Media spending is the biggest generator of online “buzz”

Amplifyd from www.marketingcharts.com

A high level of blog interest, or online buzz, around new product launches is tightly linked to paid media spending, according to a new study by The Nielsen Company that analyzed blog buzz volume, ad spending, purchase intentions and actual product sales for newly launched consumer packaged goods (CPG).

  • On average, the top 10% of products with the most buzz spent nearly $20 million on paid media for the launch.
  • In contrast, the companies that generated the next 40% of blog buzz spent an average of $15 million.
  • Companies that generated the bottom 50% spent an average of only $5 million.
