Size
The larger the on screen size, the greater the advertising impact. Bigger logos on screen size are evaluated using a heavier weighting factor in the QI Score than smaller logos.
Duration
The QI Score is a measure of impact on a per second basis. As a result, the QI Score accounts for the length of the exposure. Shorter, disruptive exposures are assessed with a higher weighting factor compared to extended exposures, typically seen in fixed camera situations where the impact per second gradually decreases.
Position
The more central the logo on screen, the higher the opportunity for impact. Logos in the central area of the screen are valued using a higher weighting factor than those in the periphery.
Frequency
Simultaneous advertising messages on screen increase opportunity for recognition. These are referred to as “Brand Hits“ and an increasing number of brand hits detected on screen is accounted for in the QI Score.
How do we track and evaluate brand exposure in broadcast?
Repucom has created a global standard for measuring media performance for branding detected inside of sports content. The Quality Index (QI) methodology has become a currency within the industry to understand relative performance of sponsorship assets in media, and here we explain how it works.
We use cutting edge image detection technology to collect data on brands and products exposed in broadcast. Data is collected on the brand execution, it's location by asset type (Car, Apparel, Signage as examples) and its duration on screen is captured. There is also data captured on its quality of presentation on screen, which is utilized to build the Quality Index (QI) Score. These four key factors are detailed here:
