Automotive brands get biggest ROI from TV advertising, new study claims

A new study commissioned by ThinkTV has found automotive brands get a sales return of $8.90 for every dollar invested in television advertising, well ahead of closest competitor radio, which returns $5.00 and out-of-home, which returns $1.40.

The study was based on three years of raw sales and campaign data for four automotive advertisers who collectively spend more than $150m on advertising per annum – out of the automotive category’s $700m annual media spend – and found all media channels provided automotive advertisers with a positive return on investment.

The findings contrasted with ThinkTV’s study last year on the FMCG category, which claimed only television had a positive ROI ($1.74), compared to print (79 cents return for every dollar invested), video (72 cents) and radio (71 cents).
