I went to GGT on Dean Street London many years ago. He was the 'T' of GGT. He had a fearsome reputation. The agency always strove to be different. I learned a lot there. In a meeting with Gordon Smith at Walsh Trott Chick Smith a few years later, Dave popped his head in. I expected a frightful glare and a booming voice. He smiled and apologised in a squeaky voice. Funny how perceptions change. One of few ad men who can still engage and teach an audience through brilliant simplicity. Great preso, Trotty
Anaïs, I've been looking, too. There appears to be no source whatsoever except for Dave Trott, who never names a source. The number may have some support in a legitimate 2014 study of Super Bowl ads by Bloomberg that found only 10% were recalled by viewers. (The original Bloomberg article is hard to find, but the study was definitely covered by Bloomberg this third-party report appears legit: www.newmediaandmarketing.com/less-10-super-bowl-spots-recalled/) Did you ever find any reference to Trott's source?
You weren't listing when he asked them "Who remembers an ad from yesterday?" - I think you just getting defensive because he stated some hurtful facts. This guy is a marketing genius.

Looking for the source of study explaining that 89% of ads are going unnoticed. Does anyone know it?

He's a copywriter (a glorified salesperson) not an academic. They can make outrageous claims. Lol
