Ad Testing Methodology
During the game, the Super Bowl ads were inserted into an on-line survey and sent to thousands of study participants. Participants answered questions regarding their perceptions of the ads using various parameters, including breakthrough, emotion, memorability and “word of mouth” impact of the ads. They also utilized an on-line dial testing system to indicate their levels of interest in the form of curves as they watched the ads.
