Effective ad outcome is 50% creative, 50% media buying: Kantar
"Brands tend to focus more on media buying, whereas our research shows that 50% of the outcome is due to the creative quality, 25% is due to reach, 16% is due to the frequency and 9% is due to data synergy. Both creativity and media are important for making a campaign successful," said said Soumya Mohanty, managing director of Kantar's Insights Division in South Asia.
