NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Mar 7, 2016) - TiVo Research, a subsidiary of TiVo Inc (NASDAQ: TIVO) and 84.51 , a customer engagement consultancy, today released the results of a study that showed when 15 Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) brands cut their TV advertising budgets, the majority lost a much greater amount in sales year-over-year.
Each participating media brand chose five consumer brands that had lowered their TV advertising spend between 2013 and 2014 to see the year-over-year impact. The results clearly showed reducing TV spend leads to reduced exposure and sales/ROI effectiveness.
The study, conducted by 84.51 in partnership with TiVo Research and media properties including A E Networks the global media company with top brands such as A&E, HISTORY and Lifetime; and global media company Turner, home to a portfolio of leading entertainment, kids, news and sports media brands. The study found that for 11 of the 15 CPG brands analyzed, sales returns dropped by a combined $94 million when TV spend was cut year-over-year. This accounted for 69% of the 2013 incremental sales attributed to TV advertising. In 2014, the average on-air brand was reaching only 25% of its purchasers in an average week (down from 35% in 2013), leaving 75% open to competition.
Additional Study Results:
All 15 brands posted reach declines, and nearly all brands that decreased spending also saw a decrease in return.
For every dollar decline in ad spend, the 11 brands lost 3x that amount in return. The correlation was disproportionate in favor of higher TV spend.
Reduced ad spend resulted in reach and frequency declines for 11 of the 15 brands, which led to the drop in sales/ROI.
In todays multi-screen content universe, consumer brands are reallocating advertising dollars to digital spend, however, our research found that TV advertising is more effective than ever, said Betsy Rella, Vice President, Research, TiVo Research. This study confirms a direct link between TV advertising spend and ROI for brand advertisers.
We see marketers constantly struggling to find the most effective advertising media, with many cutting their TV advertising efforts, said Nishat Mehta, Head of Brands, 84.51 . We wanted to better understand the effects of changes in TV spend. These results will help the industry make more informed decisions about optimizing their media planning.
While advertisers are evaluating new and different ad tools and platforms, some TV budgets have shifted without the benefit of fully understanding the effects and quantifying the value of those shifts, said Mel Berning, President - Chief Revenue Officer, A E Networks. Among all the platforms in which media companies can engage and integrate advertisers, this study has further proven that television continues to provide both better return on investment and accountability for our ad partners.
Our interest in this study stemmed from concerns over the extent to which some brands were reallocating television budgets to digital platforms, and that they would lose dramatic amounts of sales attributed to TV, which likely would not be made up in digital, said Howard Shimmel, Chief Research Officer, Turner. The study proved our first concern true, being that the brands studied lost three dollars in sales for every dollar moved out of television. We will work with TiVo Research to further address our secondary concern, how the ROI of digital compares to TV, and whether digital can make up for the loss in sales attributed to TV.

Methodology
The TiVo Research study, in partnership with 84.51 , was based on a combined data stream of 84.51 s in-store sales with TiVo Researchs viewing data for over 2 million households. Both data panels are combined to create an anonymized matched panel of over 400K households with both exposure and purchase data, providing a single source view of the consumer. The two panels are matched via Experian, which connects the information from 84.51 and TiVo anonymously on the backend.
