Marketing effectiveness research enables you to measure how well your marketing communications break through the noise, engage the target audience, drive activity and increase business momentum. Marketing messages appear just about everywhere (SmartPhone apps, billboards, bumper stickers, radio, TV, Internet websites, banner advertisements, online/print articles, news releases, the guy on the corner waving the sign announcing a sale, team apparel sponsorships… you get the idea). And, often are not recognized as brand/corporate marketing/messaging. Some corporate messages are a result of a large investment that is controlled carefully to ensure the message delivered is desirable and relevant to the target audience. Other messages may be the result of little or no investment, but break through and capture customers’ attention because they are funny, quirky, ridiculous, or in some other way memorable. Some messages achieve national coverage while others are more locally based. The shared commonality across all forms of marketing messaging is the desire to capture your attention even if only for a few seconds, and to make an impression, even if subconscious, so that you will remember and seek out the company/brand when the need arises.
