Measurement:
Speaking directly to sales results, in a past CPG partnership that integrated into 2,000+ Walmart stores, the partner agency was able to tie our performance/results directly into their MMA modeling to show a more than 9% sales lift compared to other brands and before/after during the life of our promotion at participating retailers. KANTAR/MILLWARD BROWN BRAND SENTIMENT LIFT STUDIES: Speaking to indirect sales indicators like purchase intent and favorability, two of our well known active beer and auto partners commissioned 3rd party studies. The results of the more recent beer study in particular came back with some pretty incredible insights into the efficacy of MAX's creative content. STUDY HIGHLIGHTS: · Content Likability - Nearly 50% higher than benchmark for beer ads · Brand Awareness - 36.8% increase (from 35% to 72%) · Brand Favorability - 8.7% increase (from 39% to 47%) · Purchase Intent - 14.4% increase (from 29% to 43%) More results/studies available upon request.
