tvWORKS
ITV’s tvWORKS project is a long-term consumer study into the effect television advertising has on sales. 3000 homes were given set-top meters to record viewing on each of their television sets. They were also given a bar scanner to capture all FMCG purchases over the period. This unique single-source research was conducted independently by TNS. Advertisers also could, and did, do their own analysis separately from ITV.
Three years of UK-wide data delivered information on over 5 million purchase occasions – and significantly concrete evidence on how these purchase decisions were influenced by television advertising. This research proves that television advertising can give brands the x-factor, turning them into shop stars.
