Warburtons Ad Testing Vision One — It’s time to get things started with Warburtons and The Muppets! Warburtons teamed up with the Muppets to produce The Giant Crumpet Show – and Vision One’s ad testing tool (AdProbe) reveals that this creative combination really is quite sensational and inspirational! Drawing on the fun, zany humour of the Muppets, Warburtons’ advertising hits viewers’ funny bones, strikes a positive emotional punch, and inspires them to buy Giant Crumpets on their next shopping trip. Developed as part of a £25 million campaign to launch the new product, The Giant Crumpet Show advert was recently rated by Millward Brown as the UK’s favourite Christmas TV ad in 2015. But what is the recipe of its success? The Giant Crumpet Show successfully grabs viewers’ attention and gives them a show – and a brand – to remember. The Warburtons name and product are integral throughout the advert. This results in a high degree of brand-name memorability or ‘stickiness’ – making Warburtons one of the best-performing branded TV advertising executions that Vision One has tested to date. AdProbe measures the overall performance of advertising on the 5 key metrics: Branding, Buzz, Stickiness, Emotion and Reaction. These metrics are proven to drivers of advertising effectiveness. The…

What's on your bucket list Vision One — They used to say that life begins at 40. Now, it seems, that life actually begins at 61, given the fact that new London market research [link] has shown that the over-50s appear to be a really rather adventurous lot – something brands might want to consider when marketing their products to this demographic. A survey from Co-op Funeralcare and Co-op Legal Services has revealed the bucket list for this age group [link], with the top five must-do activities being made up of travelling the country they live in, seeing the Northern Lights, travelling the world, tracing their family tree and paying off all their debt. Other keen interests for those over the age of 50 include going on a cruise, taking up a new hobby, learning a new language, riding in a hot air balloon, moving to the countryside, publishing a novel, meeting their life partner, quitting smoking, living abroad and learning to play a musical instrument. “There’s plenty still on the bucket list as people reach their 50s and beyond and as they start meet more of these life goals, happiness really does increase with age. Life is unpredictable and whilst there are lots of barriers that get…
