Birra Moretti's brand consideration doubled through podcast sponsorship

Birra Moretti has given its brand a boost through a cross-media campaign. One of the tools used in this campaign was advertising in and around popular podcasts in order to reach as wide an audience as possible. In the podcast "Tip van Jet & Co" (produced by Dag en Nacht Media), Jet van Nieuwkerk and Elise Tijssen discuss the ultimate tips on cooking, food, clothing, and other lifestyle topics, such as relationships and morning routines, in each episode. They currently reach approximately 50,000 listeners per episode. Birra Moretti is one of the sponsors and a partner of the podcast. To measure the effects and results of this medium, Ad Alliance, Dentsu, Dag en Nacht, and Markteffect<span> </span>have joined forces to set up a Podcast Brand Lift Study.<span> </span>This allows both parties to evaluate the partnership in order to use it as effectively as possible. We do this using our own Podcast Advertising Impact Monitor.

Our approach

In the study, we delved into opinions and associations about Birra Moretti by conducting a Podcast Brand Lift Study. A distinction was made between 'the average Dutch person (aged 18 and older) and listeners of the podcast 'Tip van Jet & Co'. The study was conducted using an online questionnaire and included n=200 Dutch people (non-exposed target group) and almost n=1,000 listeners of the sponsored podcast episodes (exposed target group). This provided insight into the results for Birra Moretti on the brand funnel (brand awareness, image, brand consideration, and brand preference) and revealed the recognition and impact of the sponsorship.

Results

The results of the Podcast Advertising Impact Monitor are delivered in a dynamic PowerBI dashboard, which both the podcast creators and Birra Moretti itself can use. The dashboard contains all the results, but also allows users to perform their own analyses, filters, and deep dives.

The results of the study clearly show, among other things, that Birra Moretti's top-of-mind awareness is higher among podcast listeners than among non-listeners. Listeners also have four times (!) higher spontaneous brand awareness than non-listeners, and both brand consideration and brand preference are twice as high as among non-listeners. The survey also provided further insights into the collaboration, the campaign, and the quality of the podcast. With these results, the podcast creators can further optimize the podcast to the wishes of the listeners.

Podcast Advertising Impact Monitor

The Podcast Advertising Impact Monitor provides insight into the effects of podcast advertisements on the advertiser's most important brand KPIs, such as brand awareness, image, and brand preference. In addition, listeners are asked what they think of the podcast, so that the creators can also hear what is going well and what could be improved. The online survey is distributed among listeners, conducted with the help of our panel, and among listeners of the podcast.
