Crunchy” product launch

| 01/03/2013 | mobile and online – cross-media success strategies for digital advertising campaigns
Executive summary
For the first time ever, the question of how a combined online and mobile campaign influences
the advertising effectiveness for the consumer has been pursued in Unit Mobile Advertising’s
comprehensive advertising study within the Bundesverband Digitale Wirtschaft (BVDW) e.V. The
cross-media study has been supported by the Online Marketing Association (OVK) in the BVDW.
Using an innovative research approach, the interviewees’ contacts in the cross-media campaign
in FMCG (fast moving consumer goods) on online and mobile sites could be clearly identified and
matched. Within the framework of follow-up related interviews, the individual effects, as well as
the cross-media effect of both the online and mobile advertising materials were examined
closely.
The results of this study clearly prove that the campaign for the “Leibniz Choco Crunchy” product
launch was able to positively influence the relevant indicators of advertising effectiveness.

Partner and service provider
Nine notable marketers of the Unit Mobile Advertising (MAC) and the Online Marketer Association
(OVK) in the BVDW were involved in this study: Axel Springer Media Impact, G+J Electronic
Media Sales GmbH, InteractiveMedia CCSP GmbH, IP Deutschland GmbH, iq digital media
marketing GmbH, OMS Vermarktungs GmbH & Co. KG, Tomorrow Focus Media GmbH, United
Internet Media AG and YOC AG.
Institut d.core GmbH has been responsible as service provider for study concept development
and coordination and data analysis; technical tracking has been provided by Meetrics GmbH;
Payback provided the online access panel.

Method
The study lasted 20 days. For the purpose of the study, Payback’s online access panel was
consulted.
All advertising media on both the marketers’ online and mobile sites were provided with a
corresponding tag for contact measurement. This made it possible for information regarding
contact to advertising materials to be measured with the panel, including the timestamp and
contact number.
Starting Week 2 of the campaign, panelists with campaign contact were invited to participate in
an online survey measuring the advertising effects of the campaign. Also, a control group was
consulted. Based on the tracking data, four examined groups were identified ex post:
1.Control-group (without campaign contact), N=848
2.Online-only group, N=672 ( contacts: 3.64)
3.Mobile-only group, N=410 ( contacts: 3.48)
4.Cross-media group (online and mobile), N=112 ( contacts total: 10.19;  contacts online
6.07;  contacts mobile 4.56)

Method

Test campaign
In order to gauge the advertising’s effectiveness, the “Leibniz Choco Crunchy” product was
launched within the framework of a broad-based online and mobile campaign. The campaign was
conducted from 1 October 2012 to 21 October 2012. The budget for online and mobile marketing
was approximately €120,000.
The campaign was promoted on a total of 59 premium sites: 32 were online and 27 mobile. The
campaign used large-scale types of advertising such as wallpaper and billboard ads online and
2:1 ads on mobile sites.
The advertising materials created were geared towards the respective medium, yet the basic
message was very similar.

Study profile

Results

Key results of study
As individual channels, online and mobile advertising increase the effectiveness of a
campaign considerably.
However, the cross-media combination of both channels is the most effective, because
the total effects are the most visible.
In addition, the mobile channel shows a considerably high conversion rate - ads placed
on mobile sites (too), seem to be best able to engage the user in further activity with the
advertised product.

Comments from our partners
Hans-Peter Pfaff, Media Manager Europe, Bahlsen:
The results of this study strikingly tell that using digital channels in media planning
can lead to a considerable increase in advertising results, especially when taking into
account using cross-media strategies. The conversion rate of the “Leibniz Choco
Crunchy” mobile campaign serves as an important argument in favour of advertising
in a mobile environment.
Andrea Eckes, CEO, d.core
The results deliver crucial insights for the future planning of online and mobile
campaigns. The conversion rate of mobile campaigns corresponds to the conditions
of use. It is, therefore, of crucial importance to consider these when creating
campaigns, like Bahlsen did with their product “Leibniz Choco Crunchy”.

substantially in both
cases (+17.1% bzw.
+34.5%).

contact groups show
the highest rates
(+39.6% and +9%
respectively).

Brand likeability
Online campaign

increase of brand like-
ability of 4.1%;
