RE: CAMEL MENTHOL "COMMUTER" :60 ON-AIR TEST - MRD#AR-67-72
SUMMARY:
Results of on-air testing suggest that CAMEL MENTHOL "Commuter" was
considerably above average for an introductory cigarette commercial.
---Overall related recall (42%) was particularly above average (31%).
Study of the verbatims suggest that the commercial successfully com-
municated the basic qualities of the brand - 17% recalled menthol
and 1510 recalled various taste benefits derived from menthol.
The use of the live camel in the commercial must be considered a
major cause of the high scores of the commercial. The live camel
clearly dominated situation recall. It should be noted, however,
that the subtlety of the snow on the camel's back, which was designed
__to_reinforce our coolness claim, was recalled by only 2%.
The only significant deficiency found in the verbatims was the failure
of respondents to perceive CAMEL MENTHOL as having extra coolness or
menthol. While the cigarette was identified by a large number of
those giving recall as a menthol cigarette, there was virtually no
playback of the critical "cooler-than-cool" or extra coolness concept.
it should be recalled that use of "cooler-than-cool" was severely
restricted during the development of the commercial.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOr24ENDATIONS :
The use of the live camel appears to have been very effective as a
brand related mnemonic device which apparently did not interfere
with the communications of the basic copy. Such brand or copy re-
lated devices should be considered for inclusion in future commercials.

CAMEL MENTHOL "COMMUTER" :60 ON-AIR TEST
(Day-agten Reca.2t)
MRD-AR-67-72
This is a study to determine recall levels of Camel Menthol
"Commuter" :60 commercial.
-RESULTS
1. "Commuter" obtained an overall related recall score of 42%,
-which was comprised of 24% specifically related and 18% generally related.
2. The menthol salesmessage was recalled by 15%; and newness, by
14%.
3. "Cocl/fresh" comments were made by 10%, and taste comments, by
9%.
4. A total of 23% remembered the live Camel.
CONCLUSION
The overall score of 41% (substantially higher than the ?.ndustry
introOuctcry average of 32 0) and the fair recall of newness (14%) are
evidence that "Comn,uter" was successful in accomplishing its purpose of
introducing Camel Menthol. Recall of "cool/fresh" and taste sales-
messages, at 10% and 9% respectively, is only moderate.
Our evaluation of the test results suggests that the commercial's
memorability is due to the newness of the brand and to the live Camel
which serves as both an attention-getter and a memory aid. '

MRD#AR-67-72
This is a study to determine the recall levels of Camel Menthol
"Commuter" :60.
LOCATION
BACKGROUND
St. Louis, Missouri -Phoenix, Arizona
"Commuter" was tested twice in each city in order that an
adequate base be accumulated.
For the first test "Commuter" appeared in the second commercial
position of "Rat Patrol" (at 7:46 p.m. CDT) on
September 25, 1967.
For the second test it appeared in the first commercial position
of "Dragnet" (at 8:33 p.m. CDT) on October 5, 1967.
DATES OF INTERVIEWING
METHOD
September 26 and October 6; 1967
Any adult who had watched television the prev.ious night and who
smoked one cigarette per day was eligible to be interviewed. Respondents
were asked whether they had seen a commercial for any cigarettes and, if
so, which brands. if the test brand was not mentioned, they were asked
whether they had seen a commercial for Camel Menthol cigarettes and, if.
so,-what it said and showed. -Those who had watched the test program
were asked whether they had seen the parts just before, during, and just
after the commercial. Program and activity prompts were used to determine
whether the respondent was actually in the commercial audience. Respondents
were classified by sex, age, education, and type of television viewed.
SAMPLE
Numbers were chosen at random from local telephone directories.

DEFINITIONS
In order to make each on-air test comparable with all other on-
air tests, certain definitions have been followed. These definitions
are outlined briefly below:
Related Recall - Verbatims which are classified as related are correct
play-backs of the test commercial. These may either be generally
correct or specifically correct. A specifically correct verbatim
contains elements of recall which can come only from the test com-
mercial, since they have appeared in no other commercials. Generally
correct verbatims contain elements which truly reflect things said
or shown in the test commercial, although these things are not ex-
clusive to the test commercial.
Unrelated Recall - Verbatims which are classified as unrelated fall
into one of three groups. The most obvious group contains those
which do not have any elements of any cigarette advertising in them.
In some cases these can amount to nothing more than the respondent's
statement that he remembers the brand name but nothing else. In other
cases there may be non-descriptive mentions of the cigarette pack.
The second group consists of only elements which are incorrect.
These may be either generally incorrect or specifically incorrect.
A specifically incorrect verbatim contains mentions of elements which
are clearly from a commercial other than the test commercial. A
generally incorrect verbatim consists of elements that cannot be
associated with specific non-test brand advertising but which are
certainly not valid renderings of the copy strategy for the test
brand. An example of this latter case would be where the respon-
dent says that a CAMEL commercial contained mention of "mildness".
(Note that a reasonable amount of judgment is sometimes necessary
in these cases. If a respondent claimed that a CAMEL commercial
made a claim for being "a man's cigarette", even though this was not
mentioned, it could be argued that this is a justifiable inference
because of the visual context.)
The third group consists of verbatims which contain both gener-
ally correct plus specifically incorrect elements. Here it is fairly
clear that the respondent is confusing the test commercial with some
other and has not, therefore, been able to give satisfactory evi-
dence of having recalled the test commercial.
Commercial Audience - The base on which percentages are computed
must be the same in all on-air tests. Ideally, the base should be
people who were present in the same room as the television set when
the commercial was shown, i.e. the "commercial audience". The reason
for using the same base for each test is to make all tests comparable
and to present the results in a way that accurately reflects commun-
ication efficiency. This goal is not achieved if the base is, for
example, the number of people who say they saw the test commercial,
because this in itself is a variable that depends on the ability of
the commercial to be remembered; and since it will vary from test to
test, the results of many tests cannot be compared.
I

VERBATIMS
The following section contains the verbatim responses
given in answer to the questions that were aske~ to deter-
mine what the respondent remembered about the test commer-
cial.
These verbatims are not edited. They appear exactly
as they were spoken and, consequently, some are not gram-
matically sound.
Information on the respondent's sex, age category and
educational level and whether the respondent watched in
black and white or color are given at the end of each ver-
batim.
The verbatims are in three categories, specifically
related, generally related, and unrelated recall.

Camel Menthol "C-or=uter" :6C obtained an overall score
of 411, which was r:adc up of 24: snecifi.cally related recall
and 17`; s;enerallp related.
Mer. recalled the commerciF.l significantly better than
vr.r.en (4t;°> vs. 34: ).
The naleqpoint whicl: was i+leyed baci nee:t besidcss nPnthol
(y5°;) was ncwr.E:ss (14:.;, or 34: of overall score). "Cool/fresh/ '
refresa3nF;" r;essages were recalled by l0f,; auCi taste, by 91.
Tbe live camel in the train uas, by far, the most merrorable,
vi.suQl eletuent (a32).
The overall Fccrc is somewhat higher thmrs the industry int
eoetnry :60 avfrEge of 35; and considerably higher than the RJR
introductory average of 322. Our evalustiotr of the test re,aulta
suggests that the high score,acy be attributed to the newness
of the brand and to the live carrel which served as both an atten-
tion-getter and a memory aid.
