Case Study
T-Mobile Reaches the Light TV Viewer on Google and YouTube
the rundown
As people begin to split their TV time between broadband and broadcast, marketers have to experiment with new strategies to reach these viewers online. T-Mobile teamed up with Google, YouTube and the Nielsen TV & Online Panel to measure their campaign effectiveness and found that TV wasn’t reaching 80% of their audience, while YouTube provided 24% reach with only 12% of the budget.
The Goals
- Prove YouTube + the GDN are complementary to TV
- Prove YouTube + the GDN reach people TV doesn't
- Show YouTube + the GDN provide effective frequency to those TV doesn't
The Approach
- Establish Nielsen TV panel group exposed to TV ad
- Create Nielsen online panel group exposed to YouTube/GDN ad
The Results
