ROI Data

In a new blog post, WESTWOOD ONE writes, “In the past, consumer packaged goods (CPG) ROI case studies for AM/FM radio were focused on snacks or food products. Now, for the first time, in partnership with NIELSEN CATALINA SOLUTIONS (NCS), WESTWOOD ONE is unveiling results from a men’s personal care brand sales effect study.”

WESTWOOD ONE Pres. and CUMULUS MEDIA EVP/Marketing SUZANNE GRIMES notes, “WESTWOOD ONE has been very vocal that AM/FM radio delivers an impressive return on investment for brand marketers. Today, we back that statement up with a NCS study for a major personal care brand, which shows a $12 return on advertising spend for every dollar of AM/FM radio advertising.

Using an advanced methodology, NCS can connect NIELSEN’s gold-standard Radio Ratings data with shopper data to understand what advertising households were exposed to and how it impacted their purchasing.

“Using this information, NIELSEN can give a clear picture of sales impact driven by the AM/FM radio campaign and those who were not. The men’s personal care brand AM/FM radio campaign ran from MARCH 2017 through SEPTEMBER 2017. Here’s what NIELSEN CATALINA SOLUTIONS found:
