A Knorr ad seen about 120 times in Scotland stayed one of the country's best-loved ads
~120
times seen
Because Scotland was too small a market to justify new ads every year, Knorr ran the same chicken stock cube ad there for years. The average viewer saw it around 120 times, still loved it and could quote it, and it became one of the best-loved ads in Scotland.
