The document analyzes data from over 500 econometric campaigns to determine the effectiveness of print media in integrated media plans. It finds that newspapers and magazines can increase campaign effectiveness and revenue ROI when used optimally, with newspapers most effective between 5-12% of budget for FMCG and over 17% for services, and magazines over 4% for services. Door drops and direct mail also see higher ROI at larger budget shares.

WHAT IS META ANALYSIS?
META ANALYSIS is the “analysis of individual analysis results”, pooled
and re-analysed so as to gain deeper insights from wider experience.
Using the BrandScience results vault of previous econometric model studies,
we can:
• Understand how different print media deliver for clients across different categories
• Understand how different print media affect the performance of a campaign
• Identify the rules to improve the use of print media in future campaigns
3. OBJECTIVES

WHICH RESULTS CAN BE GENERATED?
• Typically return on investment (ROI) measures the
incremental profit generated by €1 investment
• Reported in ROI; sales generated from €1
invested, medium by medium
• So a €1 ROI means that €1 invested in media will
generate €1 incremental profit return. A higher
than €1 ROI means immediate payback of the
investment
• However, the BrandScience Results Vault
measures Revenue ROI (RROI) as it is often hard
to get profitability information from clients
• So, a €5 RROI means each €1 invested in
advertising delivers €5 of incremental revenue
• Effectiveness of newspapers
magazines, direct mail and door drops
• Compare the effectiveness of these
print media to other media
• Consider the impact that the weight of
print media has on its effectiveness
and overall campaign effectiveness
• Understand how this has changed
over time

METHODOLOGY OF THE META ANALYSIS
Meta analysis is the “analysis of individual
analysis results”, pooled and re-analysed
so as to gain deeper insights from wider
experience
Using the BrandScience results vault of previous
econometric model studies as our universe it is
possible to:
• Understand how different print media deliver for
clients across different categories
• Understand how different print media affect the
performance of a campaign
• Identify the rules to improve the use of print media
in future campaigns
Market mix modelling is a statistical method
for examining the relationship between one
dependent variable and a set of several
explanatory variables
• Originally used to analyse the economy, now to
analyse marketing mix
• Create a formula or recipe for your sales:
• Sales = C + X*Distribution + Y*Price + Z*Market
trend + W*Advertising + …
• Help understand all the factors driving sales (not
just communications), not just factors under your
control
