Consumer Connection System
Outdoor advertising is proven to be the most effective media when it comes to increasing attention value and making your product memorable during the buyers journey. Consumer Connection System (CCS) is a proprietary survey on communication behaviour, attitudes and consumption behavior. Together with dentsu we identified target groups most receptive to OOH.
The Consumer Connection System (CCS) by dentsu describes the usage of bought, owned and earned media and their role and function for consumers. From the CCS Day-in-a-Life data people’s Lean Back and Lean Forward constitution and the corresponding touchpoints can be analysed. Identifying the Word-of-Mouth potential in one category is possible as well as determining the impact for approx. 50 touchpoints. Comprehensive lifestyle and brand information complement the survey and deliver extensive information on strategy and planning. The CCS survey includes adults from 15 to 64 years of age and is executed online in over 30 countries using extensively harmonised questionnaires.
The data was gathered on Finland in 2016 and the number of respondents was 5400. Clear Channel has done further analysis from the data to recognize target groups most receptive to OOH.
As OOH is media group reaching the whole population, it was difficult to identify segments from the basis of reach. However, CCS gave a bundle of information on noticing OOH and from this starting point segments were able to be formed by clustering the population.
The end result were four distinctive segments, which differ from each other in sufficient amount. In addition to OOH locations mentioned below, all target groups replied noticing product promotions, which provoke consideration and purchase decisions.
