Four car brands take part in ThinkTV study
Four automotive brands will take part in the second phase of ThinkTV's study into media return on investment, Payback Australia. The manufacturers will each provide three years of raw campaign and sales data to Ebiquity to assess which channels provided the greatest ROI. The brands have an advertising budget of more than $80 million annually and include a mix of large and smaller manufacturers. Results are expected in May, providing quantitative insights into the effectiveness of the local automotive category’s $700 million-plus annual media spend.
