Ford’s advertising is done by JWT.

Next came Holden with 72.9% and Toyota with 70.7%.

Norman Morris, industry communications director at Roy Morgan Research, said:

“Not surprisingly, the high volume local manufacturers, Ford, Holden and Toyota recorded the greatest advertising recall results amongst all new car intenders. When linked with media spend, this ad recall figure can be used to give an indication of the advertising effectiveness of each brands campaigns.

“The challenge for the main manufacturers is to convert this high ad recall figure into action through increased website and dealer visitation. We know that the internet is the media most useful when purchasing a new car, with almost half of all new car intenders nominating this option as their top choice. When online, the most popular uses for the internet are to check vehicle features and get a quote, both important stages in the purchase process.”
