Part of Thinkbox's series of free half-day events, ‘Pay Back in the 3rd Age of Television’ took place at the Soho Hotel in London on Friday 19th October.

At the heart of the day was new research commissioned by Thinkbox from PriceWaterhouseCoopers into the long term payback of brand advertising. Using a variety of techniques the research looked at 10 years worth of data to assess the impact on brand preference, price maintenance and market share in seven different product categories including finance, cars and fmcg.

Here you can watch a short film summarizing the event and have a closer look at the presentations.
