SelectableSurveys Finds Coke Zero is the Big March Madness Winner

Survey Tool Provides Rapid Data Gathering for Brands, Agencies and Publishers

NEW YORK – The 2013 NCAA March Madness Men’s Basketball Tournament is a great opportunity for brands to reach customers, but new research shows only 7 percent of consumers can accurately identify the Official Sponsors of the tournament. While most respondents could not recognize all of the official sponsors, more than 48 percent of respondents correctly selected Coke Zero as one of the official sponsors for March Madness.

“Coke Zero was a clear winner among March Madness sponsors. Forty-eight percent of those surveyed correctly identified the brand as an Official Sponsor,” said Matt Minoff, CEO of Selectable Media. “Coke Zero has capitalized on its deep integration into the web and mobile live streams. With more than 36 million people watching games on digital devices, Coke Zero was able to stay top of mind for consumers throughout the tournament.”

The study, conducted using Selectable Media’s new SelectableSurveys tool, presented a random mix of national advertisers and asked respondents to correctly identify the Official Sponsors. Responses were gathered after the Elite 8 games on Monday, April 1.
