METHODOLOGY

↘ CENTRAL AIM of the research was to assess the „current state of affairs” of the Advertising Community in

Romania on three of its main branches: Media, Digital and ATL.

This aim was attained by measuring key relevant parameters within the following dimensions:

A Perception elements – or how is the main corpus of Clients perceiving the active entities from the

Advertising Community: i.e. awareness, “usage”, satisfaction, key traits etc.

B Usage and attitudes elements – what are the key working habits of the Clients into what regards

collaboration with companies within the Advertising Community: i.e. criteria for agency selection, motives

to cease collaboration, pitch habits, budgets etc.

C Participant company relevant descriptors – e.g. active market domains / industry branch, turnover, number

of active brands etc.

[≡] Please note that this report focuses on the ATL branch of the Advertising Community.

↘ RESEARCH DESIGN

Methodology:

Business to Business approach, semi-structured interview, deployed face to face (PAPI) by field executives using

a custom made printed questionnaire

Category: relevant data incumbents from companies that have been clients for the Media Advertising Agencies

INSTRUMENT

Custom made questionnaire focused on ATL Agencies build to measure all elements established as objectives.

The questionnaire has 47 items. Average interview duration on this questionnaire (ATL section only) was 25

minutes.

5 www.ddresearch.ro

SAMPLE

The participants were 133 individuals in charge of the media communication activities in 122 commercial

companies that had had this type of activities in 2013.

The general approach to the sample universe was the following:

we decided that all spenders on advertising media in 2013 are relevant

we also decided that these spenders also needed to be active in 2013

observing the criteria above from public and private sources we have compiled a list of companies

DATA GATHERING

The field approach was a complex challenging B2B process:

many of the relevant participants were either reluctant or simply lacked the time to involve in the study

a significant part of the refusals to participate were not explicit and were masked behind typical “business”

excuses

both of the above meant that a large part of the initial universe sample list required at least 7 contact

points (mails or phones) until a resolution was achieved

furthermore even in those conditions the initial response rate was very low, bellow 10% so personal

interventions from the research company seniors were needed to boost that figure
