Each year Ace Metrix puts together a survey of the most influential commercial spots. The entries are ranked by Ace based on a survey of random people and how they react to each commercial. How is this influence calculated? Here’s what Ace has to say in their FAQ:
An Ace Score is the overall creative effectiveness score for an individual TV commercial. It is based on two key measures: Persuasion and Watchability. The Persuasion rating is based on the interactivity of six data elements – Desire, Relevance, Likeability, Attention, Information and Change – automatically captured and analyzed for each ad. Watchability measures the engagement that a person has with the ad. Watchability and Persuasion interact to create the Ace Score.
For 2012, Ace Metrix found that the top 2 most influential ad spots were from appliance brands and featured refrigerators.
