Background

• With clickthrough rates declining, advertisers are questioning the brand building value of internet advertising
• DLKW Dialogue (formerly eBrands) set out to provide unequivocal proof that online advertising builds brands

AdIndex MethodologyAdIndex uses a control-exposed methodology that measures the branding value of online ad campaigns as they run across a site or set of sites. The two groups below are simultaneously sampled and their responses compared.

Since the only statistical difference between
groups A and B is the
presence of the creative,
we can attribute the
lift to the creative
Exposed*
Control*
