Control - Exposed to TV ad only


Objectives:

  • To analyse the effectiveness of running a cinema campaign alongside a TV campaign for Neutrogena Visibly Refined Moisturiser.

Results:

  • Recall was much higher amongst cinemagoers, 71% recalled the ad compared to only 61% in the control group.
  • Recall was even higher for those cinemagoers who were exposed to the poster advertising in the cinema foyer, 81% of this group recalled the ad.
  • 74% of cinemagoers who recalled the ad could correctly describe it, achieving almost twice the depth of message as the control TV only group.
  • Cinemagoers remembered more detail from the ad, this was particularly true for those exposed to cinema sixes.
  • Cinemagoers understood the ad more easily, for example 78% agreed that ‘it's all you need to keep your skin looking good' compared to 69% in the control group.
  • 39% of cinemagoers said they were very likely or fairly likely to purchase the product, compared to only 31% of the control group.
