4. By 'direct' we mean that the customers gets a quote either with the contact centre over the phone, or directly
on the website. Churchill's motor sales split is c. 40% direct to 60% PCW

8. The PCW data used was sourced from one of our PCW partners and has a number of limitations in place.
Information was only provided on the top ve positions of each query and both brand and consumer were
anonymised. Exact quoted premium were provided for each position. Period: July 2014 to June 2016.
9. An implicit assumption here is that Privilege is a kind of 'non-brand' with zero equity. Clearly this is false as
many of us lovingly remember the Joanna Lumley adverts that ran in the early 2000s. This is a valid
criticism, but it should be noted that this will bias the results of our analysis downwards, not upwards.

TV, Radio, Press, Cinema and Outdoor.

13. Black-box devices that measure driving characteristics and feed into (hopefully) cheaper insurance
premiums. Our model suggests consumers see Telematics as a 'slight negative' after adjusting for its pricing
benets.
14. Specically we used an ordinary least squares xed-effects panel model.
15. Technical note: the brand equity variable shares a common coefficient across Churchill and Privilege.
16. This £10-£20 gure can be derived from the hanging-bars analysis and has been corroborate by conjoint
analysis conducted in 2014 by Hall & Partners.
17. Based on the last 52 weeks of the model to June 2016.
18. Including TV, radio, sponsorship and VOD.
19. You could argue that this is a false dichotomy but for the purposes of this paper we are treating brand
building media lines such as TV, radio, cinema, OOH and press as 'brand' and demand- harvesting media
lines such as DM, door drops, PPC and SEO as 'acquisition'.
