Adwatch Methodology
The weekly Adwatch system was established more than 20 years ago to monitor the saliency of television advertising. Because Marketing wanted to avoid simply registering 'morning after' recall, it decided to research commercials a few weeks after they first go on air.
How it works:
- Xtreme Information draws up a list of all new commercials that broke in a particular week (about a month before the research takes place).
- Mediaedge:cia works out the TV ratings of all the commercials on the list.
- Any ads that have had enough exposure (usually about 40 spots a week) are then sent to TNS and researched online among 1000 16- to 64-year-olds in Great Britain who read a brief description of each ad before confirming whether or not they have seen it.
- Marketing puts the information in tabular form and prints the top 20.
