recall

This is talking about what marketers call "spontaneous recall".

"Recall" is the term most often encountered in this context; however, on reflection, one could argue that "repeat" is not quite the same thing. "Recall" can simply mean that the respondent has some degree of memory of the campaign in question, whereas "repeat" would mean that they remember it clearly enough to be able to quote it verbatim. I'm not sure that FR has a concise way of making this distinction, so it may be down to the context to determine which is the more appropriate EN term.
