Nielsen's Home Page for its academic program

Advertisements can be, and often are, evaluated on a variety of different metrics, such as creativity and liking. The Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University has developed a framework that emphasizes the assessment of advertising from a strategic perspective. Our overall goal is to use our strategic assessment to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of an ad with respect to increasing sales and building the brand. Our assessments of advertisements reflect six dimensions arising from academic research: attention, distinction, positioning, linkage, amplification, and net equity (ADPLAN). Each dimension can be taken into consideration when evaluating an advertising campaign. The ADPLAN criteria will be used by Kellogg students to evaluate ads from a strategic perspective during the Kellogg School's annual Super Bowl Advertising Review
