Abstract
Description
The paper examines audience perception of the effectiveness of drama in television advertisements/commercials and how
this aids audience recall, retention and its impact on patronage. From the results, 78.5% of the respondents agree that
"Sunrise" actually communicates MTN's message of love while 87.5% of the respondents said that Indomie Noodle's
message of sharing was well understood. Despite these positive responses, 75% of the respondents state that "Sunrise " did
not endear them to MTN products while 68% said that the "Make the World a Better Place" did not also influence them to
buy Indomie noodles. These responses contradict the position of MTN and Indomie firms' position that more profits
accrued to them during the period of running both adverts (commercials).
