Quick Overview of ABX Methodology

Each ABX ad is evaluated for 14 distinct KPIs grouped into six categories:

• Clear Brand: How certain are you that you know the brand being advertised?
• Message: The ad clearly communicates the product's benefit and the ad was easy to understand.
• Reputation: As a result of this ad, your opinion of the company is better / worse / no different.
• Relevance: Is the ad relevant to you?
• Likability: Did you like the ad? Would you like to see the ad again?
• Call to Action: Which of the following actions would you be likely to take as a result of this ad?

The ABX Index is the most important overall advertising effectiveness metric across all media. It is comprised of some of the KPIs above in a proprietary score that has been successfully correlated with sales and improve market mix models by double digits.  The ABX Gender Equality Index™ is included as desired.  All norms for the ABX Index against media types and across industries are updated monthly. Customization is provided as needed.
