the game about their likelihood to purchase products from brands advertised. It found that 83.9% of brands positively influenced purchase likelihood, ranging from -31.66% to 39.5% change. Males saw a 13.3% greater increase in purchase likelihood than females. Consumers under 18 saw a 61.9% greater increase than those over 18. Purchase likelihood increase was 7.1 times greater for consumers earning $0-100k compared to over $100k.
2. ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE
BrandAds conducted a study to determine the effectiveness of the advertisements
that aired during the television broadcast of the 2014 Super Bowl™.
METHODOLOGY
The study was conducted across Internet-connected devices via the proprietary
software platform, BrandAds Bridge, and included 37,440 participants from around
the United States. Participants described how likely they were to purchase a product
or service from a particular brand by choosing a single answer from 5 choices ranging
from “very likely” to “very unlikely.” Surveys were completed by the control group
prior to the airing of the Super Bowl™ and by the separate exposed group after they
had watched the Super Bowl™.
FINDINGS
The percentage change in likelihood to purchase the advertised products and services
among the exposed group ranged from -31.66% to 39.50%.
