EDO + Affinity Solutions: How QSRs Can Boost TV Ad ROI with Live Sports + DMA Strategies

By linking 126 million linear TV ad airings to 86 billion consumer transactions, we identified how creative quality, geographic targeting, and strategic use of live sports can dramatically increase return on investment.
