Showing Sony the impact of social buzz

Kantar's connected data sets helped Sony Pictures Television prove that it generates social media conversations for those brands who advertise on its channels.

Challenge

Against the backdrop of a competitive media landscape in Brazil, Sony Pictures Television wanted to quantify the return on investment to brands advertising on their channels, beyond TV ratings. 

In particular, they wanted to demonstrate the power of their channels in generating social media conversations for the brands that place advertising with them.

Approach

Social media and media investment data provided by Kantar IBOPE Media was analysed using a Kantar statistical model to understand the correlation between two or more different variables. It allowed us to verify whether the increase of conversations related to the TV shows during its season also increased the “social buzz” of brands which had invested in those shows. 

This was then compared with media monitoring data to compare the performance of Sony’s results with competitors. 

Insight

This analysis helped demonstrate the relevance of their TV shows as part of an integrated media strategy, and showed how complementary data can be used to drive media buying decisions.

Impact

Sony Pictures Television is now able to evidence and quantify how its shows help drive social media conversations for certain brands.
