What I find particularly interesting in this study is the gap between what advertisers show us and what we actually remember.
NoLo advertising can encourage healthier choices, but raises questions about whether shared branding might unintentionally promote alcoholic products...
🍺 Can an advert for alcohol-free beer also advertise the alcoholic brand?
UK study found NoLo ads increased NoLo choices. People remembered the brand better than whether the drink contained alcohol.
