RESEARCH EXECUTIONS MEDIA SUCCESS
We will be analyzing and tracking important variables of our campaign to make certain that our ob-
jectives are being met. The success of our campaign will be measured by the success of each of these
variables. We will be analyzing the following variables:
MULTICULTURAL SHARE
Our overall marketing goal is to increase total Multicultural Share. We will measure this by the increase
in sales for each multicultural millennial audience by quarter.
Monthly tracking studies will be done on the following to measure impact of the campaign:
- Number of sales from 18- 29 year-old MC Millennials
-Retention rate of the target market
- Brand awareness
- Overall perception of Nissan
- Perception of dealership experience
DIGITAL EXPERIENCE
-We will track campaign success via Facebook and Twitter Analytics. Success of these social media ve-
hicles will also be analyzed by monthly reports completed by employees monitoring the pages.
-Google Analytics will be used to track the success of our micro site.
-The perception of all of these digital aspects will be evaluated by surveys before, during and after the
campaign. These surveys will strictly be given to members of the designated target market.
-The number of users that are signed up for our micro site will show us how effective many aspects of
our campaign were. Since this site will be promoted through our events and other areas of our cam-
paign, this will show an effective measure of success.
RECALL SURVEYS:
Survey consumers of our target market to make sure we are reaching an adequate number. These will be
done at the end of the campaign and will mostly focus on the recall of our television spot and print ads.
