OMAC Launches Creative Pre-test Tool

Gail Chiasson, North American Editor

The Out-of-Home Marketing Association of Canada, in partnership with BrandSpark International, has launched a creative pre-test tool to help foster great creative executions.

While launched for Out-of-Home campaigns, we are told that it can be adapted for Digital Out-of-Home, as well.

Developed to help marketers and their agencies maximize the impact of OOH advertising campaigns pre-launch, AdSpark is a fee-based service that can provide two types of research analytics:

  • Diagnostic : Creative metric benchmarking, main message comprehension, relevancy and breakthrough via T-scope (timed ad exposures);
  • Optimization : Graphics and messaging hotspots, share of attention and attitude analysis.

Three flexible fee options are available based on the campaign specific needs of the marketer, ranging from $2,500-$4,500. The client identifies the desired target audience, respondents are recruited from BrandSpark’s shopper panel of 100,000+ Canadians and the survey is conducted online. Results can be expected within two-to-three weeks after study completion.

This tool enhances the already existing creative resources found on OMAC’s website, available 24/7, including the creative library, which holds over 1,200 different OOH executions and the international creative microsite – a compilation of many of the industry’s favourite global, award-winners.

The resources are to help make creating OOH graphics and messaging easier.
