More than 100 companies, mainly major domestic companies, have adopted the system

In Japan, the annual advertising expenditure for internet advertising is about 1 trillion yen, while that for offline advertising is about 1.8 trillion yen, meaning that offline advertising is spent about 4.8 times as much. However, while data-based effectiveness measurement is actively being used in the internet advertising field, a general-purpose effectiveness measurement method has not yet been established in the offline advertising field.

Against the backdrop of these industry challenges, Magellan, which enables comprehensive analysis of the effectiveness of online and offline advertising, has been widely accepted since its launch in September 2016 by companies facing marketing challenges such as "wanting to clarify the effectiveness of offline advertising, including TV commercials," and "wanting to optimize advertising budget investment allocation, including offline advertising." The total number of companies using Magellan has now surpassed 9.

More than 100 companies, mainly major domestic companies, have adopted the system

Recently, Shoppers Eye Inc., a part of the Cross Marketing Group (First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange: 3675), conducted a survey of approximately 150 marketing personnel from listed companies that advertise on television, and the results revealed that Magellan was awarded three titles: "Japan's No. 1 TV commercial effectiveness analysis tool," "Japan's No. 1 on-off integrated analysis tool," and "Japan's No. 1 marketing mix modeling tool."

Winning three titles as Japan's No. 1 tour

In the future, Magellan will continue to improve the value of its product so that it can contribute more than ever to solving corporate marketing issues by increasing the analytical value by expanding the variety of data that can be used in Magellan's analysis, and by creating an environment that makes analysis easier by linking it with BI (business intelligence) tools.

With over 100 companies using the tool and winning three No. 1 tool certifications, the second taxi commercial begins airing

To coincide with Magellan's adoption by over 100 companies and its triple crown of No. 1 tool certification, the second taxi commercial began airing on October 3th in order to further raise awareness of the product.

While the first commercial appealed to the point that "you can analyze the effectiveness of TV commercials," the second commercial appeals mainly to manufacturers by "analyzing the advertising effectiveness in terms of offline results (store sales, sales figures, etc.) and coverage (shelf placement rate, etc.)." In addition, by continuing from the first commercial, the second commercial also incorporates the "Magellan pose," aiming to make it a commercial that is more likely to leave a lasting impression on viewers.
