We learned a great deal about the power of communications and where our dollars are best spent through the Market Contact Audit. We learned that our money in advertising was not as well spent as it was in experiential marketing. So, we moved $10 million of our ad budget to experiential marketing as a result of that experience.

Asia Pacific Breweries Limited has been a business partner of INTEGRATION and used the MCA approach for the last six years. We have used MCA in four key markets- Singapore, China, Thailand, New Zealand; MCA has enlightened us about how we and our competitors perform in each of these markets. We have used MCA to enable companies under pressure to perform better. Overall, we have found MCA to be a stimulating and insightful marketing metric. It challenges commercial teams to reinvent their thinking and to get the best out of their agencies. And in all markets it has broken a persistent thought, MCA gives more bangs for less bucks.

Group Commercial Director Asia Pacific Breweries Limited





Integration's MCA is an innovative tool that addresses an urgent need of the industry: It analyses the whole communication portfolio in a category from a consumer point of view. It also looks at the ROI of the various activities and thus helps making marketing accountable. And it's no magic. It is based on a simple and solid consumer interview, from which a wealth of data is derived.

It looks to me like Integration has managed to actually render what we always wanted: a model with constructs born of intelligent, creative hypotheses, consistent with the best of the literature, but then truly confirmed by appropriate empirical experience. In other words, Science done right.

EVP of BBDO Worldwide and Associate Editor of Marketing Science
