Elite athletes in search of a gold medal are not the only group who have been training hard ahead of the summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. The world's greatest brands have also been eagerly awaiting the starting gun!
With its global audience, the summer Olympic Games provides one of the largest marketing platforms in the world, reaching billions of consumers and therefore seducing brands to compete hard to achieve gold standard 5-Star response to their communications. Past years have set the bar high with campaigns like Nike's "Find Your Greatness", Mini's "Win Small" and P&G's "Thank You Mom" campaigns.
Common threads of Olympic advertising might include commercials starring athletes with emotive themes of persistence, dedication and patriotism. But it's much more complex than that to create the feeling that results in a 5-Star ad. As we've seen through BrainJuicer's FeelMore50, the most effective advertising successfully appeals to the three aspects of brand building: Fame, Feeling & Fluency. Fame helps a brand come readily to mind. Feeling helps people choose it. And Fluency helps people recognize and process a brand quickly. For the FeelMore50 Olympics, advertising from around the world will be assessed for efficiency using the same framework and based on quantitative data collected in BrainJuicer's validated advertising testing methodology.

10. Daniel Kahneman | Nobel Prize Winner
The answer to an easy
question – how do I feel about
it? – serves as an answer to a
much more difficult question –
what do I think about it?
27. Over time, brands build memory
structures; most are very simple, such
as associations with colour, pack shapes
and fonts. These are vital because they
make the brand and its advertising
easily recognisable
Professor Byron Sharp
