What makes a good ad?
The foundations of good advertising hold true:
Winning ads reveal the themes powering effective creative
Kantar's validated ad testing solutions determine each ad's ability to contribute to brand equity and drive sales. In 2022, four themes set apart the most effective ads in Southeast Asia:
Katie McClintock, Managing Director Southeast Asia at Kantar, said: "Our Kantar Creative Effectiveness Awards clearly demonstrate that advertising has a bigger role to play than just informing consumers of available products and services. We often talk about the foundations of good advertising: be distinctive, brand intrinsically, be meaningfully different, trigger an emotional response, and listen to your consumers. These are simple imperatives, but tough to get right. Advertising needs to be cleverly conceived, but also needs to be kept simple and differentiated from the competition. Brands that stand out use technology to understand what motivates consumers and what makes a brand memorable to stay on top of industry trends."
She adds: "The key to ensure advertising thrives in a multichannel, digital-led environment is fast, effective consumer feedback together with the integration of advanced analytics and automation into the creative process to better understand ad effectiveness."
Juliano Piccoli, Client Partner Creative & Media at Kantar in Singapore comments: "The award-winning ads show that effectiveness should be the goal for all advertisers, whatever format or sector. Winning ads from brands, including Heineken, Nestle, Lego and many more, have vastly different creative approaches, but all represent the highest quality in effective campaigns. This is crucial, as our latest analysis found that the most creative and effective ads generate more than four times as much profit. Testing creative effectiveness should be business as usual for marketers. Still, it is especially important when brands want maximum impact for their budget during economic uncertainty."
