APG|SGA – Swiss out of home pioneer with the expert advantage
Qualitative advertising research gauges the impact of outdoor advertising.
APG|SGA has been testing the qualitative impact of poster campaigns for more than 20 years. Specially devised for this purpose, the Poster Performance Index (PPI) is now an established post-test in Swiss outdoor advertising. It measures impact according to the following criteria:
-
Recall
-
Brand recognition
-
Appeal
All the results of the long-term study are sorted by industry and collated in a database, to serve as a benchmark for the values targeted by each specific campaign.
The reliable method for campaign cost-benefit analysis.
The basis for the study is a sample of 500 randomly selected, representative individuals in the metropolitan areas of Basel, Bern, Geneva, Lausanne and Zurich. Data is collected through a personal online survey. This is carried out immediately after the end of the campaign in recurrent waves by the independent Swiss research institute intervista AG.

Extensively proven impact: impact is determined based on “recall”, “brand recognition” and “appeal”. Advertisers can use these findings in the further development of their campaigns.
-
Practical benchmarking and control instrument: combined with quantitative performance values (reach, OTS, GRP and CPM), the PPI offers insights into the efficiency of advertising spend.
