Test how well your advertising is remembered, how much it is liked and whether the key messages land – including the impact on purchase intent.

Ad Effectiveness – questionnaire preview

This template checks the key dimensions of ad effectiveness: is the advert recognised (recall), how well is it liked (likeability), do the messages come across as clear and credible, and does purchase intent shift? An open question at the end captures spontaneous reactions.

When should you use this template?

This template is a great fit for:

  • As a pre-test before launching a campaign

Frequently asked questions

Do I need the creative for the test?
Yes. Embed the creative to be tested as an image or video before the questions so that all respondents evaluate the same material.
What does likeability say about success?
Likeability is a useful early indicator: ads that are liked are often remembered better and skipped less. It does not, however, replace measuring the impact on purchase.
