Five New Studies Under This Umbrella A deeper look at how Radio works
1) Personal Relevance Two: Radio’s Ad Receptivity
2) Synergy between Radio and Internet 3) Subconscious Engagement (vs. TV)4) How Radio Generates Imagery—by itself5) Applying These Findings to the Creative Process

Learnings from First Personal Relevance Study (2004):• Radio is personal and emotions-driven• Radio ads are expected to be more
relevant General Conclusions
• When Radio ads are created and bought properly…
• They can be very effective at connecting with emotions
• And the radio environment is powerful because listeners expect ads for “their” products
9
Advertisers wanted more… More sample for more drill-downs
• Blacks and Hispanics• Younger and older• Different formats
And more media• Add the Internet to the original
study’s mix of radio, TV, and newspapers
10
National RDD Telephone Study• June-July 2006, about 20 min. long• Randomly selected 2,500+ Adults 18-54• Conducted by Harris Interactive/Wirthlin
Serious Attention to Quality• 37% “true” response rate achieved• Comparable to currency media research• Sample weighted to Census estimates
Extra Efforts for Ethnic Sample• Higher premiums for high-density Black and
Hispanic ZIPs• Bilingual interviewers, Spanish translations

Radio Touches Emotions• Radio affects consumers in more
personal and emotional ways• Consistent with the first Personal
Relevance study…
13
14
Radio ads are expected to be relevant• Reaching who they’re meant for• Reaching you personally
As well as…• For local products/services
See full paper for details …
15
16
Overall: Radio is the medium with the receptive ad environment• It has the strongest emotional
and personal connections with consumers
• With listeners primed to expect ads that are relevant to them
• In an atmosphere where ads are better accepted than in TV or the Internet

Overall: The pattern of high ad receptivity for radio was even stronger for Blacks/African-Americans and Hispanics/Latinos
For example: Ad acceptance for Radio ads was very strong for Blacks and Hispanics, relative to TV and Internet ads

The first two factors were first seen in 2004, and reinforced here.
The third factor emerged in this study.
And applications to Radio and the Internet are new.
23
We think this study suggests that Radio offers a powerful ad environment with unique strengths.
However…
Advertisers and ad producers need to apply these learnings to get full benefit.
That includes:• Planning• Creating• Testing• Buying

25
Radio and the Internet connect with consumers differently• See Personal Relevance Two• Radio ads make more emotional
connection• Internet has a more informational
function for consumers• Therefore: Different ways for ads
to break through in each medium
Similar findings in work done by RAB-IAB/UK
26
Radio and the Internet have unique Reach patterns…
And that can make them a potent Reach combination…
27See full paper for similar data on Young Adults and Teens…
28
Simultaneous Usage• Radio is often used
simultaneously with the Internet
• Especially during the day• And across all demos• TV simultaneous usage is
high, too, but that may have different implications for advertisers
29See full paper for similar data on Young Adults and Teens…
30
Numerous reasons to see potential advertising synergy between Radio and the Internet
And many media people believe in mixed-media campaigns…
What’s missing?• Evidence of how a mixed
Radio/Internet campaign actually works…

Conducted Late 2006 with Harris Interactive Inc.
32
Two Test Groups• Two exposures to an Internet ad,
compared to…• One exposure to an Internet ad + One
exposure to a Radio ad for the same product
…Or…
33
Online study with Harris Interactive web panel• 800 Adults 18-54 per test group
“Evaluation” of website content and radio programs• Choice of six types of each
Embedded within: One of eight actual ad campaigns• Corresponding Radio/Web content• Web ads: Mixture of static images, animated images,
and Flash• Radio ads: All 30s, three with actual website mentions
34
Recall metrics• Unaided recall: First question, no
prompting; “What brands did you see or hear advertised?”
• Aided recall: Second question, with assistance: “Which of the following brands did you see or hear advertised?”
We saw striking and consistent effects…

37
In the full paper, you’ll see these same patterns repeated across:• Age groups• Gender• Race/Ethnicity• Education Level• And even across all eight campaigns…

39
Branding—the recall of brand names—was consistently higher with a mix of Radio and Internet
The improvements were large, statistically significant, and widespread
Clearly, the potential for better marketing communications exists with a combination of Radio and Internet advertising
40
Five of the eight brands showed greater impact with a Radio/Internet mix on Website Visitation and Purchase Likelihood
Four of those five brands also showed better Radio Mix results on Aspirational Fit and Emotional Connection (like/love the brand)
See the full paper for detailed data on all measures…

Radio and the Internet can be powerful advertising complements.
Whether the goal is to reach more people, or to reach them with greater impact, this combination of media seems to be a recipe that’s worthy of more consideration.

First study with Gallup & Robinson Subconscious Engagement (vs. TV)
• Continuous Emotional Response Analysis (CERA) measures positive and negative physiological responses
• Developed through intensive research at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
G&R’s RAEL project• Compare emotional engagement results for a group
of matching Radio and TV commercials, in media context
• Results in about three months

More on Personal Relevance (Black and Hispanic)
Other Personal Relevance Findings• Relevance by Format• Relevance by Age• Relevance by Gender
49
Overall: The pattern of high ad receptivity for radio was even stronger for Blacks/African-Americans and Hispanics/Latinos
One sample: The ad-relevance factors by race and ethnicity…

51
By Age Group, Blacks and Hispanics showed some differences in their perceptions of advertising
“Relevance” was a bit stronger 35+ But the acceptance of advertising
was still highest for radio regardless of age…

All radio formats showed strong overall ad receptivity• We asked respondents to pick the format
that described the station they listen to most
• One interesting comparison: Ad acceptance by format, vs. TV and the Internet…

57
Across discrete age cells:• Some differences in absolute value
– 35-44’s tended to score higher on relevance factors
• But radio always showed the same receptivity profile compared to other media
• One interesting example: Ad tolerance among 18-24s…
58
Radio ads are better accepted
even among 18-24s

59
No statistically significant differences for men and women on advertising questions• No differences on ad relevance
factors• No differences on ad acceptance
factors
But radio does trigger slightly different emotional connections…
60
Emotional connections are a little
stronger for Women. But they’re still
high for Men.
