What is Campaign Recall?

Campaign Recall measures whether people noticed, remembered, and connected with your campaign after it has run in market.

Updated over 3 months ago

Not every campaign that runs in the market is truly remembered. Campaign Recall helps you understand whether people recall your ad, whether they link it to your brand, and whether the message stuck.

Unlike Brand Lift, which tests impact in a controlled setup before launch, Campaign Recall looks back at live campaigns and captures real market memory signals.


Why use Campaign Recall?

  • Check breakthrough → Did your campaign cut through clutter and get noticed?

  • Test memory → What message, visuals, or emotions do people remember?

  • Measure linkage → Did they correctly associate the ad with your brand?

  • Gauge resonance → Did recall translate into consideration or intent?

  • Inform next campaigns → Learn what worked and what to optimize.


How the survey works

  1. Campaign awareness & recall → Identify if respondents saw any ads in your category recently, and which stood out.

  2. Brand linkage & message → Confirm if they recall your specific campaign, what details they remember, and which emotions it sparked.

  3. Conversion signals → Assess consideration, action intent, and barriers after recall.

Example → Out of 300 respondents:

  • 60% recall ads in your category

  • 40% recall your specific campaign

  • 25% correctly state your main message

This shows whether your campaign achieved noticeability, resonance, and memory.


Audience sizes and targeting

  • Standard = 300 respondents

  • Scale up → Larger samples for segment cuts

  • Targeting: nationally representative or custom filters (age, gender, region, campaign audience)


Report structure

Your Campaign Recall report includes:

  1. Campaign awareness & recall: unaided vs aided, channel recall heatmaps

  2. Message & brand connection: key memories, emotions, and brand linkage

  3. Conversion impact: consideration, intent uplift, and barriers

  4. Segment cuts: differences by channels or demographics

  5. AI Summary: concise narrative of what worked, what didn’t, and where to improve

Additional tabs: Survey, Personas, and Insights give deeper detail and audience storylines.


How to interpret results

  • High recall + strong brand linkage → campaign broke through successfully

  • Weak recall or incorrect linkage → campaign underperformed

  • Message remembered + intent uplift → ad influenced consumer behavior

Tip: Look across channels and demographics to see where performance was strongest and where to focus improvements next time.
