Rentrak Examples 13
ECR vs. Program 14
ECR vs. Program In the 10/7 episode of 60 Minutes, the Subway ad, which starts in the 3 rd pod, has a higher rating (14.60) than the telecast average (12.90). 15
ECR vs. Pod Position 16
ECR vs. Pod Position When we look at the entire 3 rd pod for 60 Minutes, that Subway ad clearly benefits from first position placement, rating 0.62 points higher than the pod average (13.98). 13.98 pod average 17
ECR vs. Commercial Average 18
ECR vs. Commercial Average Commercial Average = 6.83 ECR can also demonstrate the difference between an ad s performance and the entire commercial average. A trailer for Frankenweenie in Modern Family for instance, that wasn t in the first pod or even a first position, out performs the total commercial average. 19
ECR : Competitive Analysis 20
ECR : Competitive Analysis ECR allows users to directly compare advertising to competitors. In this telecast example, Allstate benefits from a last, non-promo position which drives a higher rating than Geico s middle position. 21
ECR : Network & Series Performance ECR can convey a wealth of summarized information about buys, including which networks or series work best for any amount of time, by daypart, by pod, by position, by competitive and creative. 22
ECR : Network & Series Performance For E*Trade, we can see that the buys on CNBC, GOLF, NBC SPORTS, etc. performed better for the high net worth audiences 23
ECR : Commercial Duration ECR compares the various commercial durations from a campaign in any number of ways. 24
ECR : Commercial Duration Here, E*Trade s :15 spots not only have a higher basic rating, but also have a higher ad-to-telecast ratio than the :30s. This means that the :15 spots not only rate higher, but also perform better when controlled for the show environment they re in. 25
ECR Flowchart Here we see ECR data put together from broadcast weeks, networks, series, demographics, etc. to essentially rebuild a potential competitor s entire Q1 schedule based on REAL ECR GRPs. 26
