6Key Findings
- Overall, the campaign was successful at educating
respondents as awareness, association,
favorability, and consequently intent metrics
increased - Furthermore, brand perceptions were boosted as a
result of the campaign as agreement in all brand
attribute statements significantly increased - Frequency
- Significant increases were attained across the
majority of brand metrics and attributes at 6-10
exposures - Persuasion metric increases maximized at 6-10
exposures however, awareness and brand attribute
agreement levels continued to increase at higher
exposure frequencies - Targets
- The campaign resonated well among early adopters
- Respondents who indicated that they are first to
purchase new hi-tech products showed high levels
of awareness, intent, and attribute agreement - With regards to consumer electronics owned,
increases were seen across all respondent/owner
types - Persuasion metric increases were not significant
among digital camcorder owners - Demographics
- The campaign resonated better among males,
relative to females - Age appears to be an important variable as most
metric and attribute increases are negatively
correlated with age - The campaign performed best among the lowest
income strata, respondents earning 45k or less
annually - Creative
7Recommendations
- Persuasion metric increases were not significant
among digital camcorder ownersfuture campaigns
may benefit from focusing marketing efforts
towards this audience, emphasizing hp
TouchSmarts home movie and video editing
capabilities - Touch-enabled widescreen offers fast, easy
access to your photos, videos and music - Hi-def widescreen for your viewing and editing
pleasure - Also, consider targeting older respondents in
future campaigns as high baselines among the
older age groups indicate strong affinity towards
HP. This generation, however, may be reluctant
to favor new touch-screen technology and need
extra information regarding the benefits of HP
TouchSmart technology. Boosting favorability
among older respondents would likely boost
results within the higher income brackets as
well, as income is positively correlated with
age. - Maximize future branding opportunities by
including the HP TouchSmart logo in every frame
of the creative - Place the HP TouchSmart logo in all frames of
animation and place the logo at the top of the
unit so that it is the first thing to grab
peoples attention, even if the entire unit is
not in eyeshot. If a person only glances at an
ad partially, or for a moment, ensure the
branding opportunity is maximized. This can be
greatly enhanced by large and prominent logo
placement

30Creative Analysis
31Creative Homepage Roadblock Custom Skin (HRCS)
vs. Other (Not HRCS)
- In terms of creative performance, exposure to the
HRCS drove significant increases in ALL the
metrics and attributes, indicating that this was
clearly an effective creative strategy - Due to the recruitment plan required for this
campaign, we were not able to gather individuals
directly from the HRCS units so it is very likely
that many respondents were exposure to other
advertisements in the campaign - Typically, to control for the effect of multiple
exposures, InsightExpress limits the frequency to
one count however, this was not possible in this
case due to low sample sizes of the exp1 segment - Conclusion The HRCS performed very well,
however, other creative units likely contributed
to the impressive increases as well
Significant change at 95 confidence
32Creative Analysis One Exposure
- Optimized Expanding Splashbox Rectangle drove
directional increases in top of mind awareness
and persuasion metrics - Statistical analysis was not possible across the
remaining units due to the low sample size of the
exp1 segment
