Client: Cable Networks

Empirical Path consultants measured the impact of affiliate marketing promotions for cable television networks on behalf of their promotions agency.  Designed a telephone survey to compare recurring metrics to established baselines and capture responses to each promotion’s unique features.  Customized a shared Access database for centralized data collection.  Trained and supervised a staff of telephone researchers to build rapport with survey targets.  Analyzed findings to identify gains and setbacks against prior surveys for key market segments, then suggested improvements for upcoming promotions.
