Ad Testing Methodology

During the game, the Super Bowl ads will be inserted into an on-line survey and sent to thousands of study participants.  Participants will answer questions regarding their perceptions of the ads using various parameters, including breakthrough, emotion, memorability and involvement. They will also utilize an on-line dial testing system to indicate their levels of interest as they watch the ads. 

The interest levels will be analyzed in the form of curves to determine which commercials had the highest sustained levels of interest. The curves will be used as part of a metric to calculate and rank the advertisements. The metric will also include a measurement for emotions and an index for “word of mouth” impact of the ads.
