We approached well known Irish brand Flahavan’s as they had developed a new product Overnight Oats with minimal below the line marketing activity. Overnight Oats was a new way to eat oats and presented a strong growth opportunity. Flahavan's wanted to deliver a successful launch, recruiting an informed younger target audience.
An integrated campaign was developed to measure the impact of radio activity on retail sales. The campaign was made up of he following:
3 Weeks x 21 spot airtime on 37 stations.
Display and social impressions serves across the 37 radio stations.
On-air competition on Today FM.
Sampling on 6 stations (Midlands 103, Q102, FM104, Red FM, spin South West, Beat 102 103
EPOS data was collected for the period February to December 2018 which measures sales pre the radio activity, during the radio activity and post radio activity.
