Reach Target Consumers / studies

In this study, Google works with Danone and Havas to measure the impact of YouTube and TV during a Danacol ad campaign.

Key Findings

• The YouTube campaign has proven to be effective even with massive TV coverage and even among older target, such as Danacol's.
• YouTube has been a great complement to TV by reaching consumers with low or non TV exposure, 1 Million of the target audience.
• The YouTube campaign was very cost-efficient both in building reach, and in improving the brand image.

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 results show that even with massive investment in spot TV, advertising on YouTube can improve a campaign's effectiveness.

Key Findings:

• Amongst those who had only been exposed to the campaign via YouTube, uplifts were achieved across KPIs.
  
  
• 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.
