Research Findings and a New Way of Measuring Success

Product Placement and Integration are blasting through the strong barriers erected by audiences against traditional advertising and on-demand content. Numerous studies show why traditional or digital advertising on their own may not give brands the results they need.

The article linked below shares these important studies with you and suggests how to beat the system using both product placement/integration with traditional advertising.

One of those studies features a recent ABX creative effectiveness study on hundreds of TV/OLV ads and 100 product integrations for a major global entertainment company, (Brand X).

The study showed TV spots scored higher for Brand Recall while Product Integration scored higher on See Again.  The rest of the KPIs were not statistically different. Brand Recall for product integration is lower, perhaps because of its subtle integration into programming.

Gary Getto, President of ABX, explains, “In testing creative globally, we can see how product integration compares to ads or promotions in other media types and determine its effectiveness across a range of KPIs … quickly and affordably.”
