AU Reveals Opportunities to Increase Brand Lift and Efficiencies for Coca-Cola

Goals

  • Prove the correlation between high-AU media and incremental brand lift
  • Identify the minimum AU rating that drives the strongest relationship between ad exposures and outcomes
  • Uncover opportunities to reduce advertising waste and cost

Approach

  • Activate Adelaide tag-based analytics to measure AU across display, OLV, and CTV media
  • Partner with Lucid to prove that exposure to higher-AU media drives brand lift
  • Conduct AU Flight Control analysis to identify media quality “sweet spot” for display and OLV placements
  • Leverage Flight Control insights to identify opportunities to shift spend to more efficient sources of attention
