Example indicators to measure perceived effectiveness of campaign assets

In this example, we have developed statements to evaluate a printed advertisement. However, the same process can be used for other campaign materials, for e.g., television commercial, radio drama, emo-demo. If you are using a Likert scale to evaluate the example statements, values range from 1-5; from 1 = strongly disagree through to 5 = strongly agree.​ 

IndicatorExample statements

  • Sample statements may include the following:
    • The campaign materials are pleasing to see.
    • The campaign materials are appropriate for my community.
    • The campaign materials help start conversations about infant and young child feeding.
  • It may be helpful to use a Likert scale to measure participant responses from 1-5; 1 = very unacceptable, 2 = unacceptable, 3 = neutral or somewhat acceptable, 4 = acceptable, 5 = highly acceptable:
    • What score did the primary audience assign to each of the campaign assets (average score with variance)?
    • How many people in the primary audience found the asset to be acceptable (4) or highly acceptable (5)?
  • How many people in the primary audience found the asset to be unacceptable (2) or very unacceptable (1)?
