Key findings previewed ahead of tomorrow’s YouGov and the7stars Nostalgia in Advertising whitepaper release

If you can’t wait to see the sort of things covered in the whitepaper tomorrow, you’re in luck. Ahead of its release, YouGov has kindly allowed us to share some insightful statistics from the paper…

Some key statistics:

• 48% of people prefer advertising that reminds them of the past/better times

• 21% both prefer nostalgic ads as well as using advertising to inform their decisions – meaning one-fifth are receptive to nostalgia

• 77% of people are more nostalgic at certain times of the year, meaning seasons have a noticeable effect

On the night, there will be drinks and canapés, as well as a panel who will talk about the key findings of the whitepaper and chat with attendees.

The panellists revealed so far include Amelia Brophy, Head of Data Products at YouGov, Helen Rose, Head of Insights and Analytics at the7stars, and Phillip Hulme, Director of Sales at Anchor Hanover Group.

The exclusive event will take place at Accelerate Places, 101 Princess Street, Manchester, M1 6DD, between 6pm and 9pm on Wednesday, November 20th.

YouGov, a global research and analytics company, has previously published whitepapers exploring consumer insight into loyalty schemes and whether the public believes brands should have a voice on social issues.

Amelia Brophy, said: “Both YouGov and the7stars have noticed an uptick in nostalgia in advertising, and positive nostalgia amongst consumers in general. This event seeks to challenge the idea of nostalgia and explore if people are nostalgic for times they hadn’t lived through to understand if it is an effective way to connect with consumers and tell stories about brands.”
