Peter Field said “Any brand with ambitions beyond its budget needs to see this”. He was referring to Bountiful Cows IPA data fueled study which analysed 256 ad campaigns, examining them for Relative Advantage. I tracked down Adam Foley, CEO of Bountiful Cow to ask him more about the analysis and the findings. The research argues that relative advantage campaigns are 15% more likely to show at least one very large brand effect. They are also 60% more likely to have a very large effect on awareness, 22% more likely on differentiation suggesting a longer-term benefit to the brand and the business.
As Adam himself has said “When you can’t outspend your competition, you have to out-think them. You’ll never win by doing the same thing with less money; it’s about seizing opportunities that competitors overlook or neglect.” This episode delves into the report with great real life examples of brands that are using these principles of relative advantage.
This is episode covers the importance of challenger brands, how a diverse and non-traditional approach to marketing and audience engagement can result in significant company growth and brand awareness, distinctiveness in a saturated market, leveraging social currency, and the critical role of measuring campaign effectiveness.

Traditional (or established) media is having somewhat of a resurgence, the pendulum is certainly swinging to a more balanced view. We have the likes of Nils Leonard celebrating the power of OOH, Mark Ritson telling us that if we allocate 11% of our marketing budget to radio advertising, the entire campaign’s effectiveness will double and Peter Field releasing Why TV is at the heart of effectiveness and NeuroInsight showing that a 30-second cinema ad had 1.75 times more chance of having its “intended impact” on memory and engagement than a 30-second TV ad. So it was time for That’s What I Call Marketing to sit down with leading industry bodies to get their take on the landscape, the challenges and opportunities faced by traditional media, innovative research studies, and the importance of measurement and effectiveness in advertising. Featuring insights from Jill McGrath of TAM Ireland, Aoibhinn Lennon from the Outdoor Media Association, Cassie Joyce of Pearl and Dean Ireland, and Ciarán Cunningham of Radio Centre Ireland, the discussion delves into how traditional media channels are adapting to digital transformations and the perceived effectiveness of digital vs. traditional advertising. The episode also highlights the need for marketers to be curious, challenge assumptions, and consider a balanced media mix to achieve brand success. Recorded at Poddle Audio
