While we certainly assist advertisers and their agencies to work more efficiently together, the role of advertising effectiveness is outside our scope. However, we recently viewed a demonstration of the Neuro-Insight technology which is providing marketers with a more scientific approach to measuring advertising effectiveness. In this edition of the P3 e-news Peter Pynta of Neuro-Insight looks at program and ad break engagement as it relates to media and advertising content. The big questions are…How is it accurately measured? What role does it play in advertising effectiveness? Do all TV program environments deliver on engagement? Not all programs are created equal Neuro-Insight routinely measures the engagement of both media & advertising content to identify key drivers of effectiveness. Their definition of engagement is…”a measure of personal relevance”… a measure associated with specific patterns of brain activity. The following examples demonstrate how engagement is measured across 4 different programs. (2 minutes leading into an ad break, & through a typical ad break itself). More importantly, we look at the relationship between program & ad break engagement. Some programs deliver more sustained levels of momentum through ad breaks than others. Advertisers stand to gain higher impact & effectiveness when their commercials are in programs that deliver sustained levels of ad break engagement. Engagement varies by program AND ad break Program engagement varies dramatically even on similar rating programs. But how does program engagement influence commercial engagement? Chart 1 shows how engagement transfers from program (A & B) into the ad break on a second-by-second basis. Identical commercials were run in both programs, so the different levels of ad break engagement must be due to the program environment.  Chart 2 summarises the average level of engagement in the same program & ad breaks. Whilst program engagement varies, both programs tend to hold a similar level of engagement through the ad break.  Program engagement doesn’t always = ad break engagement It’s often assumed that program engagement automatically means the ad break benefits from a similar level of engagement. We often see a difference between program & ad break, where it appears that some programs have much more sustained levels of “engagement momentum” flowing into the ad break. Again, identical ads were run in both programs. Chart 3 clearly demonstrates this effect. The two lines represent two different programs with very similar levels of program engagement  Chart 4 summarises the transfer of program engagement into the ad break. Whilst both programs delivered the same level of engagement, Program C’s ad break engagement was 16% higher on average.
