Summary of Australia Day Campaign 2008 TV Poster + On-pack + Online 90 sec TVC Sam’s Serves Appearances on Australian Open coverage + 7 News Exclusively on
Strong uplift in Lamb advertising awareness through January driven by the ‘Australia Day’ TV activity Increased awareness of radio activity for lamb also a function of Sam’s radio program?
The 2008 Australia Day has achieved equally high levels of recognition as the ’07 ad and branding remains strong Branding:There are some ads that people remember but never know what they are for. Which one of these phrases applies best to this ad? Recognition:Have you seen this advert on TV? MB Australia TV Norms % 2007 (15 sec) TV % 2007 (3 min) TV % 2008 (90 sec) TV % Australia Day: Australia Day: 2007 (15 sec) TV % 2007 (3 min) TV % 2008 (90 sec) TV % 339 TARPs 305 TARPs I would definitely remember the ad was for Lamb I wouldn’t be sure which meat the ad was for Base: (n=200) (n=299) (n=301) I wouldn’t even be sure that it was an ad for meat Base: (n=297) (n=153) (n=146) (128 ads)
The campaign still has the capacity to generate high levels of involvement with no negativity seen Involvement diagnosis ‘Australia Day 07’ (3 min) (mean 7.80) ‘Australia Day 08’ (90 sec) (mean 8.44) MB CAWI Norm (mean 4.88) Based on those that recognise ad

How effective has the media placement (Australian Open) been in delivering reach and reinforcing communication?
The media placement’s opportunity to deliver reach is supported by the popularity of the Australian Open, albeit there is a sizable majority not watching the tennis who still need to be hit Interest in Australian Open TV channels watched regularly % % Been to see a live match Channel 7 Channel 9 Tennis fans 63% Watch most of the matches on TV Channel 10 Watch the occasional match on TV ABC Not watched the Australian Open at all SBS Base: (n=302)
While the 90” ad is the main driver of campaign recognition, ‘Sam’s serves’ delivering some incremental reach Campaign Recognition Seen Any Lamb ‘Australia Day’ activity ’07: 66% (n=299) % Seen Any Lamb ‘Australia Day’ activity TV 90 sec Sam’s Serves Poster Ads (206) Base: (206)

How efficient is the cut through potential of the ’08 • Australia Day campaign?
..so we can understand the efficiency of your creative in cutting through Modelling Ad Awareness is all about how we relate this…. ….to this. The aim is to disentangle quality from quantity to see how well each campaign has leveraged the media spend.
Initial indications that this years campaign has achieved an AI of 14, slightly down on last year but a very strong result
…However, if we include TARPs from Sam’s serves the AI is reduced to 6 (as TARPs double). Given the free air time, Sam’s serves delivered, however a watch out if a cost was attached to them efficiency would be impacted
Early days on brand response but we are seeing a build in spontaneous awareness and past 7 day consumption Total Mums with kids 5-17yrs Post- Australia Day % Change from Pre- Australia Day % Post- Australia Day % Change from Pre- Australia Day % Base: (n=302) (n=300) (n=77) (n=65) More to come… Time periods: Pre- Australia Day (10th December- 13th January); Post- Australia Day (14th January-3rd February)
Overall performance of ‘Australia Day’ activity • The Australia Day campaign continues to work hard for Lamb in ’08 • Generates strong levels of cut through- branding and engagement are on par with the high levels achieved in ’07 and response to the ad remains funny, different and enjoyable • Communication take out is strong and in line with objectives • The poster copy is strong and helps to supplement persuasion • The integrated media strategy has been effective • Attaching the campaign to a big event (i.e. Australian Open) has been beneficial • Sam’s serves adding some incremental reach but more obviously response improves when both elements of the campaign are seen
Going forward… • The campaign remains a very popular one, albeit first signs this year of a little wear out • However, not to the extent that suggests 09 will not be successful • In terms of media efficiency, the number of Tarps versus the response we are seeing is down slightly on last year • A function of a 90” execution, consider when cut downs (to 45/60”)can start to play a role without detracting from engagement with the creative
Beef • Snapshot of Beef’s position in the lead up to the Feb ’08 Kids campaign: • How has Beef performed in the long term? • Is there a difference in the response amongst Mums with kids of different ages?
Advertising awareness of Beef has plateaued over the past few months in the absence of ATL activity
Perceptions around beef’s ease of cooking and preparation have decayed without advertising reinforcement
‘Children’s favourite’ status is also down slightly amongst mums
How has beef performed in the long term amongst target Mums?
In the long term, Beef has developed its association with healthy meals and kids appeal (in line with ‘Beef Kids objectives)’ and perceived expense has declined Aug ‘06-Feb ‘07 % March ‘07-Sept ‘07 % Base: (3008) (3098) =Significance level 95%
With the greater positive movements driven by Mums with older kids Mums with kids 5-12yrs Mums with kids 13-17yrs March ‘07-Sept ‘07 % Change from Aug ‘06-Feb ‘07 % March ‘07-Sept ‘07 % Change from Aug ‘06-Feb ‘07 % Base: (659) (494) (422) (405) =Significance level 95%
Red Meat • Update on Red Meat: • What was the impact of the WCRF report on Red Meat measures? • Has Red Meat been able to sustain KPIs in the absence of ATL support (Oct ’07- Jan ’08)?
WCRF post-measures • How has the WCRF report affected consumer attitudes towards Red Meat?
Claimed awareness of Red Meat news increased through November (post-WCRF), although a similar uplift seen for all meat types at this time Similar pattern seen amongst Mums target
Awareness of the WCRF remains unchanged following the release of this year’s report, and red meat’s perceived relationship with risk of cancer is unaffected during this time Heard of WCRF: Believe a diet high in red meat is linked to cancer: Pre- release Oct ’07 % Post-release Nov/Dec ’07 % Yes No significant change in awareness or belief in a link to cancer across segments Base: Pre-release Oct ’07 (n=599); Post-release Nov/Dec ’07 (n=802)
4% Net Not very/at all ethical The red meat industry maintains its ethical and trustworthy reputation
Impressions of red meat producers driving these ethical and trustworthy perceptions QINT2.How ethical and trustworthy do you believe the following producers are? Australian Cattle Producers Australian Sheep Producers Australian Pork Producers Australian Fish/sea food Producers Australian Poultry Producers % % % % % How ethical and trustworthy are… Very Quite Somewhat Not Very Not at all Base: (n=1255)
Ultimately, the WCRF report does not have any notable impact on our key measure of serves across the segments
Overall, the release of the WCRF report does not appear to have impacted attitudes towards red meat • Whilst there has been some growth in noise around red meat, this is mostly positive with very few people spontaneously replaying the proposed link between red meat consumption and cancer. • There is no increase in consumers linking a diet high in red meat with cancer since the release of the report and claimed awareness of WCRF is unchanged post-release. • Claimed usage of the CSIRO well-being diet has declined slightly (from 49% to 44% definitely aware of the diet), although this is probably more a function of time elapsed (no longer the same momentum around it) as the credibility of the diet and the CSIRO has not suffered.
How has Red Meat performed in the absence of ATL in Oct ’07- Jan ’08?
Red meat advertising awareness has decayed in line with reduced media weight, albeit benefiting from lamb spend
The relative size of the segments has remained consistent since the last burst of red meat creative
