“P&G ALSO REPORTED A MEASURABLE INCREASE IN PRODUCT SALES AND MARKET SHARE FROM THE (FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT) PROGRAM.”

“In an April conference call, P&G said that favorability scores for brands advertised on film increased 26% among moms who saw it, and purchase-intent scores for moms who saw the movie were 2.7 times higher than for moms who didn’t see it. Such a halo effect for both sponsors, as well as the official broadcast partner NBC, might seem like other marketers would be scrambling to re-create P&G’s model.”

They drew a pretty good audience for their time slot, and as Ad Age put it in 2010, the movies were the “holy grail” of branded entertainment.”
