Using YouTube to Boost Ad Effectiveness Icon
The objective of this research was to evaluate YouTube as a means of effectively supplementing a heavyweight multi-media campaign, reaching light TV viewers and delivering awareness and image effects.

- The YouTube campaign reached those exposed to the TV campaign fewer times than average, improving not only overall campaign reach but frequency levels amongst lighter TV viewers as well.
- YouTube activity combined with TV exposure resulted in significantly higher image scores, brand value scores and message comprehension.
