A First Look at the Link Between Copy Testing and Brand Equity: New Findings From Next*TV and Equity*Builder
Copy testing for many years has focused questions such as whether consumers remember the ad. What did it communicate? How did they react to it? Were they persuaded? These measures help us understand if the advertising causes short-term sales effects. But recent learning has shown that the major contribution of advertising may be to long-term effects including brand equity. So there has been a gap between what is measured and what advertising actually does for a brand. Ipsos ASI is closing that gap by integrating learning from our validated Equity*Builder system into Next*TV. This presentation will present some early findings from this breakthrough work and show how copy testing can be linked to brand equity.
