The Challenge
Evaluate TV Strategy to Close Gap With Competition
This QSR relies on contextual TV advertising to drive sales, but it was being outspent by the competition and needed a cost-efficient way to reach likely customers. The QSR wanted to increase earnings and grow their market share through a more targeted, audience-centric approach to its TV advertising.
The Solution
Reach Custom Target of Fast Food Eaters Efficiently
Execute a 4-week audience-targeted campaign designed to reach the QSR brand’s custom target audience with 3% of the brand’s budget.
Custom Targeting
Using our software platform, we created a custom target and predicted where to find them across national TV.
Data Matching
Match third-party credit card transaction data to TV viewing data to determine TV’s impact on purchases made at the QSR, and at its competitors.
The Results
Simulmedia Cost-Efficiently Reached the Client’s Custom Target
Simulmedia’s campaign drove a higher return on ad spend than the client’s other TV media, as well as driving customers to the restaurant at a higher rate with a lower cost per conversion.

Future Optimization
Redefine Target and Reallocate Budget to Optimize Future Campaigns
Simulmedia analyzed the campaign’s performance to further optimize future campaigns, recommending:
- Re-defining the target audience to Males 18-34 because they were most responsive to the creative, compared to other demographics
- Reallocating 30% of its next TV campaign budget to Simulmedia which, after a simulation analysis, is projected to increase the client’s return on ad spend by over 50%
