At the Advertising Research Foundation’s (ARF) 2011 annual re:think convention, a key issues forum presentation was held entitled CONSUMER –BRAND RELATIONS IN A 360° WORLD. The panelists used the example of Dove Campaign for Men in order to compare research programs to research projects, and measure cross media platforms using techniques such as logit regression. Panelist included, Tomas Emmers-Director of Consumer and Market Insights at Unilever, William Pink-Partner, Client Solutions at Millward Brown, & Jennifer Kelly-Client Consultant at Dynamic Logic. The panel was moderated by Jim Figura-VP, Global Consumer Insights at Colgate-Palmolive Co.

5. Introduction of Dove for Men
An Integrated 360 Campaign
• January of 2010, Dove introduce its new line of
Men’s personal wash
– Phased approach, initially aiming to raise awareness among women
and later targeting men through a Super Bowl sponsorship and
subsequent male-targeted advertising
– The specific media included TV advertising, print placements, and
online banner and videos
Dove’s Integrated Media Plan
January 11-April 30
6. Introduction of Dove for Men
Unique Challenges
• Potential barrier of Dove’s history as a brand
for women
– The strategy of the campaign to position Dove Men-Care
as a brand for men was explicitly working against Dove’s
own brand history as a brand for women
• The campaign included a massive, non-
repeatable investment in sponsorship of the
Super Bowl
– Isolating the effect of the sponsorship, while
understanding what the other media contributed,
was critical
7. Approaching Cross Media Measurement
Research Programs Instead of Research Projects
• Measurement of 360° multi media campaigns is a
business imperative, yet we still wrestle with
deciding which of the many research tools are
ideally suited for this
– How can we best incorporate broad reach media and low
reach, targeted media in the same research?
– How can we ensure we are being media neutral, especially
when the media are delivered simultaneously?
8. Approaching Cross Media Measurement
Research Programs Instead of Research Projects
• Too often we approach cross media evaluation
through independent research projects
– Lots of noise talking past each other about the values of
brand tracking, cross media research, ROI modelling, etc.
• Research solutions all have their own benefits and
drawbacks, but when brought together to measure
a campaign they tell a very powerful story
– The insights generated by these tools complement each
other and provide combined insights that far surpass what
they can answer individually
9. Evaluating the Success of the Launch
First Principles of our Research Program
• We need both a WIDE lens to look across
multiple media as well as a DEEP lens to look to
within particular media
• Different media work differently to achieve
different objectives
• Whenever possible, we compare findings against
prior launches and databased results
10. Evaluating the Success of the Launch
Research Program Analytic Techniques
• Upfront creative • Matched cell comparisons
evaluations before launch of like consumers exposed
• Ongoing tracking to ensure to the campaign
we understood consumer • Logit regressions to identify
perceptions before, during marginal contributions and
and after launch diminishing returns with
• Cross media research to increased frequency
understand the unique • Structural equation models
and synergistic effects to estimate direct and
of the media indirect effects of the
• Digital deep dive to see campaign, and drive
which sites and creatives scenario testing
were working

drove incremental impacts more consistently than

Differently at Distinct Frequency Levels
● The marginal effects of TV and Print to awareness are greater than online and are
maximized at lower frequency levels

17. Scenario Testing: Removing the Super Bowl
Would Drop Unaided Brand Awareness
• Keeping the Super Bowl in conjunction with magazines showed potential
to help grow salience
• Changes to Non-Super Bowl TV resulted in minimal change to key metrics,
again suggesting cross-channel exposure was important for males

insure optimization
• We will continue to drive for men association with
functional messaging
• Drive Branding in the very cluttered environment
• A big splash with effective assets is critical to
jump start
