In 2018, we successfully launched Sponsorship 982 which showed how ITV Sponsorships drive awareness, consideration and double a brand’s share of voice.
In 2022, we wanted to go one step further by analysing our rich ITV sponsorship norms dataset to unearth the significant relationships between the metrics we measure and identify those that are the key drivers success.
The approach
We partnered with Colourtext, experts in advertising data analytics, to deliver ITV’s biggest ever sponsorship study to provide new key insights for advertisers.
The results from the multi-dimensional analysis revealed the complex network of relationships and influences that exist between the many brand and creative metrics at play within an ITV Sponsorship campaign. The research identified the 3 dimensions that had the biggest impact on success.
