Time will tell, won’t it ?
Why one minute media consumption does not equal
one minute consumption of another medium
when it comes to advertising efficiency
Obviously in a given day (or week),
time spent differs from one medium to another

… does it make sense ?
An American survey first analysed this:
what is the advertising efficiency of exactly the
same time allocated to 3 different media ?
This is what we called the first « 30 minutes survey »

30 minutes of usual media consumption
in a controlled environment

Recall @ end of the experiment
Source: Mc Pheters, Rebecca,. and Mc Donald, Scott, “Time-based comparisons of media effectiveness: a new approach”
in Worldwide Readership Research Symposium Valencia 2009 Session papers, WRRS, 2009,
* Recall of “fake” ads (ie that were not in the content the respondents actually saw).
Sep 2010, a comparable experiment was conducted in Belgium
by Ant Research (now Aqrate) with the same
30 minutes consumption by 3 groups of
qualified users (± 100 each) aged 18-64 years. Media included were
TV,Internet and newspapers. Survey
conducted indoors, in Brussels & Antwerp, with a
50/50 language breakdown Dutch vs
French speaking.
Respondents were recruited via the Internet panel but had to come to the places
where the survey was conducted.
3 groups
30 minutes of media consumption…
• Popular TV shows (each respondent selected one in 3)
with 3 ad breaks (before, after, and centre) with 4 ads
each, all recently broadcast on Belgian TV
• Surfing on sites (no email, no blogs, chats or social
networks). Ads captured « live » during their surfing
session.
• Reading of any newspaper title from the Scripta selection
(47% of total circulation). Video recorded. Ads
preselected.
…and then a self-completed questionnaire
on ads they had seen (or not seen: there were 4
they had the opportunity to see & 4 fake
ones), spontaneous & aided recall.

Results presented as the US survey
US or Belgium, similar conclusions
TV
• Gross recall (net+incorrect) almost
identical
• Less confusion, so net recall higher in
BE
Newsp-
Magazines
• Not the same medium, but print
« second best »
• Same behavioural engagement pattern
for newpapers & magazines  least
confusion between ads
Web
• Better recall in Belgium (lower clutter)
• Highest confusion (incorrect recall).
Least potent of the tested 3 when it
comes to ad efficiency.
Source for US : Mc Pheters, and Mc Donald, Scott, 2009 (see above)
Was the experiment free of bias or
external determinations ?
Surely not. Just see which ones.
Do the protocol make sense especially compared to
« real life conditions » ?
Hence, can we accept the findings ?

Multi-tasking also affects print, but it is a strong support for ads
Few external determinations: results may be
considered « pure enough »
But it is definitely a « lab experiment »: real life
conditions are not fully comparable
Nevertheless: time won’t tell anything. The art for
media is to create opportunities (time may help…)
but above all to transform these opportunities into
persuasive consumer experiences
Hence, time devoted to media is not and will never
be a robust base for ad budget allocations.
