Alcohol Trade Campaign Performance Analysis

Measure alcohol trade campaign delivery, costs and aggregate response against defined commercial objectives.

The commission

What the work covers

Review approved alcohol trade campaign reports, placement records and aggregate analytics to compare delivery and cost measures with the agreed plan. Examine channel and format performance, explain metric definitions and highlight practical improvements to the next campaign.

How we approach the work

  1. Confirm campaign objectives, approved spend and available reporting data.
  2. Reconcile placement delivery, costs and aggregate response measures.
  3. Compare results with the plan and recommend specific improvements.

Scope and boundaries

Results use agreed aggregate reports and the stated attribution method. New tracking, individual-level data collection or changes to cookies and pixels require a separate scope and assessment of applicable privacy and PECR requirements before implementation.

  • Media Buying

    UK and selected international media buying for alcohol brands, with plans for complex markets, subject to local laws.

  • Media Planning & Channel Selection

    Select trade advertising channels and formats for alcohol brands, with an agreed audience, campaign objective and budget.

  • Media Impact Analysis

    Assess the reach, relevance and context of alcohol industry media coverage and trade advertising using aggregate evidence.

Scope and independence

Lobbying and representation before public authorities are delivered directly by Alcohol Ltd within the UK and only in relation to UK public bodies. We do not undertake or arrange lobbying of foreign governments, legislatures, regulators or international public bodies, directly, remotely or through intermediaries.

International work covers research, commercial analysis, media, publishing and private-sector trade event support. It excludes campaigns to influence non-UK public decisions, representation to non-UK public authorities and arranging others to provide those services.

Commercial campaigns are reviewed for applicable advertising, audience, territory and claims rules; a trade audience is not a blanket exemption from alcohol advertising restrictions. Media bookings and event suppliers need agreed budgets, permissions and proportionate anti-bribery controls. Event representation covers approved information-only presentations and commercial discussions. It excludes offering or exposing alcohol for wholesale sale, sales negotiation, order-taking, supply and arranging wholesale sales. Event agendas and facilitated discussions exclude exchanges of competitors' non-public pricing intentions, output plans and commercial strategies.

Client approval concerns commissioned deliverables and factual checks. Editors retain responsibility for independent publication, corrections and removal decisions. A commercial commission does not buy favourable independent coverage, the suppression of legitimate reporting, editorial endorsement or control over our policy positions. Confidential journalistic sources are not made available through commercial client approval.

Our regulated editorial material follows the Editors' Code of Practice, including accuracy, distinguishing fact from opinion and conjecture, privacy and timely corrections with due prominence. IPSO regulates editorial material within its remit; it does not approve our consultancy, research, PR or lobbying services. Advertising is clearly identified where applicable.

Appointments require an agreed written brief and checks on the client, conflicts, sanctions and any applicable registration, disclosure, data-use and permission requirements before work begins. Scope, fees and responsibilities are agreed separately, subject to our service and jurisdictional terms.
