Stages of Advertising and Brand Development Stage 1: Consumers are aware of your brand and remember your ads Stage 2: Consumers recognize your message and specifically relate it to you Stage 3: Consumers develop feelings toward your brand, and they compare your brand to others Stage 4: Trust develops and consumers plan to visit, purchase, or take other action Stage 5: Consumers purchase and prefer your brand over all others—developing loyalty and long-term relationships Number of Individuals Unaided and Aided Awareness & Ad Recall Message Association Increasing Complexity and Value Brand Attitudes & Favorability Intent Preference
Key Findings • Overall, the campaign was very effective at building awareness metrics and persuading consumers to be more favorable towards the movie • Respondents became more top of mind aware that Knocked Up comes out June 1, more aware of the movie and of recent online advertising, more likely to associate the director as the director of The 40-Year-Old Virgin and more favorable towards the movie • In addition, exposure to the campaign made consumers more likely to agree with every attribute about Knocked Up • Frequency of exposure played an important role in the success of the campaign • 3-4 Exposures were needed to significantly increase all of the Brand Metrics and Attributes, including Purchase Intent • Respondents in both the primary and secondary age group targets experienced multiple significant increases in the metrics and attributes • Females were most influenced by the campaign, as seen through significant increases in every Brand Metric and Attribute • Respondents who see movies at least once a month or a few times a year were most influenced by the campaign as seen through multiple Brand Metric and Attribute increases • Though they did not experience any significant increases, respondents who see movies at least once a week had very high baselines • Defamer drove more significant increases than Gawker, though both media properties drove multiple Brand Metric and Attribute increases
Recommendations • The campaign was very successful at building the Knocked Up brand during a short time frame • Campaigns for brands like movies have a unique challenge since the campaigns run for a short time, ending when the movie is released in the theater. This campaign was successful at enhancing knowledge about Knocked Up and positively persuading people • Campaigns that are very successful at increasing brand metrics often contain the following creative qualities: • Consistent and prominent logo placement in all frames of animation • If a consumer is visiting a site and only glances at the creative for a moment, marketers should ensure that the marketing opportunity is not wasted • If the logo is too small, people may not be able to see if, especially if viewing the site on a small computer such as a laptop • In vertical units, such as a skyscraper, place the logo at the top of the ad. If a consumer does not scroll down to the bottom of the unit, the branding opportunity may still be successful • Simple and concise messaging that highlights the value proposition of the brand • Messaging that is clever and cryptic and designed to entice people to click does not always lead to strong brand metric increases

Media Analysis: Brand Metrics Significant decrease at 90% confidence Significant increase at 90% confidence • Both media properties contributed to the success of the campaign • Defamer outperformed Gawker, driving additional increases in Purchase Intent and a Brand Attribute
Creative Size Significant decrease at 90% confidence Significant increase at 90% confidence • Due to sample size limitations, the analysis could not isolate the effect of one exposure to the campaign, so the results show all creative sizes to be effective • There is overlap between the various creative groups
Creative Placement Significant decrease at 90% confidence Significant increase at 90% confidence • All of the creative placements except Run of Network were effective at increasing all of the Brand Metrics and Attributes • However, since the analysis could not isolate the effect of one exposure to the campaign, the groups are likely to be cross contaminated
