Understanding reactions to a smartphone ad before launch

Background and Objectives

A leading smartphone manufacturer developed a new television advertisement for a product and wanted to assess its effectiveness before launching it in the market. The objective was to pre-test the ad to ensure that it resonated with the target audience and effectively communicated the product benefits.

Research Methodology

The survey was conducted online using Enumerate AI's proprietary methodology and included questions about the advertisement's messaging, creative execution, and overall effectiveness.

Findings

The survey found that the advertisement was well-received by the target audience. A majority of respondents found the ad to be memorable and found it to be emotionally appealing. Additionally, over 3/4th of the respondents claimed to have picked up new information.

However, the survey also identified several areas for improvement. Some respondents felt that the advertisement was too long and could be shortened. Others felt that the product benefits could be more clearly communicated, and some felt that the ad did not resonate with their personal values or beliefs.

Conclusion and Recommendations

Based on the findings, we recommended several changes to the advertisement before launching it in the market. These included shortening the ad and focusing on the key product benefits in the messaging. The creative execution was also revised to make it more distinctive and memorable.

We also recommended conducting follow-up research after the ad had been launched to assess its impact on brand awareness and purchase intent.
