IPA's "The Long and the Short of It" - BrainJuicer synopsis
1. The Long and the Short of It
A synopsis of the
Institute of Practitioners in
Advertising (IPA) study on
advertising effectiveness

2. It’s now over 130 years since
retail magnate John
Wanamaker said:
It’s the most famous
problem in
marketing.
I know only half of
my advertising
works. The
problem is, I don’t
know which half.”
3. The Institute of Practitioners in
Advertising (IPA) commissioned
analysts and ad experts Les Binet and
Peter Field to look at the dilemma of
advertising effectiveness in
“The Long and the Short of It”
(available on the IPA website).
Their analysis looks at 996 campaigns
over 30 years. It covers over 700
brands, in 83 different categories.
It’s as good an answer to the
Wanamaker problem as we have.
Here’s our synopsis of what Les and
Peter found…
5. 55
The big payback comes from
long-term effects. Long-term
profit effects are more than
twice as big as short-term.
6. 66
Driving volume is not enough –
really profitable advertising
supports price, too. Volume
effects are immediate, but price
effects take much longer.
8. 88
Short term or long
term, salience is
crucial. Even better,
aim for fame. Fame
makes your money
go 4 times further.
9. 99
Emotions are more powerful than rational messages,
especially over the long term. Emotions have more
effects, and they last longer. They are twice as efficient
as rational messages, and deliver twice the profit.

Share of voice still
matters. Set share of
voice above market share
for growth.
