The famous Subway spokesperson,
Jared, dreams about eating what's new at Subway. The Subway clerk at
the counter introduces a new low-fat sub as it deliciously appears on
the screen. The more humorous Ad A was better liked, but the Subway
spot, with its focus on news, health and taste, was the more
effective marketing investment. It did a considerably better job at
registering the brand name (recall) and generating buying interest
(persuasion). In the average network show, the Subway spot
(Ad B) reaches and persuades 1.7 million more viewers than the
Quizno's spot (Ad A), a 247% premium for the same exposure.
