Nielsen launches campaign
Nielsen Media Research will launch a branding advertising campaign in February to heighten awareness about who Nielsen is and how its TV reports accurately reflect the viewing habits of all different kinds of people. The campaign will focus on key media outlets in the Metropolitan Detroit area, along with other media markets across the country.
Nielsen has partnered with Burrell, one of the nation's largest African American full-service communications agencies, to create and execute the campaign. It includes print, radio, online and cinema advertising, targeting Asian, African-American, Arabic, and Hispanic consumers and opinion leaders. The informational advertising campaign is also designed to inform multicultural audiences about Nielsen's role in television ratings.
As part of the campaign, Nielsen will roll out print ads featuring the faces of adults of various ages and ethnicities merged together, to illustrate the company's inclusive research methods. The print ad copy is translated in Chinese, Spanish and English for respective audiences and will run in ethnic weeklies in and national publications that reach ethnic opinion leaders. The radio ads will run on top-rated African American and Hispanic (Spanish and English language) stations. The campaign also includes on-screen advertising in multicultural movie theaters.
"The success of our research depends upon our ability to accurately measure and represent all TV viewers, so we strive to make sure that every ethnic group is included in the TV ratings," said Nielsen Media Research President and CEO Susan Whiting. "We spent a great deal of time meeting with and listening to communities from around the country in 2004. We valued the input. While we've been actively working with various ethnic groups to ensure that our measurements fully and fairly represent all television viewers, we felt we could do more to inform people about what we do. The advertising campaign will be initiated in conjunction with our ongoing community outreach initiatives."
