These are great brand linkage results, especially for an advertiser that is not in newspapers week in, week out (these results are similar to those achieved by the grocery retailers etc) possibly reflecting Whiska’s consistent use of brand images and colour.
Note: Ad Recognition and Brand Linkage can be affected by weight of campaign and timing of research

message.

Verbatims from respondents clearly show an understanding that the ad is highlighting the
use of real fish and is visually appealing.
Example of verbatim opinions of the ad include:
‘the colours make it stand out‘
‘I love it. It is colourful and easy to remember’
‘I like it, I liked the colour and the idea of the food being as real as a live fish’
‘It brought a smile to my face’
‘It catches the attention largely because of the blaze of pink colour and the cute cartoon
cat face ‘

• This ad demonstrates a lot of creative appeal achieving high scores against all positive creative diagnostic measures
• Its seen as increasing familiarity / understanding and of great interest, but perhaps these scores would improve if tested against a specific sample of pet owners (our sample is broad i.e. Australians 16+)
• This broad sampling is also possibly why Action Map scores are good, but with the success of other measures we would expect to see even higher results• A very appealing ad such as this one, also scoring well for brand
equity metrics generally experiences strong intention for purchase and ‘remember for later’
• This is a good example of an advertiser that does not traditionally use newspapers, cutting through with high visual appeal and strong brand cues

Creation of All Newspaper norms
• Testing of randomly selected newspaper display ads• 5,100 ad observations in total• 40 test ads, 100+ observations per ad• Population representative sample of the five mainland state capitals• Conducted online by Ipsos Media CT, July-August 2008 • Sample size 1,737

Newspapers are a powerful medium to utilise across a broad range of strategic roles.
Six strategic advertising roles have been validated both qualitatively and quantitatively, resulting in the creation of Role Map, one of two proprietary newspaper metrics.
Role Map demonstrates how consumers connect with newspaper advertising across the six roles, comparing the performance of creative against a footprint of all ads tested.

Newspapers are recognised as an effective medium for delivering a Call to Action.
Action Map, the third proprietary newspaper metric, expands on this strategic role to provide an understanding of the types of action a newspaper ad inspires.
Measured via forced exposure, people are asked about the actions they would consider taking (or have taken) as a result of seeing the ad.
New measure introduced in March 2010, norm not yet available.

Another proprietary newspaper metric provides a set of creative diagnostics unique to the attributes of newspaper advertising. They’ve been developed to help identify areas for improvement where results across other brand and advertising measures may require further analysis and interrogation.
