Methodology: Measurement of Ad Campaigns
Opportunity to See
OTS measures media the way it is
purchased.
Why: Allows for apples to apples
comparison of all media;
Advertising is measured based on
a presence in media and not
guaranteed viewing.
Continuous Tracking
Ongoing daily interviewing for the
duration of the campaign.
Why: Real time reporting,
reporting at different levels of
reach/frequency; understand the
impact of competitive and
macroeconomics
Experimental Design
In-market based test/control
evaluations for each media vehicle
Why: Multi-dimensional (factorial)
experimental design isolates
individual media and synergy
created by each media
combination.
Note: It is not necessaryfor clientsto alter their
media plans forresearch.
3rd Party Data Match
Match to third party data sets to isolate in-market actions resulting directly from campaign exposure.

Methodology: Millward Brown Normative Data
Norms are calculated in a three-step process:
One: All data from the campaigns in norms are moved to a separate
database, with the final weighting scheme applied to the
control/exposed respondents where applicable.
Two: All responses from an individual campaign are averaged together
to give one final exposed and control percentage for each metric
from that campaign.
Three: The final control/exposed values (averages) for each campaign
are then averaged together to provide a normative average that is
independent of sample size (i.e., a campaign with 100 completes
is treated the same as a campaign with 10,000 completes in this
step). The final result is the norms table.
4
Methodology: Millward Brown Normative Data’s
Six Key Brand Metrics
Unaided Awareness: When thinking of category, which brands come to mind
first?
Aided Awareness: Have you heard of the following category brands?
Advertising Awareness*: Have you seen any ADVERTISING for the following
brands within the past 30 days?
Message Association: Which of the following brands of category, if any, uses
the following message in its advertising?
“Brand Tag Line”
Brand Favorability: What is your overall opinion of each of the following
brands?
Purchase Intent: How likely are you to purchase any products from any of
the following brands?
*This question will specify the media channel used in the campaign; for example, Online, TV, Print.
5
Methodology: The Hierarchy of Advertising Effects
BRAND AWARENESS/FAMILIARITY
Measures the level of familiarity respondents have with the brand (aided and unaided)
MESSAGE ASSOCIATION
Measures the extent to which respondents can match the messages
and/or concepts in the creative to the brand
BRAND
FAVORABILITY
Measures the extent to which respondents
have a positive or favorable opinion of the
brand
PURCHASE
INTENT
Measures the likelihood of
respondents to purchase
the brand in the future
First, consumers need to be
aware of a brand.1
Then they need to understand the
value to them, or what the product
is used for.
2
The consumer forms an opinion about
the brand.3
Finally, the consumer decides whether he or
she is likely to purchase the brand.4
How do you measure where consumers are in the continuum?

Overview
Objective:
To identify the strengths of Print media, as compared to Online and TV media,
by evaluating the media channels separately and in combination with each
other.
Additional Background:
Millward Brown Digital examined a series of Cross Media campaign results in
aggregate:
• Overall
• Automotive
• CPG
• Entertainment
• Financial Services
Data collected over time, from 2007 – 2015.
7
Key Findings
Advertising benefits advertisers regardless of media channel
Combined exposure across TV, Print and Online channels resulted in larger observed
increases
• This was particularly true for the Print + TV combination, though Print + Digital
also resulted in significant lifts in advertising effects
Print ad exposures were especially effective at boosting the persuasion metrics
– brand favorability and purchase intent
• Print also significantly improved the ability of consumers to correctly associate
cross-platform ad campaigns with the brands that had sponsored the ads
Optimum ad exposure levels vary by channel. While TV and Online show
diminishing returns after 4 exposures, Print continues to improve ad awareness
and persuasion metrics at higher (5+) frequencies
• This suggests that TV and Online channels may be more cost-effective at lower
levels of exposure, while advertisers are likely to benefit from higher Print
frequencies
Print was equally effective among both males & females

    Methodology: Millward BrownNormative Data Norms are calculated in a three-step process: One: All data from the campaigns in norms are moved to a separate database, with the final weighting scheme applied to the control/exposed respondents where applicable. Two: All responses from an individual campaign are averaged together to give one final exposed and control percentage for each metric from that campaign. Three: The final control/exposed values (averages) for each campaign are then averaged together to provide a normative average that is independent of sample size (i.e., a campaign with 100 completes is treated the same as a campaign with 10,000 completes in this step). The final result is the norms table. 4

    Methodology: Millward BrownNormative Data’s Six Key Brand Metrics Unaided Awareness: When thinking of category, which brands come to mind first? Aided Awareness: Have you heard of the following category brands? Advertising Awareness*: Have you seen any ADVERTISING for the following brands within the past 30 days? Message Association: Which of the following brands of category, if any, uses the following message in its advertising? “Brand Tag Line” Brand Favorability: What is your overall opinion of each of the following brands?

    Methodology: The Hierarchyof Advertising Effects BRAND AWARENESS/FAMILIARITY Measures the level of familiarity respondents have with the brand (aided and unaided) MESSAGE ASSOCIATION Measures the extent to which respondents can match the messages and/or concepts in the creative to the brand BRAND FAVORABILITY Measures the extent to which respondents have a positive or favorable opinion of the brand PURCHASE INTENT Measures the likelihood of respondents to purchase the brand in the future First, consumers need to be aware of a brand.1 Then they need to understand the value to them, or what the product is used for. 2 The consumer forms an opinion about the brand.3 Finally, the consumer decides whether he or she is likely to purchase the brand.4 How do you measure where consumers are in the continuum? 6

    Overview Objective: To identify thestrengths of Print media, as compared to Online and TV media, by evaluating the media channels separately and in combination with each other. Additional Background: Millward Brown Digital examined a series of Cross Media campaign results in aggregate: • Overall • Automotive • CPG • Entertainment • Financial Services Data collected over time, from 2007 – 2015. 7
  • 8.
    Key Findings Advertising benefitsadvertisers regardless of media channel Combined exposure across TV, Print and Online channels resulted in larger observed increases • This was particularly true for the Print + TV combination, though Print + Digital also resulted in significant lifts in advertising effects Print ad exposures were especially effective at boosting the persuasion metrics – brand favorability and purchase intent • Print also significantly improved the ability of consumers to correctly associate cross-platform ad campaigns with the brands that had sponsored the ads Optimum ad exposure levels vary by channel. While TV and Online show diminishing returns after 4 exposures, Print continues to improve ad awareness and persuasion metrics at higher (5+) frequencies • This suggests that TV and Online channels may be more cost-effective at lower levels of exposure, while advertisers are likely to benefit from higher Print frequencies Print was equally effective among both males & females 8
