The HotWired ad effectiveness study

Designed by Rex Briggs, then head of research at HotWired, with the technical support of HotWired staff including Joshua Grossnickle and Oliver Raskin, HotWired used some of Millward Brown measurement scales. But the methodology differed significantly from brand tracking, for which Millward Brown was known. Hollis was instrumental in getting HotWired to work with Millward Brown, and this 1996 landmark study of online advertising, proving that banner ads could have a branding effect before clickthrough is noted as the first study of its kind^{[citation needed]}
