The IPA TouchPoints Initiative: Lynne Robinson, Research Director, IPA Iceland: 26th October 2006
Contents • Why we undertook the project • How we defined it • The execution • The business plan • What it has delivered so far • The future • TouchPoints for Iceland?
IPA TouchPoints:Why • New Communications Reality: • Power of single media declining • Consumers increasingly in control • All industry research, single media based • Need to know more than numbers • Credibility gap for clients
IPA TouchPoints: What? • Qualitative study of agency planning directors • What they thought of current industry tools? • What tools they thought they would need to operate effectively in the future? • Could any of these tools be provided by IPA? Not much Lots Yes
IPA TouchPoints: Requirement “A tool which evaluates mixed media schedules, both for planning and post campaign evaluation”
IPA TouchPoints: Remit • To deliver new and fresh insights in its own right • To act as a gateway across data sources • NOT to act as an alternative to current industry research
The IPA TouchPoints Survey Proprietary Data The IPA TouchPoints Hub Survey
Deliverable 1 A time based study of how consumers spend their time: - where - with whom - main activities - media usage and attitudes - mood - lifestyles and attitudes - shopping habits
Deliverable 2 The first, industry available, multi-media planning system.
How – the Hub Survey • Undertaken by TNS • 5,000 sample of adults in GB • Used range of TNS access panels • Telephone recruitment, postal delivery and return • £20 incentive
How – Hub research design • Television • Radio • Press • Outdoor • Cinema • Online • SMS • Event Sponsorship • Direct Marketing • Lifestyles/ Attitudes • Shopping
How – Hub research design By half hour: • Where were you? • Who were you with? • What were you doing? • And were you doing any of these? • (media consumption) • Mood At the end of the day: • Cinema going • Advertising mail • Telemarketing calls received • Commercial text messages received
How – Integration Process • Undertaken by RSMB • Integration of industry currencies onto the Hub • Using one-on-one fusion where possible • Maintaining industry definition of commercial contact
The Business Plan: The Challenges • How to ensure such a large project was: • Adequately funded • Structured to run efficiently
Why the IPA? • Stated requirement by IPA Media Futures Group • ‘Too’ expensive for agencies to undertake individually on a proprietary basis • Needed to be ‘industry’ • IPA’s role within: • agency world • industry media research
The Operation • Created a small group of agencies/media owners to act as founding partners: • - guarantee the cost • - develop the technical solution
Founding Sponsors Agencies (IPA MFG) Initiative MediaCom Mediaedge: CIA Media Planning Group MindShare OMD UK PHD Media Ltd Starcom MediaVest Universal McCann Vizeum ZenithOptimedia Media Owner AOL (UK) Ltd BBC Chrysalis Radio J C Decaux The Guardian ITV News International smgACCESS Tesco Media Services Wanadoo
Media Owners ROI • Growing cross-media ownership • A tool which would give them a viewpoint on total budget allocation • Bring them closer to their customers • Link-in with their proprietary tools • Cost effective
Current Status March 2006: Stage 1 – the Hub Survey results released. October 2006: Stage 2 – the Integrated Planning System released.
