Testing Video Pre-Roll Ads

Pre-roll video media context

A video pre-roll format is used to test pre-roll video ads (such as You Tube*.) Ads are exposed prior to media content in three video 'pods'. Ads may be skippable or non-skippable.

The video content which follows the ads is sourced from a variety of places, and to the extent it is possible, we seek to match the video content to the demographic group recruited for the survey.

Survey flow

• Brand equity measures (pre)
• Ad exposure in media context
• Unaided category recall
• Unaided brand recall
• Aided ad recall
• Aided ad message, persuasion
• Brand equity measures (post)

Brand lift scores

All Brand Chek surveys begin and end with the same four brand equity rating questions. The chage in brand equity rating scores from pre to post-ad exposure provides a brand lift for each score. There are four equity areas evaluated in the brand lift scores:

• familiarity with brand
• impression of brand
• interest in brand commmunication
• interest in purchasing brand

Ad recall scores

All Brand Chek surveys evaluate several recall factors directly after ads have been exposed. There are two recall questions which are not aided by showing the ads(category, brand), and three recall questions which are aided by a partially obstructed version of the ad:

• category recall (unaided)
• brand recall (unaided)
• partial ad execution recall
• partial ad brand recall
• partial ad category recall

Ad persuasion scores

All Brand Chek surveys evaluate several persuasion factors after ads have been exposed. There are five questions focused on communication, feelings, and interest. Each question is aided by showing a full (unobstructed) version of the ad:

• main message of ad
• feelings about ad
• product interest based on ad
• desire to learn more based on ad
• desire to purchase based on ad
