Our new report TV in a Pandemic, developed in partnership with Ipsos, outlines Canadians’ perceptions about television, advertising, and buying behaviour. The research reveals the top reasons for watching TV (it’s not just news!), who Canadians trust, and – importantly for advertisers – their attitudes towards trying new brands and the media that’s most likely to influence them.
Watch Richard Shotton, author of the acclaimed book The Choice Factory, share key learnings for marketers gleaned from behavioural science and tailored to the current crisis, including how life changes – like the coronavirus pandemic – put buying behaviour in flux, presenting an opportunity for marketers.
Watch Orlando Wood’s fascinating presentation about advertising effectiveness, left- and right-brain thinking, and what ads are resonating during the current crisis.
