The Proof Newspapers reveal their unrivalled ability to increase the numbers of buyers who would ‘definitely consider’ a ford
Ford The client’s view Our integrated multi-media campaign was carefully planned to ensure that each channel’s performance was optimised, and the whole campaign delivered successful results for the Ford brand. With highly effective creative executions and newspapers’ ability to affect consumer opinions, we were able to maximise the power of the campaign. Lyn West Advertising and Sponsorship Manager Ford of Britain CrossMedia™ research helped us identify the specific role of newspapers in our communications planning and confirmed their value in ensuring Ford is high on the shortlists of our car purchasers.

The test revealed compelling insight into the impact of newspapers: • Newspapers are the most cost-effective medium for driving consideration • Newspapers had the strongest effect on ‘definitely consider’ Ford, driving 62% of the uplift, although accounting for only 16% of media spend • Newspapers are highly cost efficient at moving the needle on brand measures • Newspapers also contributed strongly to higher levels of recommendation and shifting brand perceptions. Overall, newspapers delivered the biggest effects on core brand measures, at the lowest cost • Newspapers are brilliant for getting information across • Brand campaigns which provide the evidence and benefits that trigger people to purchase work particularly well in newspapers • Multiple executions deliver a multiplier response • The more newspaper executions people saw, the more deeply the campaign communicated. Re-appraisal and call to action also increased • Newspaper digital advertising drives deeper involvement with the brand • Extending the newspaper campaign into digital formats boosted Ford website visits and engagement
